Keep the caller's own number

This is our requirement: the call must reach our number with the caller's own number as the caller ID. We tell calls apart by that number, so your own number, or a hidden one, won't work.

Not confirmed for Retreaver. Where this goes in Retreaver's screens isn't documented. What its documentation does say is below; confirm the screen with Retreaver.

Count the call after the buffer

This campaign pays on the buffer: a call counts once it lasts long enough. On the target that dials our number, set the minimum call duration to the seconds below. No postback is needed: the call's length is the conversion.

Test my setup

A number has no ping to test. Make one real test call:

Tell your buyer when you're ready, so they can watch the first call arrive.
Send one real call through Retreaver to our number.
Check the call in your portal's call log. When it pays, check the conversion reached your platform.
