Adding a Campaign Tracker Manually

  • Updated

General

You can manually add a third-party tracker to a campaign by completing the Add Tracker form.

For more information on trackers, see Campaign Trackers.

Note: This only applies to programmatic campaigns, not social campaigns, as social campaign trackers are created within the respective social platform and applied to the social creative within Flight Control.
