How is this different from Postback Tester?
The validator checks template structure and macro hygiene. Postback Tester sends the callback and shows the live response.
Postback Template Validator
Validate postback templates, catch unknown macros, and spot missing callback fields before launch.
What does this tool do?
Postback Template Validator checks whether a callback template is structurally reusable before you fire test traffic. It flags missing click ID or payout fields, conflicting aliases such as clickid vs subid, blank values, and macros that do not match the selected tracker or API profile.
Why use this tool?
Catch broken templates early
See missing status, payout, or event fields before a partner ever sends a real callback.
Reduce tracker confusion
Highlight alias conflicts like clickid, cid, or subid so the team agrees on one canonical field.
Separate lint from delivery
Use the validator for template QA first, then move to Postback Tester only after the structure is clean.
FAQ
Postback Template Validator FAQ
Lint callback templates before you send them anywhere.
What counts as a conflict?
The tool warns when one template mixes multiple aliases for the same concept, such as clickid plus subid, because those setups often break downstream mapping.
Does it require network access?
No. The validator is rule-based and works on the template string itself, so you can lint drafts before anything goes live.

How to test a postback before launch
Run a pre-launch callback QA routine so trackers, affiliate networks, and partners agree before paid traffic starts.
Open knowledge base articleHow to compare a postback template vs a live request
Diff the callback you expected against the callback that actually fired so macro, encoding, and partner-side mismatches stop hiding inside 200 responses.

Postback Not Working
Networks show zero conversions because callbacks never trigger, fail validation, or stop before partner logs can credit the event.
Open fix guidePostback Macro Not Replaced
Callbacks arrive but contain literal {clickid} or {payout} strings because the template never swapped values.
