Kindred Affiliates

Set up Kindred Affiliates integration with AnyTrack to track conversions and optimize your affiliate marketing campaigns.

What is the Kindred Affiliates Integration?

The Kindred Affiliates integration connects your affiliate marketing campaigns with AnyTrack's conversion tracking system. This integration automatically captures visitor data, tracks affiliate link clicks, and records conversions from Kindred Affiliates offers.

Why Use This Integration?

Track Every Conversion
Get complete visibility into your affiliate performance with real-time conversion data from Kindred Affiliates to AnyTrack.

Optimize Ad Campaigns
Feed accurate conversion data to Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and TikTok Ads for automatic campaign optimization.

Maximize ROI
Make data-driven decisions with detailed attribution reports showing which traffic sources generate the most valuable conversions.

How the Integration Works

The 4-Step Process

  1. Visitor Arrives: AnyTrack captures traffic source data and visitor information when someone lands on your website.

  2. Link Click Tracked: When visitors click your Kindred Affiliates affiliate links, AnyTrack:

    • Records detailed click data
    • Sends events to your tracking pixels
    • Adds a unique identifier (click_id) to the link

  3. Conversion Recorded: When visitors convert on Kindred Affiliates, the platform sends conversion data back to AnyTrack in real-time.

  4. Data Distributed: AnyTrack processes the conversion and sends it to your ad platforms (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, TikTok Ads) for campaign optimization.

Prerequisites

Before setting up Kindred Affiliates, ensure you have:

  • AnyTrack tracking tag installed in your website's <head> section (Installation Guide)
  • Active affiliate account with Kindred Affiliates
  • Access to your Kindred Affiliates affiliate dashboard

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Install the Integration

  1. Go to your AnyTrack Integration Catalog
  2. Search for "Kindred Affiliates"
  3. Click the Kindred Affiliates card
  4. Click Install

Step 2: Generate Security Key

To connect your Kindred Affiliates account to AnyTrack:

  1. Log into your Kindred Affiliates affiliate dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings > API or Security Keys
  3. Click Generate New Key
  4. Set IP whitelist to 0.0.0.0/0 (allows AnyTrack's servers to receive conversions)
  5. Copy the security key
### **Why whitelist all IPs?**

AnyTrack's servers use dynamic IP addresses, so whitelisting all IPs ensures conversions are always received. This is a standard configuration for webhook-based integrations.

Step 3: Add Security Key to AnyTrack

  1. Return to AnyTrack integration settings
  2. Paste your security key in the designated field
  3. Click Save

Validate Your Setup

Check Link Tracking

Your affiliate links need proper tracking data tags. AnyTrack handles this automatically through AutoTag.

AutoTag Methods:

  • Automatic (Recommended): AnyTrack finds and tags Kindred Affiliates links automatically
  • AutoScan: Works with redirect plugins by scanning and tagging embedded links
  • Manual: Add tracking attributes using data-tracking-group="incomeaccess" or append &c=--CLICK-ID-- to links

Manual Link Example:

<a href="https://example.foo/goto/kindredaffiliates" data-tracking-group="incomeaccess">
  Kindred Affiliates Offer
</a>

{<a href="https://example.foo/goto/kindredaffiliates" data-tracking-group="incomeaccess">Hover to see the AnyTrack click_id added automatically</a>}

Verify Link Tagging:

  1. Add a Kindred Affiliates affiliate link to your website
  2. Hover over the link or inspect it in browser developer tools
  3. Confirm the c=[click_id] parameter is added automatically

Verify Conversions

Check your conversion tracking by either:

  • Waiting for a natural conversion
  • Creating a test conversion yourself

Then inspect the conversion logs in your AnyTrack dashboard to confirm data flows correctly.

