Components of an integration with Rockerbox
In order to report on peroformance from your platform in Rockerbox for our mutual customers, each partner integration attempts to track marketing touchpoints and spend.
Marketing Touchpoints
Rockerbox tracks marketing touchpoints on the user level using Rockerbox <> Partner specific tracking. Refer to this guide for how Rockerbox tracks touchpoints across channels, both Digital and Offline. It's critical that this tracking is set up and maintained either by the partner or the customer, to ensure consistent data collection in Rockerbox
Spend Reporting
In addition to tracking marketing touchpoints, Rockerbox aims to receive spend reporting. Ingesting spend in Rockerbox enables your brands to use Rockerbox data to make optimizations using key performance metrics such as CPA and ROAS.
- Spend reports must be sent by Marketing Partners. Rockerbox does not support pulling spend data directly from our Partners’ platforms.
- Whenever possible, spend report delivery should be automated.
- All reporting must align with our requirements here. If these requirements are not met, files will not be processed in Rockerbox
- The contents of the spend report will be scoped based on what is important for advertisers to see in Rockerbox reporting.
- Required Core Fields: date, spend
- Auxiliary Fields: these should match the values passed in the tracking parameters. For example campaign name, ad group name, creative name, network (Linear), publisher name (Affiliate)
- This enables Rockerbox to match the ID values received on the marketing touchpoint back to spend, so that conversion volume aligns to spend to enable CPA / ROAS calculations
