Macros Needed for Adtag Creation

Step 1: Confirm Platform Support for Third-Party Ads

Before proceeding with integration, please confirm whether your platform supports third-party ads. If third-party ad serving is supported, provide the necessary ad-serving macros to ensure seamless integration.

Example 1: Macros for DV360

• ${CAMPAIGN_ID} – Returns the ID of the line item that served the impression.
• ${CLICK_URL_ENC} – Inserts the Display & Video 360 click tracking URL.
• ${CACHEBUSTER} – Inserts a random number into the ad request URL to prevent cached ads from being served.

Example 2: Macros for DFP (Google Ad Manager)

• %ecid! – Returns the creative ID.
• %%CLICK_URL_ESC%% – Expands to a special URL for tracking clicks in Ad Manager for third-party creatives.
• %%CACHEBUSTER%% – Returns a random value to prevent caching of the ad request.

Macros Required by HockeyCurve

To integrate ads effectively, HockeyCurve requires the following macros:

• Click Macro – To track clicks and redirect users correctly.
• Cachebuster – To ensure fresh ad impressions are served.

Please provide these macros in the same format or share a document containing the details.

Step 2: Sample Ad Tag & Sandbox Review

Once the required macros are received, HockeyCurve will generate a sample ad tag for testing. During this phase, we will verify whether the ad is placed inside a sandboxed iframe. If a sandboxed iframe is detected, click tracking may not function correctly, requiring further adjustments.

Step 3: Final Ad Tag Submission

Upon successful testing and approval, HockeyCurve will proceed with sharing the final ad tags for deployment.
