FunnelFlux - how tracking works. (5)

FunnelFlux - how tracking works.

Please, help me understand how tracking works.

Tracker: FunnelFlux
Traffic Source: PropellerAds
Offer Source: Mobidea

Directlinking:

Offer URL from Mobidea:
Pattern:
'https://www.rotatemyurls.com/offer/108821|4435?data1=Track1&data2=Track2&tag={Externa l_ID_from_traffic_source}
My offer URL:
'https://www.rotatemyurls.com/offer/108821|4435?data1={campaign-id}&data2={trafficsource-id}&tag={hit-id}

Postback URL to Mobidea:
'http://tracking.com/tracking/conversions/postback.php?flux_payout={{MONEY}}&flux_txid=&flux _hid={{EXTERNAL_ID}}

According to Mobidea tag={External_ID_from_traffic_source}.

Postback URL to PropellerADS from FunnelFlux.

'http://ad.propellerads.com/conversion.php?aid=9999tid=8888visitor_id={trackin gfield-visitor_id}
visitor_id = ${SUBID}

Postback URL to PropellerADS from PropellerAds webpage.

http://ad.propellerads.com/conversion.php?aid=9999&pid=&tid=8888&visitor_id=$ {SUBID}

When I add to my offer URL tag={hit-id} how will they know to place uniqID there, according to PropellerAds it should be like that tag=${SUBID}?

So it should be tag={hit-id} or tag=${SUBID} and the most important question why?

I'm not using funnelflux myself, so will ping someone from the funnelflux team to help you out directly

The main principle to understand with tokens is "you should use a token that the system involved understands".

So, any URLs you configure in FunnelFlux that will be processed by FunnelFlux should be of the form {token}, e.g. {hit-id}, {trackingfield-name}, {location-country}, etc.

${SUBID} is not a token FunnelFlux understands and so if this is used in a URL configured in FunnelFlux it will not get turned into anything -- it will just stay as "${SUBID}.

So, let's look at each step:

PropellerAds campaign URLIn PropellerAds you are probably using a URL that looks like this:

Code:

http://domain.com/?flux_fts=xxxx&visitor_id=${SUBID}&campaign={campaignid}&zone={zoneid}

In a live campaign, for each click the ${SUBID} will turn into e.g. 39827423049 and FunnelFlux will store the value "39827423049" under the parameter visitor_id

PropellerAds postback inside FunnelFlux

The postback URL inside FunnelFlux in the traffic source settings needs to send the visitor_id parameter back when a conversion happens.

This value can be obtained using a FunnelFlux token. The tokens for data from traffic sources are in the form {trackingfield-name}, so the token needed is {trackingfield-visitor_id}. You would not use ${SUBID} as this is not a FunnelFlux token, so will not be replaced by anything meaningful.

So you would use this as your postback URL:

Code:

http://ad.propellerads.com/conversion.php?aid=XXXXX&pid=&tid=YYYYY&visitor_id={trackingfield-visitor_id}

Mobidea offer URL in FunnelFlux

For your offer URL you need to pass hit ID to the network, using the token {hid-id}.

You can pass this under whatever params the network provides, you will just need to use the correct corresponding token in the postback on their side.

Example:

Code:

https://www.rotatemyurls.com/offer/108821|4435?data1={campaign-id}&data2={trafficsource-id}&tag={hit-id}

In this case you are passing the hit ID under the 'tag' parameter, so later you will need whatever Mobidea token provides the value of 'tag'. No other token would work.

Postback URL in Mobidea

In Mobidea all you need to do is find the token for "tag" -- which could be {tag}, could be {{tag}}, could be {{external-id}} -- you need to find this in their documentation.

Your info suggests the token for "tag" is {{EXTERNAL_ID}}, so the postback URL to use is:

Code:

http://domain.com/tracking/conversions/postback.php?flux_payout=&flux_txid=&flux_hid={{EXTERNAL_ID}}

You could add the token for payout after flux_payout as well. As long as the flux_hid part is correct, conversions will track.

Thank you zeno and matuloo.

I understand how tokens work.

I was missing this part. That I need add below URL to PropellerAds.

http://domain.com/?flux_fts=xxxx&visitor_id=${SUBID}&campaign={campa ignid}&zone={zoneid}

I was trying to figure it out how does it work that I send a traffic to my offer URL from Mobidea (skipping FunnelFlux) and I was thinking what kind of magic is it that I gona have stats in FunnelFlux.

Now everything is clear, I see in my FunnelFlux where to send a traffic from PropellerAds.

Thank you very much and I apologize for stupid questions :-)
