Upon receiving the request for the tag from the user's browser, the service issues a 302 redirect to the specified redirect URL (r). This 302 redirect includes the Shareaholic UUID ($u_id). We recommend storing the exact string returned by the Identity Match service in your match table.
Working Example:
For example, you could supply the following redirect URL (r):
https://pixel.shareaholic.com/sync?r=https://example.com/partners_api?partner_uid=$u_idThe service would then redirect to a URL (r) like this:
https://example.com/partners_api?partner_uid=123456789123456789)
