Direct Offers

13min

Introduction

Direct Offers enable publishers to directly select individual Offers for promotion on their website, app, or via email campaigns. Any Offer provisioned to your account can be utilized as a Direct Offer. When users click on Direct Offers, they are redirected straight to the advertiser's website.

Some Direct Offers have LoyaltyBoost, meaning users can get rewards within your app/website for completing the Offer. Learn more about LoyaltyBoost (Rewarded Offers)

Running Direct Offers (LoyaltyBoost)

LoyaltyBoost Offers rewards to users for engaging with them. They operate similarly to Direct Offers, as described above, with one crucial difference: you must pass a user-identifying attribute in the payload. This ensures that when you receive a postback, the payload object includes this attribute (and any others) you supplied when trafficking the Offer.

In the following example, the user_id parameter appended to the standard link contains a value identifying the user who will receive the reward.

Example of a direct Offer link with a user_id attribute and corresponding value


Upon conversion, the postback URL will receive the user_id in the form of a GET "macro" as {user_id} and also exist in the POST data. More information about LoyaltyBoost Offers and postbacks can be found here.
