Traffic Stars and BlackFox are ready to track using Kintura.

Below we'll outline how to track conversions of BlackFox offers with traffic from Traffic Stars using Kintura. Please note that our session token {cid} is unique to Kintura. If you need help with another tracker let us know!

  1. Traffic Stars

    Traffic Source Campaign URL

    If you intend on sending traffic source postbacks, get the External ID using extid={click_id}. Auto Cost Tracking can be set using cost={cost}.

    Recommended tokens (those that can be optimized) are as follows: 

    https://yourtrackingurl?campid={campaign_id}&siteid={site_id}&spotid={spot_id}&keywrds={keywords}&creat={creative_id}

  2. BlackFox

    Affiliate Network Offer URL

    BlackFox wants us to pass our Kintura {cid} to their offers using this query-string format: 

    https://yourofferurl?aff_click_id={cid}&aff_sub={traffic_source.id}
  3. BlackFox

    Affiliate Network Postback

    We're going to tell BlackFox to send our conversion postbacks to: 

    http://track.kintura.io/conversion?cid={aff_click_id}&txid={transaction_id}&payout={payout}
  4. Traffic Stars

    Traffic Source Postback

    If you want to let Traffic Stars know about your conversions, be sure to enable server to server traffic source postbacks with their external id (passed in the first step as {click_id}) which will now be place in Kintura's {externalid} traffic source postback token: 

    http://tsyndicate.com/api/v1/cpa/action/{externalid}?value={payout}&lead_code={txid}&key=REQUIRED
