Below we will describe the step-by-step process for the S2S integration of the Keitaro Tracker and PropellerAds network:
Step #1 - Create your postback URL
Choose Keitaro. Your PropellerAds postback URL is created automatically. Copy it from your PropellerAds dashboard.
Step #2 - Add Propeller Ads as your traffic source on Keitaro
Log in to your Keitaro account, click the Sources button, and then click the 'Create' button.
Click the Template name button and start typing PropellerAds. The system will find out the source automatically.
The postback URL will be generated automatically. Please check if the postback is displayed correctly. The IDs of parameters "aid", "pid" and "tid" should match the IDs of the same parameters in the Tracking section of your PropellerAds advertiser’s account. You need to insert your actual "aid" & "tid", otherwise your conversions will not be tracked correctly. Postback URL should end with visitor_id={external_id}.
After that, review tracked variables and click the "Create" button.
Step #3 - Generate the postback URL on Keitaro
To be notified about conversions from an affiliate network, you need to generate the Postback URL on Keitaro containing the "CLICK ID" and add it to the affiliate network's panel.
Please refer to the Keitaro Knowledge Database to find out how to add affiliate networks and offers and generate the postback URLs.
Once you get your Keitaro Postback URL, paste it to your affiliate network panel to pass data about conversions from the affiliate network to Keitaro.
If you are having any problems, please feel free to contact your affiliate network support.
To initiate a campaign, you have to create an Offer and Landing accordingly. Please refer to the manuals below for more information about the installation process.
Step #4 - Set up the Campaign on Keitaro
Click the Campaigns Tab and select Create Campaign.
Name your campaign, select "PropellerAds" as the Traffic Source, fill out all other mandatory fields, and click the "Create" button.
Once the basics of your campaign are saved, Keitaro will create a globally unique campaign tracking URL to which you need to direct traffic.
Step #5 - Set up the Campaign on Propeller Ads
Login to your PropellerAds account and click on the "Create Campaign" button on the top right corner
Copy the Campaign URL with all parameters from Keitaro campaign settings and paste it as the Target URL for your campaign on PropellerAds.
Copy the Campaign URL with all parameters from Keitaro campaign settings and paste it as the Target URL for your campaign on PropellerAds. It should contain external_id=${SUBID} for tracking conversions.
Step #6 - Check your conversion tracking settings (optional but recommended)
Once you've set up your conversion tracking path, you may check if your settings are correct.
Click the Tracking tab in your PropellerAds account, and choose the Test conversion section.

Once a test banner appears, click it to follow your conversion funnel and make a test conversion).
