¶ Before You Start
Make sure you have your MGID account active before creating a campaign on the side of BeMob.
¶ BeMob Settings
As MGID is already listed in BeMob templates all the required fields will be completed automatically when this traffic source is selected.
To add MGID from templates:
- Press Traffic Sources.
- Click on New from Template.
- Type MGID into the search bar.
- Select MGID.
- Click on Next.
If you are an experienced BeMob user or have tracking background, you will need to put the value from MGID instead of 'YOUR_LEAD_ID_MGID' and click on Save button to store this traffic source for your future campaigns.
However if you are at the stage of getting familiar with BeMob, or even tracking in general, we strongly recommend to read this guide till the end.
The traffic source template consists of two sections: Traffic Source Details with postback settings and Parameters.
¶ Postback Settings
Setting up a postback between BeMob and traffic source is extremely important if it is required to pass the conversions data to your traffic source.
Let's see how to set up MGID postback with BeMob:
https://a.mgid.com/postback?e=YOUR_LEAD_ID_MGID&r={payout}&c={externalId}
https://a.mgid.com/postback - main part of MGID Postback URL.
YOUR_LEAD_ID_MGID - add your unique MGID event name instead. Availalbe on the side of MGID.
{externalId} - BeMob dedicated macro which will pass the ID of conversion to MGID.
{payout} - BeMob dedicated macro which passes the amount of revenue received from the conversion to MGID.
Always make sure the {externalId} token is available in the postback URL as this token is required to pass the ID of conversion from BeMob to MGID.
It is required to specify your MGID unique lead ID instead of 'YOUR_LEAD_ID_MGID'.
For this you should do the following:
- Press Add campaign button.
- Provide all the required campaign details and press Confirm button.
- Scroll down to Conversion Sensors section.
- Turn MGID Conversion Tracking option ON.
- Select BeMob from the list of templates.
You will be provided with 3 Postback URLs generated for each of conversion type: Interest, Desire and Action.
- In Postback URLs change Goal types to new123456, confirm123456, and decline123456.
123456 - is a unique ID that will be passed to MGID along with other conversion data.
- Select the required conversion type and copy its Postback URL.
You can use from 1 up to 3 conversion types on the side of MGID.
- Press Save button to store campaign settings.
- Go back to your BeMob account and paste the Postback URL in the corresponding field.
On the side of BeMob Approved status should be selected to pass conversions data to the side of MGID.
In cases when your affiliate network can pass data of different conversion statuses to BeMob you can send data of conversion status to MGID.
It is required to specify {status} along with your unique ID for e parameter in the Postback URL:
https://a.mgid.com/postback?e={status}123456&r={payout}&c={externalId}
In this case you should mark Approved, New and Declined checkboxes.
¶ Parameters
The list of parameters and tokens supported with MGID are already preconfigured in the template.
These parameters and tokens are required to transfer the additional details on traffic to your report in tracker, e.g. teaser IDs, campaign IDs, widget IDs etc.
If you pass the data on conversions to the MGID side, make sure that External ID field is completed.
If you wish to receive the cost data automatically from MGID, it is required to assure that cost token is available in the template.
All the tokens available with traffic source settings will be automatically added at the end of Campaign URL once you select MGID in campaign settings.
The data will be available in report on Custom parameters and can be used for further optimization and targeting of your campaigns.
Press Save to store the traffic source settings for your future campaign.
