This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step process for verifying the proper forwarding of the Teads Click ID to ensure accurate campaign tracking and optimization.
Access the Creative Preview
From the Campaign Dashboard, open the creative preview. Ensure your campaign is in either the Active or Pending stage (not in Draft). This is necessary to forward the Click ID during the test.
If your campaign is in Draft, skip to Step 5 for an alternative method.
To access the dashboard, navigate to the TAM Homepage, click the three dots next to your target campaign, and select Dashboard (see Image 1 below).
Open the Creative Preview
Go to the Creatives tab in the Dashboard, hover over the desired creative, and click Preview creative.
Interact with the Creative
Click anywhere on the previewed creative to proceed to the landing page.
Check the Resolved URL
On the landing page, examine the resolved URL in your browser's address bar. At the end of the URL, you should see 'auctid=campaignTag-preview_' followed by a random string of numbers. If this is visible, the Teads Click ID is being forwarded correctly.
Alternative method for Draft campaigns
Go to the Creative Library within your draft campaign.
Click Preview on the desired creative.
Follow steps 3 and 4 above.
Note: When testing a Draft campaign, the resolved URL will display &auctid=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 instead of an actual ID such as &auction_id=campaignTag-preview_f628f2db-832d-4bc5-b122-a3e8d04a23ad.
Using Teads Pixel Helper
Alternatively, expand the Teads Pixel Helper tool.
Under the General Information section, confirm that the Teads Click ID is visible (see Image 2 below).
If the ‘auctid=...’ (Teads Click ID) is not showing in your browser’s address bar, refer to the Teads Click ID not forwarding guide for troubleshooting steps and solutions.
