Global postback URLs allow you to track conversions in real-time by having our system ping your system when transactions occur. Postback tracking is not supported by all of our advertisers, but you can always find all of your transactions in your reports.

Important: Include Your Own Click IDs for Postback Tracking
To make postback tracking work, your tracking links must include your own unique click IDs (also called subtracking IDs). These IDs let you match each transaction to the original click from your tracking platform.
How to set it up:
-
Add your click IDs to your tracking links.
Use one of the following parameters to pass your click IDs: fobs=, fobs2=, fobs3=, fobs4=, or fobs5=.Example:
yourflexofferstrackinglink.com/&fobs=YOURCLICKID - Add the same click ID variable to your global postback URL.
Use the matching variable so we can send the click IDs back to you: #fobs#, #fobs2#, #fobs3#, #fobs4#, or #fobs5#.
Example:yourpostbackurl.com/yourclickid=#fobs#
If you need help adding subtracking IDs to your links, see our guide: How do I modify my link, adding Campaign IDs or SubIDs?
Congratulations! You have successfully added a global postback URL!
Note: Postback tracking may not be supported by all advertisers, but you can still view all of your transactions on the Transaction Details page in your account. If you have any questions, please email our team at support@flexoffers.com.
