Additional information on Fields below.

The most common case is typical with App Names. Let's go through this step-by-step.


How to Create a Filler Rule

App Names Fillers Example

Your advertiser is asking from a specific traffic source to pass App Names. When you reach out to that traffic source they say they cannot pass App Names in the URLs, however, they can provide you with a static list of where the traffic is originating from. You can use this information and put the list in a Filler.

Step By Step Guide

  1. Go to Automation on the side menu

  2. Click on Fillers

  3. Click +Create

  4. Choose which Field Name will be filled in

    1. In this case, App Name

  5. Select the Recency

    1. Recency will restrict each value to be filled in the tracking URL at most once a day

  6. Filter the traffic that will be effected by this rule by entering data in any of the optional fields

    1. In this case, you would choose the publisher that gave you the static list and which offer the advertiser asked to have App Names passed.

  7. Enter the filler Values

    1. In this case, these values are the names of the Apps from a static list that your traffic source has shared with you

    2. Simple Values: Enter each value one by one manually

    3. Advanced Values: Paste values in bulk from a CSV or similar

  8. Add a weight % to the values

    1. For example: If the publisher only uses Twitter and UberEats as App Nmaes, you would put 50/50. So 50% of the time UberEats will show up when you pass the app name or Twitter will fill that place.

  9. Click save and you will see the saved filler on the overview table

πŸ’‘ Global Filler

If you decide to leave every field blank, you will create a Global Filler that will affect every campaign. We don't recommend creating Global Fillers as it has the potential to impact every campaign and traffic source.

Comparing Simple vs Advanced Values

  1. Simple Values: If you have a few values to add then add them one by one with the respective weight in the Simple tab.

  2. Advanced Values: Let's say, your traffic source has shared a CSV file with you that contains a long list of values, then instead of adding the values one by one, put a weight next to each value in the file -> copy all the data -> click on the Advanced tab, and paste the data where each row should look like <filler value>, <weight>.

What Does Force Override Do?

Regardless of whether values are being passed by your publisher, the filler will override it with the values you have put. If left unchecked then only when values are missing are they filled in.

πŸ’‘ Important Filler Tips

  • Even if the sum of the weight % goes beyond 100, we normalize it to 100, so there's no restriction that it needs to add up to 100 every time

  • You can test the publisher tracking URL (make sure the macro is correct) and see if the values are configured correctly.


Filters

General Filters

  • Field Name: This is the macro being replaced or filled

    • App

      • This can be used to fill in both App ID & App Name in the same macro

        • For example, a publisher can pass either App ID & Name using this format "id333903271|Twitter" in this field, remember to include the vertical pip key between App ID and Name "|" (shift+\ on pc)

    • App ID

    • App Name

    • Creative

    • Placement

    • Site

    • Sub ID

    • Sub Sub ID

  • Country: Any offers with this country will receive fillers

  • Operating System: Android and iOS - choose which one will receive the filler

Should You Use Entities or Tags?

Offers vs Offer Tags

For Offers, you can put multiple offers for whom you want to pass the fillers, but if you have all offers you want to pass fillers for tagged under a specific tag then put the offer tag name in Offer Tags.

  1. I want only offer - a 'Test Offer' to pass configured App Names

  2. I want only offers tagged under "social" to pass configured App Names

Advertiser vs Advertiser Tags

This is which advertiser is being selected for this filler. For Advertisers, you can put multiple advertisers, where the fillers will be passed in all the offers under that advertiser.

If you want to pass fillers for multiple advertisers and they are tagged under a specific tag then put the advertiser tag name in Advertiser Tags.

For eg.,

  1. I want "Advertiser 1" and "Advertiser 2" only to receive these fillers

  2. I want all advertisers tagged under "new" to receive these fillers

Publisher vs Publisher Tags

This is the traffic source that will pass the fillers. For publishers, you can put multiple publishers, where the fillers will be passed in all the offers approved on that publisher.

If you want to pass fillers for multiple publishers and they are tagged under a specific tag then put the publisher tag name in Publisher Tags.

For eg.,

  1. "Publisher 1" will only pass these App Names

  2. All publishers tagged under "new" will pass these App Names

✏️ Can You Filter Both Entities and Tags?

Entities and Tags can not be filtered at the same time, which means you can either add offer names or offer tags, and the same applies to the Advertiser and Publisher section.

For example: The given filters section will apply filler on "Test Offer" and all offers under advertisers that are tagged under "new".
