      Publisher Configuration: Tracking

      Check our short guide on how to use the Publisher Configuration: Tracking tab to access essential tracking settings.

       

      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. 

      Event Tracking Rules 

      The Event 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.

      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.

      add_amountClick 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.
