How to start using Adform? How integration with this platform looks like?

With Adform you can launch many types of digital campaigns –from dynamic ads up to video advertising. The integration process can look differently depending on the ad formats that you choose.


Before you start your first campaign in Adform you have to create an account in their system and choose a suitable advertising model. Someone from Adform should contact you for this purpose.


In the next steps, we explain integration with Adform on the example of retargeting product ads.


To start this type of campaign you have to install a tracking code on your site that will enable you to notice, for example, cart abandonment and other types of users’ behaviour.


After that, it is time to prepare a product feed in XML, CSV, or JSON format. It should be compatible with the Adform requirements. You can find them on Adform website:

· Requirements for XML product feeds.

· Requirements for CSV product feeds.

· Requirements for JSON product feeds.


Your product feed can be also made automatically with Feedink. With our tool, it never takes more than few clicks.


When the product feed is ready you have to load it to the Adform panel. The next step is the design and preparation of dynamic HTML5 banners. You can do it with Adform Studio. The last thing is to use panel settings to define the campaign display rules that are consistent with your business objectivities.
