Create a Page Load

Creating a page load does not require authentication, as the request URL is different from other endpoints. Optional parameters are highly recommended, especially when using this endpoint with your mobile app(s).

Parameters


CampaignId required

Unique identifier for your program (or campaign) on impact.com. Viewable in the platform by selecting your account name from the top left corner—your campaign ID is the integer in gray type under Programs section.


PageUrl required

Destination URL that is intercepted by the app.

  • If the app open occurs from an impact.com tracking link, send the full tracking link (e.g., https://mysite.pxf.io/c/1234567/12345/1234?sharedid=abcd)

📘

Tip

When testing clicks and events, be sure to append the ?impacttest=1 parameter to your PageUrl.

  • If the app is opened directly (e.g., not redirected from a URL), do not send any value
  • If the app open occurs from a non-Impact URL, send the actual URL with https: (e.g., https://www.example.com?name=value)
  • If the app open occurs using a custom URI scheme, send the full URI (e.g. app://view?sharedid=abcd)
