Understanding TUNE & HasOffers Architectures
Many major affiliate networks (like Clickbooth/Perform[cb], W4, and custom private networks) are powered by TUNE (formerly HasOffers) or similar enterprise SaaS tracking platforms.
TUNE platforms use a standard routing architecture. To successfully capture and map conversions, you must pass click variables to TUNE and retrieve them in your postback callbacks.

Step 1: Create a Custom Campaign in PostbackFlow
First, register the campaign in PostbackFlow.
1. Go to the Tracking Links page in your PostbackFlow console.
2. Click + New Campaign.
3. Select Custom / Manual from the templates list.
4. Set the parameters according to TUNE's standard sub-ID variables:
* Click ID Param: aff_sub (TUNE uses aff_sub to store custom affiliate sub-IDs).
* Payout Param: payout (or use a flat default rate).
5. Save the campaign and copy the generated Postback URL:
https://postbackflow.com/postback/YOUR_TOKEN?click_id={aff_sub}&payout={payout}

Step 2: Configure the Postback in your Affiliate Network
1. Log in to the affiliate network portal powered by TUNE.
2. Select your campaign offer and locate the Pixel / Postback settings area.
3. Add a new Server Postback (or URL Postback).
4. Paste your Postback URL, mapping TUNE's native macro tokens:
* Map click ID to TUNE's sub-ID macro: click_id={aff_sub}
* Map payout to TUNE's payout macro: payout={payout}
5. Your final postback string should look like this:
https://postbackflow.com/postback/YOUR_TOKEN?click_id={aff_sub}&payout={payout}
6. Save the settings.

Step 3: Run your Links
When you promote your campaign offer:
1. Google/Facebook click parameters are converted to a unique click ID by PostbackFlow.
2. PostbackFlow appends &aff_sub=CLICK_ID to the network's offer redirect link.
3. When a conversion occurs, TUNE fires the postback callback. It extracts the stored aff_sub value, replacing {aff_sub} with your click ID, and posts it back to PostbackFlow.
4. PostbackFlow processes the event and forwards it to your active advertising network (Meta CAPI, Google Ads, etc.) in real-time.
