Getting Started - From Your Campaign Manager 360** Account

**Prerequisite:

The DV360 integration relies on our Campaign Manager 360 (CM360) integration with a minor parameter adjustment in the Global mapping. Ensure you have an active CM360 account that shares Floodlight activities with DV360 before proceeding with this integration.

If you've already set up a CM360 integration and completed the "Getting Started" steps outlined here, you can proceed without repeating this step. Simply use the same credentials and IDs.


Getting Started - From Your MetaRouter Account

Start by creating a new "Google Campaign Manager" integration. If you've previously integrated CM360, consider renaming it to reflect your DV360 connection, such as "Campaign Manager - DV360".

Proceed with the connection parameters and Google Gtag Sync as specified in the CM360 integration instructions available here.


Event Mappings

For DV360, event mappings align with CM360, but one crucial change is necessary to accommodate the DV360 identifier:

  1. Navigate to Global events.
  2. Expand the gclid parameter.
  3. Update the output key from gclid to dclid.
  4. Modify the expression line from return SPLIT(input.context.providers.googleGtag.data.gclid, ".", 3)[3] to return SPLIT(input.context.providers.googleGtag.data.dclid, ".", 3)[3].

Required Identifiers

The following identifier must be mapped to DV360 in order for successful user matching to occur. Without these IDs, any events sent to DV360 will be rejected. For your convenience, required and recommended IDs are mapped as Global parameters to ensure they are added to every event.
