Setting up the tracker, postback, macros

Postback when collecting push subscriptions​

When collecting push subscriptions, you can pass the clickid from your tracker to Pushflow, and after a successful subscription, get it back via a callback from Pushflow. You can also send additional tokens(t1, t2, t3, t4, t5 ) that you can get back when you send push notifications to users later.

How it works:​

1. Pass tokens with a push subscription​

To pass tokens, they must be in the url of the page where the push subscription is taking place. Our push subscription script will automatically get available tokens from the URL (clickid, t1, t2, t3, t4, t5) and pass them with a successful subscription to our database. For example, if you want to pass clickid, t1, t2 the URL might look like this: https://script-domain.com/index.php?clickid=8280816987&t1=propellers&t2=dating

2. Set up a postback URL on Pushflow​

To get tokens back, add a postback URL on Pushflow:

  • You can add a callback on the feed page and it will only apply to that feed.
  • Or you can add a global postback in Pushflow profile settings. It will apply to all feeds that don't have a postback URL.

Macros when sending notifications​

During creative creation, you can add additional macros to a link that pass values that you passed along with the push subscription and a few macros from the Pushflow:

  • {externalId} — Click ID in Pushflow
  • {campaignId} — Campaign ID in Pushflow
  • {creativeId} — Creative ID in Pushflow
  • {feedId} — Feed ID in Pushflow
  • {subscriptionId} — Subscription ID in Pushflow
  • {days} — Number of days since the subscription occurred
  • {clickid} — clickid token received from the subscription page
  • {t1} — t1 token received from the subscription page
  • {t2} — t2 token received from the subscription page
  • {t3} — t3 token received from the subscription page
  • {t4} — t4 token received from the subscription page
  • {t5} — t5 token received from the subscription page
  • {title} - the title of the creative
  • {body} - the main text of the creative
  • {previewImgName} - the file name of the icon image
  • {bodyImgName} - the file name of the main image
  • {uid} — public subscription id, which is passed to the sdk after a successful subscription request
