1.1.4 Data Synchronization: Connect ADvendio.com with your External Systems: AdServers, SSPs, DSPs

Challenge

Once your data is synchronized, managing and controlling the communication between ADvendio and your AdServer can be a concern.

Solution

To synchronize your inventory database with external systems, you must establish a connection between ADvendio and the system and transfer relevant product data. To create a new Connections login and establish a connection from your ADvendio system to your AdServer, SSP, DSP, or other third-party systems for ADvendio connect features, follow the steps below. At this stage, a connection implies the one-way export of AdServer IDs to your ADvendio system. None of the information stored in your AdServer will be changed, expanded, or removed.

You can terminate any communication between ADvendio and your AdServer by deactivating the Connection login. To do so, go to the Connections login, click edit, and uncheck the Active box.

For detailed information on the AdServers supported by ADvendio, please see section 7.3 Connecting Third-Party Systems
