Reminder about AutoTag

AutoTag is a powerful feature in AnyTrack that automatically appends subid and click_id data to affiliate links. This ensures that all necessary tracking information is passed correctly. There are three methods of using AutoTag:

  • Default: Automatically applies when links are published on your website as-is.
  • AutoScan: Scans links hidden behind redirect plugins and AutoTags them according to their tracking needs.
  • Manual Setup: You can manually configure tracking by adding the appropriate attributes to your links, such as data-tracking-group="incomeaccess".

Example:
To manually update links with tracking parameters:
