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

## Fanduel Integration Overview

Fanduel and AnyTrack have partnered to provide a full conversion tracking solution. With this integration, Fanduel can send its customers' conversion data directly to AnyTrack's platform where it is then forwarded to relevant advertising platforms like Google Ads, Facebook `Conversion API`, and TikTok API. This ensures that all conversions are tracked accurately so marketers know exactly how their campaigns are performing in real-time. Additionally, with the help of sophisticated analytics tools available on AnyTrack's dashboard, users can fine-tune their marketing strategies for maximum ROI.

### How does the Fanduel 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 Fanduel 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 API Integration.
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 `c` & `click_id` data to affiliate links. Learn [more about AutoTag](/docs/autotag).
</Callout>

* **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](/docs/tgid).
  * **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](/docs/deeplink).

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

* **Can I track conversions without the`click_id`?**
  No. The `click_id` passed to the Fanduel links is required to track conversions.

* **The Conversion Event Name is not what I am expecting, how can I change it?**
  You can update the Event Mapping in the Integration page.
