(Unused) Pre-Integration Checklist

Suggest Edits

Before the integration can be implemented, gather the following information:

  • All URLs that point to your production environment site where the tracking integration will be implemented.

  • The top-level URL that's permitted for deep linking to your site (e.g., example.com would allow deeplinking to any subdomain of the site).

  • Confirm that impact.com can append query string parameters (e.g., https://www.example.com/store?irclickid={clickid}) to all landing page URLs of your site — these cannot be stripped by your site.

Step 3: General Tracking configuration

Site Definition

Confirm that your website domain(s) are configured as site definitions, which enables our tracking solution to forward traffic from our domains to yours.

  1. From the left navigation bar, select [Vertical Ellipsis] → Settings.
  2. In the right column, go to the Tracking section and select General.
  3. Next to the Site Definition line item, confirm that the domains that you want to track are specified as a comma-separated list (no spaces, without the http(s):// prefix). For example, a value of example.com would track everything on any top-level (e.g., example.com/store) and sub-domains (e.g., store.example.com).
  4. If you’ve made any changes, select Save; otherwise select Cancel.