Sample Conversion Data:

{
  "netrevenue": "2.55",
  "affcustomid": "QfdSVGM3YZTZjwj0DElkDFYFBbgendJlTZ",
  "activedays": "1",
  "totalcommission": "1.02",
  "bannerid": "1195",
  "creativename": "Text_Link_WH_Sport",
  "clicks": "0"
}

What to Expect After Setup

Timeline

Real-Time Tracking:

  • Immediate: Link clicks appear as OutboundClick events in AnyTrack (visible within seconds)
  • Real-time conversions: Conversion data flows from the affiliate program to AnyTrack and then to your connected ad platforms in real-time
  • Validation timeframe: Depending on your traffic volume, you can validate the integration within minutes to hours (not days)
### **Quick Validation Tip**

For instant validation, connect Google Analytics 4 and use the Debug View to see events flowing in real-time as you test clicks and conversions.

Where to Check

  1. Link tracking: Use the AnyTrack Pixel Helper extension on your website
  2. Conversions: Check the Conversion Event Log in your AnyTrack dashboard
  3. Attribution: View Attribution Reports in your dashboard
  4. Real-time validation: Connect Google Analytics 4 and use Debug View to see events in real-time

If You Don't See Data

If conversions don't appear within a few hours of active traffic:

  1. Review the Conversion Event Log for errors
  2. Verify the c parameter appears in your Kindred Affiliates dashboard reports
  3. Follow troubleshooting steps below

Common Questions

<FaqAccordion
title="Common Questions"
icon="fa-duotone fa-circle-question"
items={[
{
question: "Can I import past conversions?",
answer: "No. AnyTrack only tracks conversions that happen after a visitor clicks through your website with the tracking tag installed. Past conversions cannot be imported because they lack the required click_id to connect them to traffic sources."
},
{
question: "Can I track direct linking campaigns?",
answer: "Yes, but this requires a custom setup. Direct linking to Kindred Affiliates offers (without a landing page) needs special configuration. See our direct linking guide for details."
},
{
question: "Can I use a different subid parameter?",
answer: "No. The IncomeAccess platform expects the c parameter that AnyTrack provides. Using a different parameter will prevent conversions from being tracked back to the original click."
},
{
question: "What if conversions don't have a click_id?",
answer: "Conversions without a click_id cannot be tracked. The click_id connects the conversion back to the original website visit and traffic source. Without it, AnyTrack cannot attribute the conversion correctly. Learn more about click IDs"

Troubleshooting

Step 1: Verify Your Basic Setup

Check Tracking Tag Installation

  1. Install the AnyTrack Pixel Helper Chrome Extension
  2. Visit your website
  3. Verify the extension icon turns blue (indicating AnyTrack tag is detected)
  4. If the icon doesn't turn blue, review tag installation

Verify Security Key is Valid

  1. Go to your AnyTrack integration settings for Kindred Affiliates
  2. Check for error messages in the integration status
  3. If you see "Api key format is invalid" or similar errors:
    • Log into your Kindred Affiliates affiliate dashboard
    • Generate a new security key
    • Update the security key in AnyTrack settings
    • Click Save

💡

Security Key Requirements

  • Set IP whitelist to 0.0.0.0/0 in your affiliate dashboard
  • Copy the complete key without extra spaces
  • Save in AnyTrack before testing

Step 2: Not Getting Any Conversions?

Check Your Integration Settings

  • Verify the integration is active in your Kindred Affiliates affiliate dashboard
  • Confirm you're using the correct AutoTag parameter (c)
  • Check that your security key hasn't expired (if applicable)

Check Your Link Tagging

  • Verify links aren't hidden behind JavaScript or double redirects
  • Ensure links use standard <a> HTML elements
  • Try adding the tracking group manually: data-tracking-group="incomeaccess"

Step 3: Conversions Show Errors?

Most Common Issue: Missing Click ID
This happens when AutoTag couldn't add the click_id to your affiliate links.

Solutions:

  • Check if links are behind JavaScript or complex redirects
  • Verify links are in standard HTML format
  • Manually add tracking group attributes to links
  • Ensure your offers only get traffic from pages with the AnyTrack tag installed

Conversions Not Validated?

  • Compare your integration settings with AnyTrack's pre-defined integration
  • Copy the Event Reference from your Conversion Event Log and contact support

💡

Before Contacting Support

Check the Conversion Event Log to identify specific errors. When contacting support, include:

  • Event Reference ID from any errors
  • Screenshot of your link's HTML code
  • Screenshot of integration error (if any)
  • Your Kindred Affiliates affiliate ID
