Prepare Files for Uploading

  • Compress each HTML5 banner for the Adform system as a .zip file. Make sure that it has all the https://www.adformhelp.com/hc/articles/9738596324881#UUID-233f4844-a6b1-8b52-7f98-d04b623b2372 .

  • The .zip file for the HTML5 banner must have a manifest.json file along with the images, scripts, and other necessary content.

  • Name any files for additional banner elements (such as images) included in the .zip file with the same name as the HTML file.

  • The manifest.json file should have a click tag. If Adform can't find a click tag, it generates a default one automatically. If this occurs, test banners to make sure they are clickable. To test a banner, click on the banner. If it generates a message "Testing... Success, clickmethod validated." it means that the banner is clickable.

  • Adform assigns a landing page automatically based on the uploaded manifest.json file, but you can reassign it when editing the banner. To do so, select a click URL (landing page) from the landing page list.


Create the Campaign, Order, and Line Item

  • Campaigns and Orders should be created as you would normally do.

  • Line item should be configured as follows:

  1. Add Line item name, budget and date range

    • Configure desired pacing.

    • Set a CPM bid that is inline with the floor price and takes into account your Adform fees.

  2. Ensure that the correct deal is selected in the inventory tab and that no other inventory source is selected.

  3. Ensure the desired creative(s) are assigned within the banner section.


After the Campaign is Setup

After the campaign is set up and before it goes live, AdForm Support must enable "global buying" on their side.
