1. Inform your DoubleClick Account Manager that you want to  setup the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Conversion API integration with Delacon.

4. Delacon Required Steps

5. Inform Delacon of Completed  Setup 

6. Customer Support

1. Authorise Delacon to send data to your DoubleClick  Campaign Manager account

To  start, contact your DoubleClick Account Manager at Google to inform them you wish to enable the Delacon + DoubleClick integration, this may require your formal written authorisation as per below template

------------------------

You should then receive an email confirmation from your DoubleClick Account Manager asking for confirmation to allow Delacon to send data into your account.  

At this point in time, you should also email support@delaconcorp.comand your Delacon Account Manager to enable the DCM integration. 

2. Grant Delacon user access to post offline conversions to  your account

This step will grant Delacon access to onboard offline conversion data into your  DoubleClick Campaign Manager account. Permissions will be used to limit  Delacon’s ability to only insert conversions via the API.  

2.a Create a new user role: Admin  >> User roles >> New

• User role name: Delacon Offline Conversions
• Source user role:  Advertiser/Reporting Login
• Save

2.b Create a new  user profile: Admin >> User profiles >> New

• Email: dcm@delaconcorp.com
• Profile name: Delacon_[Advertiser]
• User role: Delacon Offline Conversions

1. Under Trafficking, enable the following options:

• Floodlight: full access
• User profiles: read-only access

2. Under Reporting, please select All.

3. Save

3. Set up your conversion label mapping and share that with Delacon

Floodlight activities are used in DoubleClick to group conversions by products, product groups, customer types, conversion channels or any other meaningful structure. This enables DoubleClick Campaign Manager reporting to filter advertising campaign conversions.

If your offline conversions  goal is to track how your customer interacts with your call center, progresses  through an IVR and corresponding sales & leads, your mapping may look like:

Note: If you must upload the same conversion into both this Conversions API and the DoubleClick Search API, you should define two different floodlight activities  -- one to be populated by the DoubleClick Search API, and one populated by the  DoubleClick Conversions API. 

3.a Creating the Floodlight activities and custom variables in DoubleClick Campaign  Manager

Create new Floodlight activities (conversion tags) for Delacon to push data to  DoubleClick. Please note the below ‘activity’ is an example, advertisers can create any name for labels and send to Delacon. See the suggested naming convention below. For each action that you would like to track, you should create a new Floodlight Activity; more specifically, there should be a one-to-one relationship between each IVR option or signal during a call and the  DoubleClick Floodlight activity. 

There are no restrictions on the minimum/maximum quantity of conversion labels.

1. Advertiser settings >> Floodlight activity groups >> New: “Delacon”

2. Advertiser settings >> Floodlight activities >> +New : “[Insert Name of Floodlight Activity from 3. Above]”*

3.b Creating the Floodlight Custom Floodlight Variables in DoubleClick Campaign Manager

Custom Floodlight variables enable you to capture additional valuable information beyond just a phone call conversion that you collect with standard parameters via the Floodlight tag.

Custom variables use the (case sensitive) keys u1, u2 etc. Please make sure to add user-friendly, simple names to your custom floodlight variables to make these parameters easier to understand and interpret in reports.

The following are available items you can use as custom variables

You can specify any U variable as needed, below are Example custom variables only

To create or edit a custom variable:

1. Prior to commencing this steps please inform Delacon Support and your account manager
2. Go to the Delacon Floodlight configuration tab, then click Custom Floodlight variables.
3. For each custom variable you want to create or edit, enter a custom variable name above
4. Choose string for all the custom variables types.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the DoubleClick Campaign Manager (DCM) API  differ from and/or work with the DoubleClick Search (DS) API?

● DoubleClick customers using both APIs should be careful not to upload the same conversion to the same  Floodlight Activity via both APIs -- DoubleClick does not support deduplication across APIs.

● If a customer must upload the same conversion into both  APIs, we suggest defining two different floodlight activities -- one populated by the DoubleClick Search Event API, and one populated by the DoubleClick  Conversions API.

● Ultimately, DoubleClick does anticipate that both APIs will be unified. 

● Advertisers cannot specify  attribution method on the upload for the DoubleClick Conversions API - this  differs a bit from the DoubleClick Search API, where an advertiser can upload a  conversion pre-attributed to a specific click and the attribution is joined  accordingly. DoubleClick anticipates  this feature being enabled in the DoubleClick Conversions API in the future.
