Tracking your campaigns properly is still one of the most important things when it comes to running affiliate campaigns. Your tracking must work perfectly to be able to gather important data that you can use to optimize performance and be able to tell what works and what doesn’t.
When it comes to cloaking, putting your Redtrack campaign link into the cloaker as a destination URL is just not enough, it won’t pass variables through the cloaker and you will not be able to see data like adID, adsetID, campaignID etc. in Redtrack reports.
So here’s a quick and simple guide on how to make it work using Redtrack and NoIP Fraud cloaker.
So basically to get the ad ID, adset ID, campaign ID etc. from facebook into redtrack you need to add the parameters to your final destination URL.

How to Fire Back Conversions from Redtrack to Facebook
To fire back conversions to facebook, all you need to do is connect Redtrack with your facebook ad account via API.

That’s pretty much it, I hope you find it useful.
