AutoTag Methods

πŸ”₯

Reminder about AutoTag:

AutoTag is a function that is enabled by default through the AnyTrack Tracking Tag, and that appends c & click_id data to affiliate links. Learn more about AutoTag.

  • Default: By default, AnyTrack automatically identifies and AutoTags Fanduel links found on your website.
  • AutoScan: AnyTrack scans links that are embedded in redirect 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="incomeaccess" or rel="incomeaccess". More about Tracking Group.
    • Click ID Token: You manually append the subid: &c=--CLICK-ID-- to the offer link.

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


FAQ & Troubleshooting

  • Can I import past conversions into AnyTrack?
    No. AnyTrack can only ingest conversions triggered following a visitor session on your website.

  • Can I track direct linking campaigns?
    Yes, but this requires a custom setup. Please refer to this article.

  • Can I use a different subid parameter than the one predefined by AnyTrack?
    No.
