# Tracking Setup with PopAds

This guide explains how to set up tracking between FunnelFlux Pro and **PopAds**.

## Step 1: Add PopAds as a Traffic Source
1. Go to **Traffic Sources** > **New**
2. Search for "PopAds" in the template list
3. Select the **PopAds** template

The template configures the following tracking fields:

| Slot | Field Name | Token |
|------|------------|-------|
| campaign | campaign | `[CAMPAIGNID]` |
| external | external | `[IMPRESSIONID]` |
| c1 | site_id | `[WEBSITEID]` |
| c2 | category | `[CATEGORYNAME]` |
| c3 | category_id | `[CATEGORYID]` |
| c4 | formfactor | `[FORMFACTORNAME]` |
| c5 | quality_score | `[QUALITY]` |

**Cost token:** `[BID]` (Cost Per Event/Click)

## Step 2: Create Your Campaign URL
After creating the traffic source:
1. Build a funnel in the **Funnel Builder**
2. Click the traffic node and select **PopAds** as the traffic source
3. Copy the generated tracking link

Use this tracking link as the destination/campaign URL in PopAds. The URL includes all tracking field parameters, so PopAds will automatically replace the tokens with real values when a user clicks your ad.

## Step 3: Set Up Conversion Tracking
PopAds uses a **postback URL** for conversion tracking. The template pre-configures this in the **Conversion Tracking** tab.

The postback URL is:
```
https://serve.popads.net/cpixel.php?s2s=1&aid=REPLACE_ME&id={external}&value={payout}
```
Replace `REPLACE_ME` with your PopAds-specific account or campaign ID.

Copy this URL and paste it into PopAds's postback or conversion tracking settings.

In this URL:
- `{external}` is a FunnelFlux token replaced with the stored click ID from PopAds
- `{payout}` is replaced with the conversion revenue amount

When a conversion happens in FunnelFlux, it fires this postback to notify PopAds of the conversion.

## Optional: Updating Costs
If cost tokens are not available or not accurate for your campaign type, you can manually update costs in FunnelFlux:
1. Go to **Update Costs** in FunnelFlux
2. Export your cost data from PopAds
3. Match the data by campaign ID and any relevant tracking fields
4. Import the cost data
