The Advertiser Event Generator lets you manually create conversion events in Aftrad for clicks that haven't generated one yet. This is useful for testing your setup or registering revenue confirmed on the Advertiser side but not sent to Aftrad for any reason.
You'll find it under Advertiser Events → Generations.
Starting a new generation
Click Generate in the top right corner. A 4-step wizard will open.
Step 1 — Generation information
Enter a Generation name (mandatory) and an optional Description to identify this generation in the list.
Click Next.
Step 2 — Find IDs by criteria
Choose how you want to provide the list of click IDs for which events will be generated:
Get IDs from CSV — provide a CSV file with the click IDs yourself
Get IDs from the system — let Aftrad search for eligible click IDs based on filters you define
Option A — Get IDs from CSV
Upload a CSV file by clicking the upload area, or paste the content directly into the text field.
Each line in the CSV follows this format:
click_id,payout,event_type
click_idis mandatory.payoutandevent_typeare optional, but their positions must always be present — use empty values when omitting them.
Combination | Example |
click_id only |
|
click_id + payout |
|
click_id + event_type |
|
click_id + payout + event_type |
|
The two commas after the click_id are required even when payout and event_type are empty, to preserve the column positions.
Aftrad will validate each click ID — verifying it exists in the system and has not yet generated an event — and list the valid ones for you to review in the next step.
Option B — Get IDs from the system
Aftrad will search for click IDs that match the criteria you configure. Only click IDs that have not yet generated an event or conversion will be included — click IDs with an existing event are automatically excluded.
Required criteria
Number of events — how many click IDs to retrieve (up to this maximum)
Start date / End date — the date range to search within, based on when the click was received
Affiliate — the Affiliate whose clicks you want to search
Optional criteria
Country — filter by the country of the click
Carrier — filter by mobile carrier
Platform — filter by device type: CTV, Desktop, Mobile, Other, or Tablet
Requested target type:
Offer — select a specific offer; an Offer dropdown will appear
Smartlink — select a specific smartlink; a Smartlink dropdown will appear, and you can also specify the Offer the traffic was routed to within that smartlink
Click Next. If no click IDs match the criteria, a message will indicate that no results were found.
Step 3 — Edit event parameters
Aftrad displays the list of click IDs found. Each one shows its Click ID, System response (✅ Valid and found), and the current values for Date, Payout, and Event type.
Select individual click IDs using the checkboxes, or select all using the header checkbox
Set global event parameters that apply to all selected click IDs: enter an Event type and Payout value in the parameters table at the top
Set per-click parameters by expanding each row individually and entering different values for that specific click ID
Click Next once you've selected the click IDs and configured the parameters.
Step 4 — Review and approve
A Summary shows all the click IDs that will receive a generated event, with their final Payout and Event type values. Expand any row to see the full click ID details — affiliate, country, offer, platform, and other attributes.
When you're ready, click Generate events.
Generation queued
Since generating events is a background process, a confirmation dialog will appear:
"Generation queued. This process may take a while to generate all the events. If you can't see the events in the report, retry after a delay."
Click Close to dismiss and return to the Generations list.
Click View details to go directly to Advertiser Events → Events, pre-filtered by the Generation ID of this batch, where you can monitor the status of each generated event.
