I. Setting Up Integration
- In Voluum, go to the AUTOMIZER module.
- Go to the Traffic sources tab.
-
Click the Add traffic source button.
-
Click the Add integration link under the Pushground traffic source.
- Provide the API key in the API token text field.
- (Optional) Decide if you want to see cost estimations for periods between data synchronization. The estimations are based on the last 24 hours data set. When the cost is synchronized, estimated costs will be replaced with actual ones.
- (Optional) Decide if you want to have your campaigns automatically matched. If you turn this off, you will have to use Integration Manager to manually match campaigns.
-
Click the Add integration button.
Voluum Note: With the full API traffic source integrations, the cost information passed via the integration will OVERRIDE any cost value set in a campaign setup in Voluum. Analogically, if you have turned on cost estimations, they will also override cost settings set in a campaign form. Without cost estimations, values passed in a cost token will be used between cost updates. When an update occurs, it will replace values passed in a token.
