MyLead postback setup
What MyLead sends back when a sale is approved, which field carries your click id, and how UTMCAP joins the two.
- 01
Send the click id out with your offer link
MyLead carries it in
ml_sub1. Put the token on the offer URL and every conversion can be traced back to the click that paid for it.https://their-offer.com/?ml_sub1={utmcap_id} - 02
Paste the postback into MyLead
UTMCAP builds this for you on your own tracking domain — the example below uses a placeholder. MyLead fills in the braces when it calls it.
https://track.example.com/postback?cid=[ml_sub1]&payout=[payout_decimal]&status=[status]&transaction_id=[transaction_id]
What each field carries
| Field | MyLead calls it | And fills it with |
|---|---|---|
| Click id | cid | [ml_sub1] |
| Payout | payout | [payout_decimal] |
| Status | status | [status] |
| Their conversion id | transaction_id | [transaction_id] |
Worth knowing: ml_sub1 carries the click id and ml_sub2 the affiliate id — that is MyLead’s own split, and swapping them silently attributes every lead to the wrong place. Configured under For Webmasters / Postback.
Taken from MyLead's own documentation — source. We do not cite other trackers’ help pages, because a rival’s integration note says what their template does, which is not the same as what MyLead sends.
Questions
About MyLead and tracking.
- How do I set up a MyLead postback?
- Paste the postback URL from your UTMCAP campaign into MyLead, on your own tracking domain rather than the example one, and send the click id out in the ml_sub1 field on your offer link. The parameters are filled in for you; the table above shows what each one carries.
- Does UTMCAP already know MyLead?
- Yes. MyLead 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.
