# How can I test the postback URL in S2S Tracking?

## What should I do first? <a href="#what-should-i-do-first" id="what-should-i-do-first"></a>

Before starting, please consider the following prerequisites:

* To test the Postback URL, first, create a goal in the Conversion Tracking section. You can create the goal following the steps in our [documentation.](https://docs.exoclick.com/docs/conversion-tracking/#creating-a-conversion-goal)
* Then, in the campaign you want to track, ensure that the conversion tracking tag with its unique string is added. More information about this step [here](https://docs.exoclick.com/docs/conversion-tracking/#step-1-adding-the-conversions_tracking-token-to-your-campaign-url).

## Step-by-step instructions to replicate a postback URL call <a href="#step-by-step-instructions-to-replicate-a-postback-url-call" id="step-by-step-instructions-to-replicate-a-postback-url-call"></a>

**1- Access the Campaign and Use the Test Variation**

* Go to the campaign where you set up the tracking and select Test Variation next to the desired variation.

* This action simulates what the end-user experiences when they click on the ad, leading to the offer’s URL.

**2- Locate the Conversion Tracking string**

* After clicking Test Variation, you'll be redirected to the landing page.
* Copy the conversion value from the URL or use a redirection tool like Redirect Path to view the URL and obtain the conversion value.

The conversion string typically looks like this:

```

```

**3- Insert the Conversion Value and Goal ID in the Postback URL**

* Replace *GOAL\_ID* with your goal ID and *XXXXXXXXXXX* with your conversion value.

```
http://s.magsrv.com/tag.php?goal=GOAL_ID&tag=XXXXXXXXXXX
```

**4- Test the Postback URL**

* Copy the full Postback URL (with values replaced) and paste it into the search bar of any web browser.
* You will receive a response, indicating if the Postback URL is working.

**5- Check for Successful Conversion**

* If the response shows **OK**, the conversion was successfully recorded. You can verify this by going to your Admin Panel and checking your statistics. It may take a few moments to appear; simply refresh the page to check again.
* Once the conversion appears, your tracking setup is confirmed to work on ExoClick’s side. If you're using additional trackers, check their functionality as well, referring to your tracker’s support team for assistance.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.exoclick.com/advertisers/advertisers-faq/optimisation-and-performance/how-can-test-postback.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
