Passing click_id to a Landing Page
Each time someone clicks on an affiliate's tracking URL, that click is logged by our system. Click records hold information like:
The affiliate whose link was clicked
The campaign that the link is associated with
Basic metadata about the client (IP address and user agent)
Every click record has a click ID. This parameter is essential for ensuring reliable tracking.
When a client clicks an affiliate link, they are redirected to your chosen landing page. You can enable passing the client’s click_id in the URL so that when they complete a purchase or another tracked action, this click_id is sent along with the purchase details to your Tracknow dashboard. This allows the system to accurately attribute the purchase to the correct affiliate.
Think of it like a client visiting a store after being recommended by an affiliate. When they walk in, they are wearing a sticker with the affiliate’s name. When the client makes a purchase, the seller checks the sticker to see which affiliate referred them and credits that affiliate accordingly.
Set Up
Navigate to Campaigns → Locate the relevant campaign → click the three-dot icon under the Actions column → Edit → Tracking tab → Add the click_id parameter key and macro to the Default Landing Page URL and to the Deep Link Passed Parameters field
Now, each time a client clicks an affiliate link, he will be directed to your landing page with his click_id in the URL
