What’s Campaign in RedTrack?
Campaign in RedTrack is basically a set of rules and elements that link together a Traffic channel and the Offers that are being promoted. In RedTrack terms Campaign works as the combination of an Offer, Landing page, and a Traffic channel you have set up during previous steps. The main purpose of creating a Campaign in RedTrack is to get the final link you will send the traffic to.

So if you need to track your Campaign with the help of the universal tracking script, you go to Tools-> Scripts->copy the already generated script-> add to it your Campaign’s tracking parameters (from the tab Tracking parameters (UTMS) on the screen above)-> paste it to your Ad account.
