The Tracking tab allows you to set up and configure the process of sending publisher data (such as lead and channel parameters, date, status, earnings, etc.) to your third-party tracking system.
To access, go to the Publisher Management > Publishers section, select the Publisher, and click the “View” button in the “Actions” column. Select the “Tracking” tab on the Publisher setup page.
Tracking Rules
The Tracking Rules block allows you to configure the Event Tracking feature on the Publisher configuration level. Event Tracking allows you to track the various events in the system (e.g., lead sold, lead rejected, publisher earnings received, etc.) and set the actions to be automatically triggered by them.
The list of Event Tracking Rules contains the following information:
- ID: The unique identification number of the rule.
- Trigger: The name of the trigger that is set in this rule.
- Trigger Settings: The list of settings for the trigger.
- Action: The action to perform according to the rule.
- Action Settings: The list of settings for the action.
- Status: The status of the rule (Active/Disabled).
- Created At: The date and time of the rule creation.
- Author: The name of the user who created the rule.
- Adjacent Rules: The number of tracking rules that can be applied simultaneously with the selected rule. Click on the number to see the list of rules that can run concurrently. To go back to the full list of tracking rules, click the “Reset” button.
To set up the feature, click the “Add Rule” button.
Select the required options in the “Add Rule” pop-up window:
- Trigger: Select the event that triggers the action. Note: The variation of triggers differs for every event type.
- [Call Logic] Lead Rejected: The lead was rejected by the Publisher.
- [Call Logic] Lead Sold: The lead was sold to the Publisher.
- [Call Logic] Publisher Earning Received: The Publisher has received earnings.
- [LMS] Lead Rejected: The lead is not accepted by any Campaign.
- [LMS] Lead Sold: The lead is sold through the Campaign.
- [LMS] Publisher Earning Received: The Publisher has received earnings.
- Action: Select the event tracking type. Once you select the preferred event, click the “Next” button to proceed with the setup. Follow the instructions in the corresponding article for the selected action:
The “Warnings” block allows you to specify the actions for the system to determine as errors:
- Warn if Content-type is text/html: Select the option for the system to warn if the content type is text/html (Yes / No).
Use case: This option is useful when the system expects a non-HTML response (for example, JSON or plain text) from an endpoint. Receiving a text/HTML response often indicates an error page, redirect, or unexpected web response instead of a valid tracking response. Enabling this warning helps users quickly identify misconfigured URLs, authentication issues, or endpoints returning fallback pages rather than valid data. - Warn if HTTP-response contains Set-Cookie header: Select the option for the system to warn if HTTP-response contains Set-Cookie header.
Use case: This warning helps detect responses that attempt to set cookies. In tracking and server-to-server integrations, cookies are usually unnecessary and may indicate redirects, session-based responses, or unintended web behavior. Enabling this option can help prevent issues caused by incorrect endpoints or responses designed for browsers rather than backend integrations. - Valid Response Codes: Enter the valid response codes separated by commas or line breaks. Note: This setting refers to specific HTTP response codes that should be considered successful for the tracking rule (for example, 200, 201, or 204). Users can determine which codes to include by checking the documentation of the receiving endpoint.
You can easily view and address these issues through the Warning Log report.
Read more about the Warning Log report in the Knowledge Base article.
The “Warning Notifications” block allows you to set up the email notifications for cases when processing the rules, errors specified in the “Warnings” block appear:
- Enable notifications: Select the option to enable or disable the warning notifications (Yes / No). Example: Enable notifications and set the Timeframe to “1 hour,” % of Warnings to “10,” and Number of Warnings to “100.” If, within one hour, more than 10% of your events or over 100 total warnings occur, the system will send an alert to the listed Emails so you can investigate the issue quickly. Note: Enabling notifications will incur an additional charge of $0.0001 on top of the regular price.
- Timeframe: Select the time period within which the warning data will be analyzed (5 minutes / 3 hours / 6 hours).
- % of Warnings: Enter the percentage of events with warnings that must exceed this value within the selected timeframe.
- Number of Warnings: Enter the number of warnings that must exceed this value within the selected timeframe.
- Users to Notify: Select the users to whom the system will send the warning notification.
- Emails to Notify: Enter the email addresses of notification recipients, separated by a comma.
- Notification frequency (every X minutes): Enter the value for the notification frequency in minutes.

Amount Tracking
The Amount Tracking block allows you to manage the notifications (pings) about reaching the predefined threshold for the amount on the Publisher’s balance.
To configure the option, click the “Add Amount Tracking URL” button in the “Amount Tracking” block.
Fill in the following fields in the “Add Amount Tracking URL” pop-up window:
- Source: Select the Publisher Source.
- Amount to fire, $: Enter the amount of money upon reaching which a ping will be sent.
- URL for ping: Enter the URL for ping.
- Status: Select the pixel status (Active, Disabled). Note: If the “Disabled” status is selected, the pixel won't fire and won't calculate.
Click the “Save” button to confirm.
Example:
Assume that in the “Amount to fire” field 20.00 USD value is entered. The Lead with the 5.00 USD price is sent by the Publisher and is sold. The data about this action will be recorded and displayed in the Publisher Report, but the ping notification itself will not be sent because the Lead’s sold price is lower than 20.00 USD.
Then, the Lead with the 40.00 USD price will be sent by the Publisher and is sold, and the total amount the Publisher has at the current moment is 45.00 USD (40.00 + 5.00). Because this amount is higher than 20.00 USD, the Publisher will receive a ping notification.
