Challenge

In order to configure your connection to external platforms, you will need to synch certain information between the platforms and ADvendio, in order to use features such as targeting Campaign Items or Audience Segments.

During this process, you might ask yourself:

  • Which of the information is relevant for the integrated platforms like AdServers, DSPs or SSPs?

  • How are the IDs structured in ADvendio?

  • For which features are these required?


Solution

The following lists all ids which will be imported into ADvendio by the synch feature. We show the type of import you can select from ADvendio, which IDs will be synched and what they are used for.

How are IDs stored within ADvendio?

To store this targeting information, ADvendio uses an object called Connection IDs. Connection IDs are reused in many places, for example, to select which part of your inventory you are planning to sell, to select geo, audience or similar targeting criteria or to help with the breakdown of your delivery reports.

 

A Connection ID contains the following information:

  1. Connection ID Name: The name of the Audience / Site / ID this will also be shown to your users when they for example select targeting criteria

  2. Status: The status of this ID within the external system (Note: that we import all IDs regardless if they are marked as active or inactive, to ensure our import will miss no relevant information)

  3. ID / Legacy ID: The ID used when communicating with the external system, is for example relevant to set targeting criteria for Campaign Items. Some of our integrations still use the legacy ID field, but we’re working on replacing this logic

  4. Connection: To which connection does this ID belong

  5. Site: If a feature requires a direct connection to one of your sites, this can be stored here

  6. Technical Name: sometimes, in addition to the user-visible display name, there is also a technical name used for communication with the external system

  7. Parent ID: sometimes the IDs are in a hierarchy (e.g. regions are listed underneath their country ID), this shows the direct parent

  8. Category / Type: Category and type are used to differentiate the kind of IDs and for which features they are relevant

  9. Active: This checkbox can be used to mark an ID as active for ADvendio. If configured in your Administration Settings, your users will only be able to see and select active IDs in the ADvendio features.
