¶ Create a New Integration
- Navigate to the 'Integrations' section in 24Metrics and click +Create.
- Choose a Name and the Affise icon and proceed.
¶ Configure API Settings
- Enter your Affise API URL and API Key (request to Affise).

- Note: In some rare cases, the first sync may not work. Click again to see the successful confirmation.
¶ Click Screening Configuration
- In the Clicks Tab, select your tracking domain from the dropdown menu.
- Map the
SubID,Device ID,Keywordsparameters to match the ones used in Affise. - Define the handling of approved and rejected clicks, including redirection settings.
Important Note: In order to be able to screen the clicks, you need to also configure the Domain Setup described below in this article.
¶ Approved and Rejected Clicks
Define the handling of Approved and Rejected Clicks, including redirection settings:
- From the dropdown menu, select the option where to Send the Approved Clicks to.
- Select to Block or Redirect the rejected clicks by switching the Block Rejected Clicks selector.
- If you choose to redirect the rejected clicks, select an option from:
- Redirect to Affise Preview URL of the offer, or
- Custom Fallback URL
¶ Conversion Screening
- Enable Conversions Import to allow automatic import of conversions from Affise for screening.
- Optionally, activate Platform Conversion Rejection Syncing.
- Map the conversion parameters by choosing the values so they match the Affise setup as well.
¶ Domain Setup
Set up DNS records (CNAME). This will allow you to route clicks through 24Metrics for screening before reaching the offer. Without the Domain Setup (CNAME), the user's clicks will not be sent to 24Metrics for screening before reaching the offer/landing page.
For Conversion Screening only, this step is not necessary.
Follow the next steps only to implement click screening:
- Navigate to Domain Setup tab in integration settings
- Copy the CNAME and CNAME (SSL) host and value
- Access your Domain Hosting service
- Go to the Control Panel of your domain
- Identify the DNS Records settings section
- Add the Host and Value for both CNAMEs previously copied from 24Metrics
Important Note
Consider that by modifying the DNS Records of the tracking domain, you will experience a short downtime and the offers may show a 404 error.This is only temporary until the server updates the new DNS Records. Depending on the server, the issue can take from 5 to 15 minutes.Once the server is updated, you will start seeing the clicks reflected in 24Metrics reports. Remember to also set the fraud Filters.
By implementing this integration, you can expect increased conversion rates, improved ROI, and enhanced protection against fraudulent activities in your affiliate marketing campaigns.
¶ Whitelist Our IPs
To make sure our platform connects seamlessly with your tracking system, it’s important to whitelist our IP addresses. Whitelisting simply means telling your platform that traffic or requests coming from certain IPs are trusted.
¶ Why whitelisting our IPs?
Our system uses these IP addresses to:
- Run Conversion Imports into your tracking platform
- Send Postback Calls to your server
Since these IPs are static (they never change), once you add them to your whitelist, everything will continue running smoothly.
¶ Our IPs are:
- 159.69.101.220
- 159.69.101.219
- 78.47.166.165
- 88.99.120.240
¶ Whitelisting Benefits
By whitelisting the above IPs, you ensure reliable communication and avoid interruptions in reporting, tracking, or postback delivery.
