Accessing & Editing S2S Postback URLs

Learn how to access and configure server-to-server postback URLs, pass conversion information, and track detailed metrics across your marketing campaigns using Everflow's flexible S2S postback system.

How To Access S2S Postbacks URLs

At The Offer Level

In order to access the S2S Postback that the Advertiser needs to configure on their end, head to a specific Offer:

In the left sidebar, head to Offers → Manage Click on a specific Offer name In the Offer Details view, navigate to the Tracking card → Conversion Tab

If the Offer is set up to use S2S Postbacks as the Conversion Tracking Method, you’ll find the Postback URL here.

Using The Global Postback

The interesting thing about S2S Postbacks is that they’re the same format for any Offer. It’s always the NID and the Transaction ID that at a minimum need to be sent to Everflow via the S2S Postback.

The NID is a constant value that is prefilled, which only leaves the Transaction ID to be populated by the Advertiser when triggering the Postback.

For this reason, you don’t need to go into the Offer Details card to fetch the Postback URL, you can use the Global Postback. To access the Global Postback URL:

In the left sidebar, head to Control Center → Platform Configurations In the General Tab, find the Global Postback card

Here you’ll find the Global Postback URL.

Passing Additional Conversion Information Via S2S Postbacks

The following information, related to Conversions can be passed to Everflow via macros in an Advertiser Postback:

Macro Name Macro Format Usage Amount amount Please use the "amount" parameter to send the sale amount to the Everflow platform. Please note that the amount will be formatted based on the offer currency. For example, "&amount=12,34" will be treated as $12.34. Advertiser Sub IDs adv1, adv2, adv3, adv4, adv5 A Postback can accept up to 5 Advertiser sub ids, which are adv1, adv2, adv3, adv4 and adv5. For instance, use "&adv1=xxxx" to pass any metadata that you'd like to report on in Everflow. Timestamp timestamp Conversion time registered in the Advertiser system formatted as UNIX timestamp. The timestamp can be passed back using the timestamp parameter (i.e &timestamp=1515004406) Currency currency You can include the 3 letter ISO acronym as the currency parameter in the postback. Please see here for details on ISO codes. (i.e &currency=USD)

Examples Of Postback Macros

Sending A Total Sale Amount Associated With The Conversion Event

In the following postback, a total sale amount of $100.24 is associated with the conversion. This will help pass on the information to the Partner if you want, associate Revenue with the conversion, and even base the Payout as a percentage of the Revenue.

Sending A Currency & Some Categorical Metadata

In the following postback, the currency associated with this conversion will be CAD and the Advertiser is sending a custom value of “blackfriday” via adv1. This would help filter reporting conversion associated with specific adv1 values, and it seems the Advertiser is using it to filter around special sale events in the example.
