Welcome to our guide on setting up a NewsBreak Postback through Cake. Follow these instructions to successfully integrate:
1. Log into the Cake Platform and click "Offers" on the left-hand side.
2. Select the Offer you are running on NewsBreak and go to the Creatives Tab. Click ‘Get Link.’
➡️This opens a Custom Link Dialog Box (as shown below):
3. Add the Newsbreak click macro ‘__CALLBACK_PARAM__’ in the SUB ID 2 Field.
*Please note that Cake only allows SUB ID 2 for the click macro, using it elsewhere will cause it not to record these clicks.
🔗The Offer URL should now look something like this:
https://megatrk.cakemarketing.com/?a=19&c=32&s1=&s2=__CALLBACK_PARAM__
4. Now head to the ‘Testing & Tracking’ tab.
Here you can set the Postback URL for NewsBreak.
5. Copy the Postback URL from NewsBreak:
https://business.newsbreak.com/tracking/attribute?callback=xxx&event_type=submit_form
And replace the callback=xxx with the correct event type.
🔗The URL should now look something like this, where “s2” is the parameter for the click macro:
https://business.newsbreak.com/tracking/attribute?callback=#s2#&event_type=submit_form
[Now you are all done with the Cake side of things! Switch over to your NewsBreak ad account to test your conversion flow end-to-end.]
6. Head to Event Management and input the Offer URL from Step 3 and hit ‘Go Test.'
Once you are redirected to the Offer landing page, you can complete the conversion action and this should fire a Postback from Cake to us and pass the test.
