You will need to specify which System1 subids you are using to pass traffic source macros back to System1. Because System1 has only 2 subids available (sub_id and sub_id2), while a traffic source might have more than 2 tokens to map, it is not possible to map each traffic source token on a different System1 subid. This is why you need to use a <strong>custom tracking<\/strong>\u00a0configuration for this search feed. With this option, you can pass all traffic source tokens, concatenated with \u201c|\u201d, in a single System1 subid (like in the screenshot below):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2354\" src=\"https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-60x34.png 60w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/theoptimizer.io\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-6.png 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> While the previous step finalizes the connection on TheOptimizer, you still need to update your current and future campaign links with the generated tracking url:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sub_id=__CAMPAIGN_ID__|__AID__|__CID__<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: If you are using a tracker like ClickFlare to track the revenue from System1, and have already connected ClickFlare to TheOptimizer, then you do not need to also connect System1.
