AutoScan

AutoScan crawls your website as soon as the AnyTrack Tracking Tag is detected. It scans pages, identifies trackable elements (affiliate links, forms, checkout buttons), and uses AutoTag to automatically append the correct click_id and SubID parameters—so you capture all conversion data.

How It Works

After you install the AnyTrack Tracking Tag, AutoScan crawls your website following your sitemap. For every page visited, AutoScan identifies links matching platforms in the Integration Catalog and tags them with the --CLICK-ID-- token. This token is replaced at runtime with the actual Click ID for the visitor triggering the conversion.

All discovered links are tracked automatically through the AnyTrack Tracking Tag once the scan completes.

Manual Page Scans

If some pages aren't discovered automatically:

1. Go to Property Settings > Auto Scan
2. Enter the page URL
3. If the page wasn't scanned before, click Scan Page
4. If the page was already scanned, view the results or click Rescan

Page Scan Limits

The Page Scans indicator shows remaining scans for the current billing period. Scans reset monthly. Upgrade your plan if you need more scans due to frequent affiliate link updates.

When No Elements Are Found

If AutoScan returns zero trackable elements, the links are likely not standard HTML anchor tags. Links generated dynamically by JavaScript after page load are invisible to the AnyTrack Tracking Tag and cannot be detected by AutoScan.

Ensure your affiliate links and trackable elements are rendered as standard <a href="..."> tags in the page source—not injected by client-side JavaScript after page loads.

Shopify and WooCommerce Integration

If your site runs on Shopify or WooCommerce, ignore AutoScan results and errors. All trackable elements on these platforms are already mapped through their dedicated integrations—AutoScan is not required.

Blocked Crawlers

If you've installed security software (Cloudflare, Sucuri, etc.), allowlist the AnyTrack crawler. Use the crawler name (not IP address—AnyTrack uses dynamic IPs).

Crawler name: AnyTrack-Crawler/1.0

A blocked crawler does not indicate a missing AnyTrack Tracking Tag. It only prevents AutoScan from crawling pages. The Tracking Tag still fires normally for real visitors.

Selector Configuration

When editing a tracked element, you'll see Selector IDs under the element name. Change selectors to target different elements on the page.

Element selectors have property-wide scope—changing a selector on one page applies to all pages with that same selector. Switch to a more specific selector to narrow the match.

Selector Types

Link Selector — Matches full or partial URLs:

• trafficker.io/recommends/cj-affiliate-link/
• trafficker.io/recommends/cj-affiliate-link/?utm_source=trafficker

Element ID Selector — Matches HTML elements by tag type and ID:

• button#add-to-cart matches an "Add to Cart" button

Element Label Selector — Matches HTML elements by tag type and displayed text:

• a:"Buy Now" matches a link displaying "Buy Now"

A link selector can be followed by an element label selector to match elements only on specific page URLs.
