Written by David Rolenc
Updated over a week ago

The Affiliate Postback Tracking Log contains information about postbacks sent from Trackdesk to affiliate tracking platforms.

The log helps verify whether postbacks were sent correctly and assists with troubleshooting integration issues.

Information Available in the Log

Each log record contains the following information:

Field

Description

Date

The time when the postback was triggered

Status

Indicates whether the postback was successful, retrying, or failed

Conversion ID

Identifier of the conversion

Affiliate ID

Affiliate ID associated with the conversion

Offer

Offer related to the conversion

Conversion type

Type of conversion event

Conversion status

Status of the conversion

The status is the most important field because it indicates whether the postback was successfully delivered.

Viewing Postback Details

You can view detailed information about each postback request.

To open the details:

  1. Navigate to the Affiliate Postback Tracking Log.

  2. Click a row in the log table.

This opens a side modal containing detailed information about the postback.

The detail view includes information such as:

  • the time when the postback was created

  • the conversion status and type

  • the offer associated with the conversion

  • the affiliate ID

Attempts

The detail view also contains an Attempts section.

This section shows individual attempts to send the postback.

For each attempt, the following information is displayed:

Field

Description

Created at

Time when the attempt was made

Method

HTTP method used for the request

URL

Full postback URL that was sent

Status

HTTP response status code

Response

Response returned by the receiving server

Retry Behavior

If a postback request is rejected, Trackdesk automatically retries sending it.

A postback can be retried up to 7 times until it is either accepted or marked as failed.

Status of Sent Postbacks

The Status field indicates the overall result of the postback delivery.

Success Status

The Success status indicates that the postback was successfully accepted by the receiving server.

This may occur on the first attempt or after several retries.

Retrying Status

The Retrying status indicates that the previous attempt failed but the system has not yet exhausted all retry attempts.

Trackdesk will continue retrying until the request succeeds or the retry limit is reached.

Error Status

The Error status indicates that all retry attempts failed.

In this case, the postback was not accepted by the receiving server.

You should review the postback URL, parameters, and server response to identify the cause of the failure.
