Thanks to ClickFlare's API integration with RevContent, you'll be able to track the cost of your campaigns, content and widgets (publishers) directly from ClickFlare; making their tracking and optimization easier than ever before.
In this article, we'll go over the step-by-step process of setting up the API Cost Integration with RevContent.
What you'll need for the integration:
- An active RevContent Account
- An active CF Account
- RevContent Client ID and Client Secret
When logged into your RevContent account, go to your Account Settings. You should see your Client ID and Client Secret at the bottom of the page under "Stats API Credentials" (as seen in the image below).
Let’s continue now with the integration.
Begin the process by:
- Entering the Settings Menu (gear icon on the upper right corner) inside ClickFlare.
- Go to the Integrations tab.
- In the Cost Tracking Integrations section, click on Add Integration.
- Give your integration a name and select RevContent from the dropdown menu.
- Paste the Client ID and the Client Secret you copied earlier on their respective fields and select Integration Timezone.
Note: The timezone should match the one in your RevContent account. - Choose the Ad Account(s) from which you want costs to be pulled then click Save.
Note: You only need to create one integration per Business Account. In one integration, you can select multiple ad accounts. ClickFlare will then automatically know to which campaigns to associate costs to. - Optional Step - Specify the traffic source configurations you want to assign this ost integration to.
If in this step you do not set which traffic source configurations will use this cost integration, you can alternatively set the cost integration on the traffic source configuration settings.
Important note: Make sure that the traffic source configurations you select in this step belong to the traffic source you created the integration for. Once done, click on Save. - Lastly go to the traffic source configuration settings and add the previously created cost integration under the cost integration settings.
Important Note: When adding a Traffic Source, remember to select the new integration you just added. Failing to do so, will result in costs not being pulled.
Congratulations, you’ve just finalized the cost integration of RevContent in ClickFlare. From now on you’ll be able to see the cost of your campaigns directly from ClickFlare.
