TVSquared is a television attribution platform that specializes in enterprise-scale cross-screen and multi-touch TV attribution and measurement. They empower the advertising companies to quantify and attribute responses generated across televisions everywhere, and deliver meaningful business insights from the linear and digital TV content.

RudderStack supports TVSquared as a destination to which you can send your event data in real-time.

Getting started

RudderStack supports sending event data to TVSquared via the following connection modes:

Once you have confirmed that the platform supports sending events to TVSquared, perform the steps below:

• From your RudderStack dashboard, add the source. From the list of destinations, select TVSquared.
• Give a name to the destination and click Next. You should then see the following screen:

• The above connection settings are explained in more detail below:

  • Brand Id (Site ID): This is a unique identifier that indicates the TVSquared client to which the traffic belongs. This parameter will always carry the form of TV-XXXXXXX-1 with a variable-length numeric value replacing the X.

  • Client Id (Collector Id): The Client ID allows us to distribute the traffic and manage the load on our servers effectively. It is numeric and can contain one or more values.

  • Event Allowlist: You can add the events you want to send to TVSquared in this field. If the list is empty, all the events will be sent. Otherwise, only the events mentioned in this allowlist will be sent.

  • Custom Metrics: The Property Name values added in this field will be sent to TVSquared for the events containing those event properties, along with the other defined properties of TVSquared. For example, if the property added in the dashboard is shipping , then the shipping value will be sent to TVSquared. A sample code snippet for this is as shown:

    Copy
    rudderanalytics.track('Order Completed',
    {
      order_id: '5d4c7cb5',
      revenue: 99.9,
      shipping: 13.99,
      tax: 20.99,
      products: [
    
      ]
    });

• Configure the above settings according to your requirements, and click Next to complete the setup. TVSquared should now be added and enabled as a destination in RudderStack.

Page

When a page call occurs, RudderStack makes a call to TVSquared to record a page view.

Copy
rudderanalytics.page('new category',
'page name',
{
  url: 'url',
  path: '/path'
});

Track

Calling the track method causes TVSquared's Action Tracker method to be triggered.

By default, TVSquared can take the following parameters:

• revenue
• product type (category)
• action id (order_id)
• promo (promotion_id)

A sample track call is as shown:

Copy
rudderanalytics.track('Order Completed',
{
  order_id: '5d4c7cb5',
  category: 'category',
  revenue: 99.9,
  shipping: 13.99,
  tax: 20.99,
  products: [
