> Learn how to integrate AdCombo with AnyTrack for automated affiliate conversion tracking. Set up postback URLs to track conversions and send data to your ad platforms for campaign optimization.

## AdCombo Integration Overview

AdCombo and AnyTrack integration allows for a automatic transfer of conversion data from AdCombo to various platforms such as Google Ads, Facebook `Conversion API`, and TikTok API. With this integration, advertisers can quickly identify their highest-performing campaigns and adjust them accordingly. All the advertiser needs to do is connect their AdCombo account with AnyTrack—no manual uploading or complicated setup required. Once connected, all conversions will be recorded in real-time via AnyTrack’s automated tracking system, ensuring accurate attribution reporting on each platform it's sent to.

### How does the AdCombo AnyTrack integration work:

1. **Traffic**: When visitors land on your website, AnyTrack collects traffic source data and First Party data.
2. **Engagements**: When visitors click on your AdCombo affiliate links, AnyTrack does a few things:
   1. Collects granular data tied to the `OutboundClick`.
   2. Triggers Event Tracking API requests to your Tracking Tags and analytics.
3. **Conversions:** When visitors convert on the merchant's website, AnyTrack receives real-time conversion data through Postback URL.
4. **Attribution:** AnyTrack processes the conversion data and reports it across various reporting sections of the AnyTrack Dashboard.
5. **`Conversion API`:** AnyTrack then sends your conversions to your **Ad Platforms' `Conversion API`** so you can feed your ad platform's Machine Learning, AI, and automatic optimization according to 100% of your conversion data.

### Link tracking

Since tracking starts when visitors click on offer links, you verify that your links are tracked and AutoTagged.

### AutoTag Methods

<Callout icon="🔥" theme="default">
  ### Reminder about AutoTag:

  **AutoTag** is a function that is enabled by default through the AnyTrack Tracking Tag, and that appends `clickid` & `click_id` data to affiliate links. Learn [more about AutoTag](/docs/autotag).
</Callout>

* **Default**: By default, AnyTrack automatically identifies and AutoTags AdCombo links found on your website.
* **AutoScan**: AnyTrack scans links that are embedded in redirects plugins and AutoTags them accordingly.
* **Manual**:
  * **Tracking Group Attribute**: You add the tracking group attribute to links according to their tracking requirements. For example: `data-tracking-group="adcombo"` or `rel="adcombo"`. More about [Tracking Group](/docs/tgid).
  * **Click ID Token:** You manually append the `subid`: `&clickid=--CLICK-ID--` to the offer link.

Once the links are set up, you can check in your AdCombo account reports and see whether the `clickid` parameters are passed to the offer links.
