What is We Can Track and how does it work?
We Can Track is an affiliate data attribution software that links affiliate networks such as MyLead with analytics and advertising platforms. It places SubID parameters (ml_sub) carrying unique click IDs in your affiliate links, then traces every conversion back to its original click. The matched data appears in the We Can Track dashboard and flows into your connected marketing tools.
Each conversion is attributed to dimensions including website, page, campaign, traffic source, device, location and content. That detail turns flat MyLead payouts into reporting you can act on, and the SubID is injected into your affiliate links automatically once the tag is live.
How do you connect MyLead to We Can Track?
MyLead connects to We Can Track through a Postback URL — a server-to-server link that reports each conversion without relying on cookies. We Can Track generates the URL under Data Sources > Affiliate Networks > MyLead, and you place it in the MyLead panel so both systems exchange conversion data in real time.
In We Can Track, open Data Sources > Affiliate Networks > MyLead.
Click Add New Account and give the network account a name.
Click Generate Postback URL and copy it.
In MyLead, go to For Webmasters > Postback and add a new Postback URL.
Set Postback Status to Active, Lead Status to Any, then paste the URL.
The Postback URL carries parameters such as transaction_id, payout and ml_sub1 to ml_sub5, so every lead maps to its source. For background, see Postback/API configuration and how postback works in affiliate marketing.
How do you connect your website to We Can Track?
Your website is the source of the traffic data We Can Track matches against MyLead conversions. The platform registers your exact domain under Data Sources > Websites, where optional Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and Microsoft Ads identifiers route conversions into those platforms. WordPress sites use a plugin; other sites use a JavaScript tag in the header.
Open Data Sources > Websites and click Add New Website.
Paste your exact website domain.
Add your Google Analytics Tracking ID, Facebook Pixel ID and Microsoft Ads Tag ID (optional).
Indicate whether the site runs on WordPress.
Click Save and Integrate.
On WordPress, install the We Can Track plugin (the link appears after saving).
On other sites, place the JavaScript tag in the header.
