Extracting a Image Link

Varying slightly from extracting a tracking link, if you have uploaded banners and wish to extract the image link, you will need to follow the below steps;

1. Create/Edit Media Item
2. Click View code below the banner you have selected.
   
   
    
3. Extract the associated codes from there, depending on your needs.
   
   
    
4. Should you wish to use the campaign and tracker as a text link, you can continue to use the Copy Icon as per flow above.

Relative Path Functionality

This allows users to add relative URLs to an existing tracker. This is useful for adjusting the channel of the link, such specific sport pages without needing to create a new tracker.

This is not the same as common &redirectURL additions, which allows any URL to be used and redirected but instead allows subpages of the existing domain.

Example:

https://EXAMPLE.servclick1move.com/?mid=12345_1395807&relativepath=ar/game/plinko-v2

In the above example, the original campaign of Homepage AR will instead go to Plinko game on the brand.

In addition to creating marketing sources on the fly via Media item creation. You may also manage your marketing sources in this section. You can easily edit, create and delete any marketing source tag for your trackers.
