CJ Affiliate
CJ Affiliate is configured as an attribution-only integration in OneView. OneView tracks CJ Affiliate touchpoints for attribution and includes them in merit-based routing decisions, but does not send conversion data back to CJ Affiliate's API.
No conversion data is sent back to CJ Affiliate. If you need conversion data sent to CJ Affiliate for campaign optimization, use CJ Affiliate's native tracking or request a full Conversion API integration.

Merit-Based Routing

When CJ Affiliate touchpoints overlap with Conversion API platforms (like Google Ads or Meta), merit-based routing determines which platform receives the conversion based on your attribution model and conversion merit. If CJ Affiliate wins attribution, the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere.

Setup

Configure UTM parameters in your CJ Affiliate campaigns with utm_source identifying the platform. OneView automatically captures UTM parameters from all traffic sources—no additional configuration needed.
When overlapping conversions occur, merit-based routing evaluates all touchpoints, including attribution-only platforms:
  1. OneView collects touchpoints from all sources (CJ Affiliate via UTM, Conversion API platforms via click identifiers)
  2. Your attribution model determines which touchpoint gets credit
  3. If the winner is a Conversion API platform (e.g., Google Ads, Meta), OneView sends the conversion to that platform's API
  4. If the winner is attribution-only (e.g., CJ Affiliate), the conversion is recorded in OneView but not sent anywhere
  5. CJ Affiliate remains visible in reports showing it was part of the customer journey
