Northbeam Integration

This article outlines the steps that you will need to take to enable the LiveIntent and Northbeam integration.

 

Step 1: LiveIntent Team Sets Up the Data Flow

  • Reach out to your LiveIntent team to set up the data flow.

  • You do not need to wait for the setup to be completed before proceeding with the remaining steps.

:info:

The integration will begin working only after the data flow has been configured.

 

Step 2: Add Northbeam Tracking Parameters to Your Click URLs

When uploading creatives in the LiveIntent platform, you’ll need to include two tracking parameters into each click URL. These parameters allow Northbeam to attribute performance data correctly.

Add the below macros to each click URL:

  1. nbt=nb%3Aliveintent%3A%3A${CAMPAIGN_ID}%3A%3A${CREATIVE_ID}

  2. decisionid=${DECISION_ID}


Example landing page click URL with macros:

https://liveintent.com/?nbt=nb%3Aliveintent%3A%3A${CAMPAIGN_ID}%3A%3A${CREATIVE_ID}&decisionid=${DECISION_ID}
