Note:

  • We suggest using the postback URL for publisher postback, as it is more reliable, has fewer discrepancies, and is easily trackable. Also, no changes need to be made from the advertiser's end.

  • Always use Javascript Pixel while integrating with Google Tag Manager.

  • Data: The publisher postback URL is added in this section using Trackier's macros and with a suitable parameter. p1 is the most important macro that needs to be added here.

  • Status: You can set the status of the postback as active or inactive as per the requirement.

  • Advanced Options: You enable the option to fire any postback if the payout is zero. You will be required to enter the HTTP method, HTTP headings, and body [not required in case the method is GET].

Adding Javascript Pixel

  • For adding the Javascript Pixel, the Campaign Conversion tracking pixel should only be an Iframe Pixel, which means you need to integrate with the Advertiser using only an Iframe Pixel.

  • Request for the JS script or the pixel from the publisher’s end.

After that, you can follow the steps below.

To add a new postback or pixel, navigate to Publisher, select Postback/Pixel, and click on the Action Button. Choose JavaScript Pixel, select Type, add the necessary information, and then save.
