FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fill in the 'Tracking Id' field?

The Tracking Id field of the step (tracking_id in the task definition) is not always necessary: it depends on your AliExpress affiliate account.

If your account has a single Tracking ID, you can leave the field empty: AliExpress applies that Tracking ID on its own and the automation works.

If your account has more than one Tracking ID, AliExpress cannot decide which one to use and it refuses to build the short affiliate link. What happens then depends on the step:

Steps that read a product from AliExpress (Get product information, and the searches) publish the affiliate link in its long format instead of stopping. The task keeps working, and the execution log tells you why the link is long.
Steps that do not read a product (Modify the affiliate URLs in a text, API Request) have no long format to fall back on, so they fail with the error TrackingId input parameter error.

You may also want to fill it in even with a single Tracking ID, if you want to keep a task in its own campaign and tell its clicks and commissions apart in your AliExpress reports.

Where to find your Tracking IDs: in the AliExpress affiliate portal, go to the Account section and then to the Tracking ID subsection. All the Tracking IDs of your account are listed there. Copy the one you want to use and paste it into the field. The one AliExpress creates by default is usually called default.

Write one of the Tracking IDs that really exist in your account: a value that does not belong to it has the same effect as an empty field.

Troubleshooting

Common Errors

TrackingId input parameter error

Currently, you have more than one Tracking ID associated with your AliExpress account. To ensure this automation works correctly, you need to edit the task and specify which Tracking ID you want to use in the 'Tracking ID' field.

If you need to check your Tracking IDs before proceeding, you can find them in the AliExpress affiliate portal. Simply go to the 'Account' section and select the 'Tracking ID' subsection. There, you will see all the available Tracking IDs.
