Everad

Everad Integration Overview

The Everad and AnyTrack integration helps advertisers simplify their post-click tracking. By connecting the two platforms, conversion data is sent from Everad to AnyTrack and then forwarded to other ad platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Conversion API and TikTok API. This saves time by simplifying multiple steps of manual setup processes into one automated process with a single point of control.

How does the Everad 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 Everad 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.

Take these steps to troubleshoot errors you encounter in AnyTrack

• General troubleshooting

  • Verify that your Tracking Tag is set in the head section of your website.
  • If you're on the free plan, verify that you didn't reach the monthly traffic limit and upgrade if needed.

• Conversion sources

🚧

****

Before you reach out to the tech support, please inspect the conversion log to see what type of errors you are getting and try to fix the integration by following these troubleshooting guidelines.

• 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 JavaScript 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 Postback URL you've set in the integration matches the pre-defined Postback URL we provide.
    • Copy the Event Reference from the Conversion Event Log and contact the support.

  • You're not getting any conversions:

  • Check that the Postback URL is set and active in your platform.
  • Check that you're passing the correct AutoTag sid1 parameter to the offer link.
  • Check that the Postback URL is correctly inserted in the custom integration.
