Challenge
You’re starting to use the ADvendio Triton Integration. Now you want your Sales Representatives to be able to simply pick Triton products and create the right Media Campaigns and Campaign Items, so they can offer the advertisers the right deal while being able to simply send the data over to Triton and use ADvendio automatic integration capabilities!
How can you set up the right products in ADvendio to be used with Triton and make sure to make this process as smooth and efficient as possible?

Solution
The article will give an overview of Triton and highlight specific parts of Triton. To be able to prepare the Media Campaign you need to create Ad Specs first.
The general Goal is: to create Ad Spec, combine it with the Ad Type created for Triton, assign a price, and assign an Inventory.
Steps to create Triton Media Campaign:
1) Setting Inventory Targeting criteria
IMPORTANT: Please make sure your Triton Connection is set up and that you have imported at least one inventory targeting criteria and also Account data.
Select the inventory and targeting criteria needed when you are on AdButler record and when using the ‘Transfer to ADvendio’ feature.
Steps to do:
1) Select the ‘Connections’ feature in the main menu
2) Select a relevant Connection (we use Connection ASL-125439 as an example)
3) Use the ‘Transfer to ADvendio’ feature in the upper right corner
Link the Ad Spec to a Zone or a Channel for Display Items. Link Ad Spec to VAST Zone or VAST Channel (VAST Channel for Video Items).
In order to link this to a Zone or Channel, you will first need to import Connection IDs via Transfer to AdServer (pressing the 'Transfer to ADvendio’ button).
After ‘Transfer to Advendio’ is done you will see the completed results report:
IMPORTANT: You can only choose one Zone or one Channel for each Ad Specs.
If you do not assign Inventory Targeting on your Ad Spec, you can also select them directly on your Campaign Item, via Inventory Targeting features in the Media Config/Campaign Builder on a Campaign Item level.
You can also skip this step in the beginning, but would need to add this at a later stage, see steps 4.3.4.5 How to configure which inventory to targeting in External Systems
2) Creating Ad Type
You will find detailed guidance on creating and configuring Ad Types for AdButler:
7.3.11.2 How to configure formats for AdButler-related products (Ad Types) in ADvendio
3) Creating Ad Spec and assigning it to Ad Type
Ad Specs represent a product in ADvendio that your users or sales reps will later use for media configuration to select available Ad Specs and Ad Types to create their campaign items. This is the information you need to consider when creating Ad Specs for Triton.
Ways to create Ad Specs:
Generally, there are three ways to create Ad Specs in Advendio:
1) Using the ‘Ad Specs and Rates management’ option (from the App Launcher)
2) Creating Ad Specs Manually
3) Using the ‘Inventory & rates manager' option
One of the ways to create Ad Specs is to access the main menu and create from ‘Ad specs and rates manager’.
When creating Ad Spec from the ‘Ad Specs and Rates management’ menu option:
Connect the Ad Spec to a Site, then Placement, which represents in which media or websites you want your Ad to be displayed. Select Triton created Ad Type.
Press ‘Create/ Open Ad Spec’.
4) Defining Ad pricing
Create an Ad Price for the Ad Spec: This represents which price per unit you want to sell the ad to your customer. Choose from Triton billing categories.
You can use the following Billing Category: CPM.
The Price you’re using in ADvendio will also be sent to Triton which will be using this information to prioritize bookings against each other, in order for those which sell higher will be more likely to deliver.
Setting Inventory Targeting Rules:
No targeting ???
Correcting Inventory Targeting in AdServer:
You can go to the ‘AdServer Information’ section below and correct Inventory Targeting information:
You can edit or correct inventory targeting at this stage in the section under ‘AdServer Information’, you will see 'Default zone” assigned.
Adserver ‘Default Zone’('Default Zone' is just an example data, you will see different data assigned to your project) this information represents where the Ad is to be displayed.
You can assign on a campaign level too, or you can preconfigure Inventory Targeting.
To update Targeting info, please access ‘Edit Adserver ID’ and make the necessary changes.
