UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS

Managing Postbacks As A Partner

Learn how to set up and manage postbacks, tracking pixels, server-to-server callbacks, and event tracking for your marketing campaigns.

Overview: What is a Postback?

A postback is a way for Everflow to tell your system when you've made a sale (a sale is a loose definition of an app download, an actual product sale, a newsletter signup, etc. - we call it a Conversion) or achieved another goal defined in the Offer you were approved to run

Think of it like an automatic message that says "Success!"

It sends important details about the Conversion / Event / Click directly to your server.

Types of Tracking

You can track three main types of events:

Tracking Type Description Conversions When someone completes the main goal of the Advertiser’s Offer (like a purchase or app install) Events When someone takes other important actions (newsletter sign up) Clicks When someone clicks on content you're running for your approved CPC (cost-per-click) Offers

Setting Up Your Postback

Go to Postbacks Click the Postback button Choose your settings: Pick what you want to track (Conversion, Event, or CPC) Choose where to use it (Global for all offers, or Specific for one offer) Select how to send it (Postback for server-to-server, or HTML for pixels) Enter your postback URL

Managing Your Postbacks

Find all your postbacks under the Postbacks section Click the three dots on the right to edit any postback Check if your postbacks are working in Reporting > Postback View detailed information by clicking the three dots (⋮) and selecting View Debug Info
Important Notes If your server can't receive the postback, we'll try 25 times After 25 failed attempts, the postback turns off automatically Your network manager will be notified if this happens
