Conversion Tracking

Tracking conversions using the Everflow SDK

Conversions can also be tracked using the Everflow SDK using the following code :

EF.conversion({
  offer_id: 1, // The offer id. Required if aid is not provided
  aid: 2, // The advertiser id. Required if offer_id is not provided
  transaction_id: '', // Optional. The Everflow unique transaction id
})

While the transaction_id is optional, providing it is always more reliable if you have access to it. When the value is missing, the SDK tries to locate it using :

First Party Cookie
Third Party Cookie (on the tracking domain)

Additional options may be used on the EF.conversion method :

EF.conversion({
  offer_id: 1, // The offer id. Required if aid is not provided
  aid: 2, // The advertiser id. Required if offer_id is not provided
  transaction_id: '', // Optional. The Everflow unique transaction id

  amount: 0, // Optional. Sale Amount -- relevant for RPS offers

  event_id: 0, // Optional. The event id
  coupon_code: '', // Optional. Coupon code

  adv_event_id: 0, // Optional. If you use global advertiser events

  order_id: '', // Optional
  user_id: '', // Optional. User tracking

  verification_token: '', // Required if the advertiser is configured to use verification tokens
  email: '', // Optional

  // Optional. Adv placement values.
  adv1: '',
  adv2: '',
  adv3: '',
  adv4: '',
  adv5: '',
})

Custom Parameters

It’s also possible to add free form parameters to the conversion. This is effectively equivalent to adding additional query string parameters when using server postbacks.

EF.conversion({
  offer_id: 1, // The offer id. Required if aid is not provided
  aid: 2, // The advertiser id. Required if offer_id is not provided
  transaction_id: 'af189e77650e4e908af797b61b03ac0b', // Optional. The Everflow unique transaction id
  amount: 19.99, // Optional. Sale Amount -- relevant for RPS offers
  event_id: 23, // Optional. The event id

  //Optional. Free form parameters to be appended to the conversion URL
  parameters: {
    "param1" : "customValue1",
    "param2" : "customValue2" 
  }
})

Advanced Use

Fetching The Transaction ID / Conversion ID

The EF.conversion method returns a Promise which, when resolved, will give you an object that contains both the transaction ID and the conversion ID related to the conversion that was just generated.

EF.conversion({
  offer_id: 1, 
  aid: 2, 
  amount: 9.99, 
  event_id: 11,
})
.then((conversion) => {
  console.log(conversion.conversion_id);
  console.log(conversion.transaction_id)
});
