Connecting Custom network to Strackr takes just a few minutes, and lets you to collect your transactions into one unified dashboard. You can connect your cashback application to our API to retrieve transactions.
If there is a network without an API or file export, or if you want to add for example bonuses, the custom network connection will allow you to easily add transactions with a shared Google Sheets.
Before explaining the process of importing data using Google Sheets, it is important to consider the following information:
All column headings should be on the first row (at cell A1) and in lowercase, here is the list of columns:
Each row will need the columns sold, revenue and status otherwise the row will be ignored during the import.
If you have not added a transaction id, we will fill in a random id after the import, if you delete it or change it, during the next import a new transaction will be created.
Once the Google Sheets is ready, you can create the connection, find the Custom network Google Sheets connection and click on Connect.
Fill in the name of the connection and an advertiser name, you will find this name in reports and in the advertiser list. If in the future you need to modify the name, edit the connection and change the name. Select the country and the currency.
