- ### Native integrations
Native integrations refer to platforms that are predefined in the catalog and should provide an error-free data flow.
The most common error is that the `click_id` is unknown or missing. It happens when AutoTag could not be activated.
- [ ] Check that your links are not hidden behind some javascripts or double redirects.
- [ ] Check that the links are in a standard `a` element.
- [ ] Try to manually set the tracking group attribute (check the integration guidelines).
- [ ] Check whether your offers are not getting traffic from websites where the AnyTrack Tag isn't set.
- [ ] If you just installed AnyTrack, errors might be from traffic that wasn't tracked by AnyTrack.
- #### Conversion data doesn't trigger an error 🔴, but is not validated 🟢:
- [ ] Check that the API Integration you've set in the integration matches the pre-defined API Integration we provide.
- [ ] Copy the Event Reference from the Conversion Event Log and contact the [support](contact-support).
- #### You're not getting any conversions:
- [ ] Check that the API Integration is set and active in your platform.
- [ ] Check that you're passing the correct AutoTag `c` parameter to the offer link.
- [ ] Check that the Postback URL is correctly inserted in the custom integration.
