  1. Navigate to your Account Settings
    ℹ️ To access your account settings, you need to be on the "All Campaigns" view

  2. Enable Auto-Tag if it's not enabled yet

  3. Paste the tracking template

The recommended tracking template can be found under your Ads Integration tab in the pixel settings of your AnyTrack account.

The tracking template is where you add URL tracking parameters to your ads. You can use URL parameters to customize your final URL. The information is used to create your landing page URL when an ad is clicked.

For example:

  • your final ad URL is https://anytrack.io
  • You are targeting the keyword "Conversion Tracking Platform"
  • Your add the URL tracking parameters: {lpurl}?url={lpurl}&utm_term={keyword}

At Run time, the URL will become:

https://anytrack.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fanytrack.io&utm_term=Conversion%20Tracking%20Platform

 

Congratulations! 🎉

From now on, conversions triggered in AnyTrack will be automatically sent to Google Analytics and synced with Google Ads.
