Overview:
ART19 is certified to support Podsights tracking URLs. Podsights can support both our encrypted IP macro and the passing of IP address in the X-Forward-For and X-Device-IP headers. Podsights will always check the headers first, so you can skip adding the decryption key to their dashboard if this is enabled.
If using the encrypted IP macro, a decryption key must be provided to Podsights. To receive the decryption key related to your Ad Ops profile or to have these headers enabled, please reach out to support@art19.com to learn more.
As with all 3rd Party tracking URL’s, Podsights tracking can be added at both the campaign or ad level. A tracking URL configured at the campaign level will fire for every ad associated with the campaign. This saves you time if you have multiple pieces of creative requiring the same tracking URL.
Step 1: Podsights Campaign Level Tracking
Navigate to the campaign details page and scroll to the bottom to find 3rd Party Campaign Tracking.
To add a destination, press the blue plus button and provide a name for your new tracking destination. Then click save. Please note, a Tracking Destination can be called whatever you choose but we recommend using a name that includes the 3rd party vendor.
Step 2: Apply Tracking URL
Click on the pencil icon on the top-right of the card to populate the remainder of your tracking destination information.
A typical Podsights tag will look like this:
https://sink.pdst.fm/art19/xxx111nnnxxx111/abx111xxx123nnn/dynamic?encryptedDeviceIP={{encryptedDeviceIP}}&episodeID={{episodeID}}&seriesID={{seriesID}}×tamp={{timestamp}}&_={{random}}
This will come prepopulated with all macros in the proper syntax from Podsights. Simply copy the URL provided as is into the URL field, set to Active and hit Update & Close.
