Piggybacks

Piggyback functionality in Epom Ad Server allows using third party services to track conversions.

1. Publisher or Advertiser in your network provides you with a pixel tag or a pixel URL from the third party network.
2. You insert that tag or URL to the Piggyback Settings pane.
3. Whenever the conversion is counted towards Epom Analytics, the Piggyback Pixel is fired.

To start using the Advertisers' Piggybacks in your network:

1. Log into your network account and go to the Advertisers tab.
2. Select the existing Advertiser > Campaign or add the new ones.
3. Activate the Piggybacks pane from the right side menu.
4. Click . The Piggyback window appears:

• Select the Piggyback type depending on the tracking method: Piggyback Beacon for Pixel Tracking; Piggyback URL for S2S methods.
• Choose the Action which will trigger the Piggyback from the corresponding list. With this field left empty, all the Actions will fire the Piggyback.
• Paste the Piggyback Beacon (JS-only) or Piggyback URL.
5. Click Save. The corresponding entry will appear in the Piggybacks pane.

From now on, every time the Action takes place, the Piggyback will be fired.
