What AdBlueMedia sends back when a sale is approved, which field carries your click id, and how UTMCAP joins the two.

Send the click id out with your offer link
AdBlueMedia has not published which field it keeps for you, so check inside your account and use whichever sub field it offers.

Paste the postback into AdBlueMedia
UTMCAP builds this for you on your own tracking domain — the example below uses a placeholder. AdBlueMedia fills in the braces when it calls it.
https://track.example.com/postback?cid={s1}&payout={payout}&lead_id={lead_id}&status={status}
What each field carries
| Field | AdBlueMedia calls it | And fills it with |
|---|---|---|
| Click id | cid | {s1} |
| Payout | payout | {payout} |
| Their conversion id | lead_id | {lead_id} |
| Status | status | {status} |
What their statuses mean here
- approved 1
- chargeback 0
Only approved counts as revenue. Pending and rejected stay separate figures on every report, so your ROI is not built on money you have not been paid.
Worth knowing: In the offer link, replace SUBID1HERE with {utmcap_id} and keep the s1 in front of it: sub5=s1{utmcap_id}. It comes back as {s1}. Set the postback once, under API → Postback — it is global, not per offer. {status} is 1 for a conversion and 0 for a chargeback, so a reversal takes the revenue back off.

Questions
About AdBlueMedia and tracking.
- How do I set up a AdBlueMedia postback?
- Paste the postback URL from your UTMCAP campaign into AdBlueMedia, on your own tracking domain rather than the example one, and send the click id out in the sub field on your offer link. The parameters are filled in for you; the table above shows what each one carries.
- Does UTMCAP already know AdBlueMedia?
- Yes. AdBlueMedia is in the catalogue with its parameters and macros taken from its own documentation, so the postback works without you mapping anything by hand.
- What happens if a conversion arrives days later?
- It still finds its click. The postback carries the click id, so a sale approved a week after the click attaches to that click and is dated when it happened. A status change updates the same conversion rather than adding a second one.
- Do conversions count against my plan?
- Conversions and postbacks are never billable here — only the click the redirect answered. Free for 100,000 clicks a month, then $29 for a million.
