I Can't Sign In

SymptomFix
Magic link never arrivesCheck your spam/junk folder. Try again. Links expire after 15 minutes.
Magic link says "expired"Request a new one. They're only valid for 15 minutes.
Google sign-in failsMake sure you're using the same Google account email you signed up with.
"No account found"Head to platform.cleanclicks.io/signup and create your account — signup takes about a minute. If you thought you already had an account, double-check the email address: magic link and Google sign-in reach the same account only when the email matches.

My Domain Is Stuck on "Pending Verification"

Your CNAME record isn't resolving yet. See DNS Problems for a detailed walkthrough.

Quick checks:

  • Did you add a CNAME record (not an A record or TXT)?
  • Is the name cleanclicks (not the full cleanclicks.yourdomain.com unless your provider requires it)?
  • If using Cloudflare, is the record set to DNS Only (gray cloud)?
  • Have you waited at least 5 minutes for propagation?

The Tag Isn't Detected

CleanClicks can't find the script on your website. See Tag Not Detected.

Quick checks:

  • Is your domain Active (DNS verified)?
  • Is the script tag in your page's <head> section?
  • Does the script URL match cleanclicks.yourdomain.com (your actual domain)?
  • Can you see cc.js loading in browser DevTools > Network tab?

Conversions Aren't Appearing

Events fire but nothing shows up in your ad platforms. See Conversions Not Appearing.

Quick checks:

  • Is at least one trigger configured in Configuration > Triggers?
  • Is at least one platform connected and enabled?
  • Are platform credentials valid (check Connections page)?
  • Have you waited 15-30 minutes? Ad platforms aren't instant.

The Dashboard Shows No Data

If your dashboard is empty after setup:

  1. Verify your domain is Active
  2. Verify the tag is loading (check browser DevTools)
  3. Visit your own website and trigger a test event
  4. Wait a few minutes and refresh the dashboard
  5. If still empty, check that you have at least one trigger configured

Traffic Analytics Shows Nothing

  • Traffic Analytics is only available on Signal+ plans
  • Data starts accumulating after the tag is installed and traffic flows through
  • Allow at least 24 hours of traffic for meaningful analytics data
  • If you just enabled the tag today, check back tomorrow
