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 tracker and traffic source is extremely important if you require to pass the conversions data to your traffic source.
The OctoClick pre-configured postback on the side of BeMob looks the following way:
https://s2s.octoclick.com/postback?cost={payout}&uuid={externalId}¤cy={payout.USD}
https://s2s.octoclick.com/postback - main part of OctoClick Postback URL.
{externalId} - BeMob dedicated macro which will pass the ID of conversion to OctoClick.
{payout} - BeMob dedicated macro which passes the amount of revenue received from the conversion to OctoClick.
OctoClick also requires to send payout currency in
currency={payout.USD} via postback URL.
This information is needed to enrich the reports on the side of traffic source and optimize your campaign in future.
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 OctoClick.
On the side of BeMob Approved status should be selected to pass conversions data to the side of OctoClick.
¶ Parameters
The list of parameters and tokens supported with OctoClick 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. zone IDs, campaign IDs, creative IDs etc.
If you pass the data on conversions to the OctoClick side, make sure that External ID field is completed.
If you wish to receive the cost data automatically from OctoClick, it is required to assure that cost token is available in the template.
By default, cost data is passed via the {SPENT} macro. If you’re purchasing traffic in Russian Rubles, the macro should be changed to {SPENT_RUB}, and the reporting currency should also be set to Russian Rubles.
All the tokens available with traffic source settings will be automatically added at the end of Campaign URL once you select OctoClick 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.
