Challenge

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

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 send 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:

  • Submitting the file to delivery systems during submit instead of the external URL.

  • supporting custom Google storage

Setup

To enable the External Creative storage please keep in mind that this feature requires an extra license. Contact your Sales Rep for more information.

After getting the license please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the OAuth access is granted via any connection record: https://advendio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SO/pages/2861105153 .

  2. Go to Setup > App Launcher > Feature Settings and create a new Feature Setting record with:

    1. Feature Setting Name: EnableExternalUpload

    2. Feature Name: CreativeUpload

      This setting is subject to change.

  3. Create a Trusted URL via Setup > Trusted URLs, give it a name and add the URL “https://exchange.advendio.com:8080“. Enable it for all CSP Directives (see image below) and hit Save.

  4. Go to the Ad Creative Templates which you would like to use and change the Ad Creative Variables responsible for the creative to the type “attachmentURL“.
    This setting is subject to change.

  5. 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.
