Before you reach out to the tech support, please inspect the conversion log to see what type of errors you are getting and try to fix the integration by following these troubleshooting guidelines.

  • Check that your links are not hidden behind some javascripts or double redirects.
  • Check that the links are in a standard a element.
  • Try to manually set the tracking group attribute (check the integration guidelines).
  • Check whether your offers are not getting traffic from websites where the AnyTrack Tag isn't set.
  • If you just installed AnyTrack, errors might be from traffic that wasn't tracked by AnyTrack.

  • Conversion data doesn't trigger an error 🔴, but is not validated 🟢:

    • Check that the Postback URL you've set in the integration matches the pre-defined Postback URL we provide.
    • Copy the Event Reference from the Conversion Event Log and contact the support.

  • You're not getting any conversions:

  • Check that the Postback URL is set and active in your platform.
  • Check that you're passing the correct AutoTag data2 parameter to the offer link.
  • Check that the Postback URL is correctly inserted in the custom integration.
