| ref_custom_id | A unique affiliate id custom parameter as displayed in tracknow system. (Not Mandatory) |

* click_id: It must be forwarded exclusively to the tracknow pixel using the postback endpoint. This identifier encompasses both the affiliate and campaign details.
** ref_id: Instead of click_id, this should be forwarded to credit the affiliate based on their ID as displayed in the tracknow system.
*** skip_lifetime: To record a lifetime assignment of a customer, a lifetime payout is required. If there is no lifetime payout but you still want to assign the customer to an affiliate and record the client, include skip_lifetime=true in the postback URL.
