MediaGo (Baidu) Full Integration
The full Voluum and MediaGo integration connects the two platforms in the maximum possible scope. It gives you the option to have full control over your MediaGo campaign in Voluum and make use of Voluum's vast reporting and optimization options at the same time. The following article describes the scope of the integration, the setup, and how to work with integrated campaigns.
How can you benefit from the integration with MediaGo?
The full API integration gives you the following benefits:
- Synchronize costs on: campaign, AD_ID, ASSET_ID, SITE_ID levels
- Check the status of: campaign, AD_ID, ASSET_ID, SITE_ID.
Voluum Note: As sites are visible on MediaGo side with a ~2h delay (since campaign starts receiving traffic) changing the bid for sites may not be possible from Voluum report's level within that timeframe. In such case if you receive an error, please try again later.
