You can configure several custom domains for traffic and events. This will allow you to use different domains for affiliates and advertisers.
Configuring custom domains is not an instant process because it requires admin approval. So, when you need to configure custom domains, please consider doing it at least 24 hours before using them, considering business days. We always recommend contacting your CSM if you need to configure these domains.
Go to Settings >> Network >> DOMAINS
Here you can create as many Traffic and Event domains as you need. To do that:
Click on Create
Fill the form
Domain: put here your domain. Only the domain name, without HTTP or HTTPS. For instance: yourcustomtrafficdomain.com
Type:
Traffic: if you need a custom traffic domain
Event: if you need a custom event domain
Scope type:
Global: this domain will accept traffic from all the Affiliates (if type=Traffic) or from all the Advertisers (if type=Event)
Limited: this domain will only accept traffic from some specific Affiliates (if type=Traffic) or some particular Advertisers (if type=Event)
Affiliates: If type=Traffic and Scope type=Limited, you must configure the affiliates that can use this domain for traffic.
Advertisers: If type=Event and Scope type=Limited, you must configure the advertisers who can use this domain for the postback URL.
Click on the Save button.
At this moment, the domain is created in Pending status so that it will need support from Aftrad's tech and admin support.
Once your domains are ready, you will receive a message from the Aftrad team.
If you own the domain, Aftrad's tech and admin support will provide you with the new NS to update your domain's provider.
How to use custom traffic domains

Exclusive traffic domains: You can configure the exclusive (limited) traffic domains that this affiliate can use here.
Default traffic domain: Select the domain, between the Global and Limited, that you want to use to get the tracking URL for this affiliate.
