Challenge

Being able to upload creatives to ADvendio while maintaining affordable file storage costs or using custom storage.

Solution

To offer affordable file storage when using Creative Management in ADvendio we offer to connect to your custom AWS storage.

This allows you to seamlessly upload Creatives through your ADvendio interface.

What you can not see is that the system will upload the creative to your AWS and create a public URL to preview the file and download the file again when sending it over to AdServers when starting the submit.

Check the Setup section at the bottom for more information on the configuration of this feature.

If you don’t have the required license you will see the following message when opening the Ad Material Management: “This feature is not part of your current ADvendio license.“

Outlook

During 2024 we are working on he following topics in this regard:

  • supporting custom Google storage

Setup

To enable the External Creative storage please keep in mind that there are certain steps to fulfill in your AWS space. Feel free to submit a support case to request the documentation.

Please follow these steps to complete the steps in ADvendio:

  1. Create a new Connection record with the Record Type “AmazonWebServices“ and fill in your API login data as indicated here: 7.3.1.1 Which Login User do I use to create Login records | External Storage

  2. Make sure that the OAuth access is granted via any connection record: 1.6 How to authenticate/authorize ADvendio Gateway for the use of our Third Party System integrations? Authorize ADvendio message / OAuth .

  3. Go to your Administration settings and select “Custom AWS“ for the field “External Creative Storage“

  4. Create two Trusted URLs via Setup > Trusted URLs, give it a name and add the URLs:

    1. “https://exchange.advendio.com:8080“.

    2. “https://dlj1hzn6prd1v.cloudfront.net“

    3. Enable them for all CSP Directives (see image below) and hit Save.

  5. Update Configuration of Creative Templates: Please make sure that when using Creative Templates, the variable type is set to ‘externalAttachment’. We’re working on including a solution that does this automatically according to the setting in Administration settings.

  6. You are ready to go. Just use your Creative Upload features as usual and notice the small message during upload saying that the upload is running to an External system. Also instead of saving the image file for the Ad Creative, the publicURL will be saved.
