This is a one time process. Please work with your Perform Media Partner Manager to define the subject line and email address.

2. Provide Conversion Ingestion file specifications: Specify the list of columns that are to be included in the file and share with your Perform Media Partner Manager.

3. Logging of ClickID : Confirm with your Partner Manager if they are passing the ClickID information in the landing URL for that to be logged at the advertiser’s end.
