Submitting material

When you make a reservation, you will be sent an e-mail with a material link through which you can submit all the material for your campaign. Click the link to access the material portal. Detailed instructions on how to submit material are provided below.

1. Select the file

Click the Requesting material icon and select the material to be submitted from your files. You can also drag and drop the material to the designated area.

The maximum length of the file name is 32 characters. Allowed characters: uppercase and lowercase letters without Scandinavian letters (A–Z and a–z), numbers 0–9, space, hyphen (-) and underscore (_).

If you are submitting tag material, navigate to the 3rd party tag tab, add the material and click Save.

2. Validation of the material

Your material will be uploaded to the server and validated a few seconds after being uploaded. Once the upload is complete, a preview image of the material will appear on the screen.

If you have several image files for the same campaign, click Add material and repeat the previous steps.

If the material is invalid, the system will notify you that the material has been rejected (for example invalid file size). You can check the notification on the right-side of the screen on the Summary tab.

Make the necessary corrections to the material. Submit the new material by clicking Resubmit and selecting the file to be submitted from your files. You can also drag and drop the new material to the designated area. The new material will replace the previously submitted material.

3. Add the address link

Add the campaign address link (URL) on the Summary tab on the right-hand side of the screen. The address link must begin with https://. You can also use a click tracker instead of a URL. You can also add a pixel tracker to the second field (optional). Click Save.

The material status will be changed to Complete.
