image-20250311-080411.png

    • Orders

    • Line items 

    • Creatives 

Orders 

  • Clients may follow their existing processes to set up orders.

Line Items 

  1. Clients can create a new Line item from 2 places:

    • While creating the new order, in the New Order window, click Add Line Item at the bottom of the page.

    • In the Orders tab click on the selected order and click on New line Item.

Line items

Line Items: General Information 

  1. Name: Name your line item

  2. Line item type: LiveIntent supports Sponsorships, Standard, and House. Please note that anything setup in GAM will always be a higher priority than direct sold line items setup in LiveIntent and LiveIntent exchange. For a full list of campaigns that are supported, partially supported, and not supported in the GAM integration, please refer to our Google Ad Manager: Overview article.

    • Sponsorship: Serve based upon a defined percentage of impressions and a start and end time. Use this line item type for direct sold campaigns when your buyer wants to “takeover” a page or site. Can also be used to evenly rotate line items regardless of impression volume.

    • Standard: Serve based upon a defined impression goal and a start and end time. Use this line item type for direct sold campaigns when your buyer wants a specific number of impressions to serve. Please note that GAM impressions represent LiveIntent First Impressions/Decisions and are not adjusted for Apple Mail Privacy Protection. More information can be found here

    • House: House is the lowest-ranking line item type. It is typically used for ads that promote products and services chosen by you. Please note that House line items from GAM will always be a higher priority than direct sold line items setup in LiveIntent and LiveIntent exchange. 

  3. Expected creatives: Select the sizes that you are using in your email inventory and applicable to the campaign you are setting up.

Targeting
  1. Targeting preset: Use this to define a preset of targeting that can be reused for future line items.

  2. Inventory: Link your desired ad slots by targeting anything under “LiveIntent Inventory – ”

    • You may target at any level: media group, publisher, newsletter, or ad slots.

    • Avoid including non-email inventory with email inventory unless you are certain that the creatives are eligible for email and no additional targeting criteria is added to the line item that may create a conflict with email serving.

  3. Custom targeting: LiveIntent supports targeting by device type/proxy, country, region, metro, placement ID, and list ID through customer key values. The following key values are available, and no others may be used.
