Cannot get FunnelFlux to fire pixel on Taboola (5)

I have been using this software for a week or so now and am having trouble getting it to fire a pixel on Taboola.

I normally would just take this up with their customer support, but I'm afriad I keep getting passed around from one rep to another. It's been almost a week and still no answer from them.

I noticed FunnelFlux doesn't have any kind of an 'external id' token that I can pass back to Taboola.

Here is the postback URL I am inserted:

I had to use a regular tracking field spot that I named click-id, referring to the token {click_id}. The Postback looked ok to me.

I was hoping someone could please help me with this setup to get it firing correctly on Taboola. I appreciate your help!


SIncerely,

Will ping the flux support and ask them to assist you here

Hi,

Indeed we don't (for now) have a global external click ID field.

You were right to add it as a URL tracking field manually.

The issue I can see above is that the postback URL is using the incorrect tokens.

For tracking fields, the tokens are {trackingfield-name}, so rather than {click_id} in the postback (which is the traffic source's token, not Flux's), you should use "{trackingfield-click-id}", since the name of the field you specified above is "click-id".

Secondly, {payout} is used in the postback URL, but the FunnelFlux token is {flux_payout}.

Note that once you make these changes, you could go to your reporting in Flux or your network and grab a list of all converted hit IDs. Then go to the update conversions section > re-upload these and toggle on the last option to fire traffic source postback URLs even if they have fired before. That should fire all the conversions over to Taboola and bring things in line.

Thanks for your fast response Zeno and Matuloo, I really appreciate your help!

Zeno, just wanted to make sure this looked ok.

Would I need to resubmit my updated campaign link to Taboola in order for the {trackingfield-click-id} to be tracked correctly now?

Thanks!

In the tracking fields, you should use Taboola's tokens -- so the relevant box should have:

[  click-id   ]   |   [   {click_id}   ]
