The Affiliate attributions report lists every conversion Aftrad attributed to your affiliates, with the payout and the exact postback sent to each affiliate. Use it to answer an affiliate's question about a conversion or to debug their postbacks.

Go to Tools → Affiliate attributions.


Find an attribution

Click Filter to narrow the list. You can filter by:

  • Dates (by default, Last 7 days)

  • Affiliate and Affiliate Click ID

  • Requested offer, Requested advertiser and Requested smartlink

  • Returned offer and Returned advertiser

  • Country

Use Reset to clear the filters, Refresh to load the latest attributions and Export CSV to download the list.

💡 Tip: when an affiliate asks about one conversion, filter by their Affiliate Click ID.

Affiliate postback URL

Add the Affiliate postback URL column to see the postback Aftrad sent to the affiliate for each conversion, with every macro replaced by its real value. It's the quickest way to check that the affiliate received the right click ID and payout.

  • The URL is shortened (start…end). Click the copy icon to copy the full URL.

  • It's shown with a space after https (https ://…) so it can't be opened by accident: opening it would send the postback again.

  • A dash (-) means no postback was sent, for example because the affiliate has no postback set up.

Note: Advertiser Events has the same column for the postbacks your advertisers send to Aftrad (Advertiser postback URL).


Attribution details

Click the details icon in Actions to open one attribution:

  • Affiliate postback URL — the full postback sent to the affiliate, at the top.

  • Advertiser events in this affiliate attribution — the advertiser event that triggered it.

  • Identification — affiliate click ID and source, affiliate, requested and returned offer and advertiser, smartlink.

  • Targeting — country, carrier, platform, operating system, browser, language and more.

  • Details — technical data such as app IDs, device IDs and rejected-event details.

  • Event log — each step of the attribution, with its time, including every attempt to send the postback. Couldn't notify publisher means the affiliate's server didn't accept it. Click Export CSV to download the log.
