Can I use dynamic tokens in SAS Intelligent Advertising for Publishers?

Yes, SAS Intelligent Advertising for Publishers supports dynamic tokens for string replacement in creative code content. For example, an ad call can pass in a key=value pair such as "/toys=nerfgun":

http://crtl.aimatch.com/customername/hserver/site=toycatalog/size=728x90/toys=nerfgun


The creative content can then use the token %%TOYS%% to get the associated value "nerfgun":

<a href="%%CLICKURL%%?%%TOYS%%"><img src="%%MEDIA%%" width=728 height=90>

- where %%TOYS%% is replaced with "nerfgun" in the querystring of the click URL. 

Notes:

  • "toys" does not have to be a targeting tag in the SAS Intelligent Advertising for Publishers system for this feature to work.
  • The dynamic token must have %% in front of and after the string.
  • The dynamic token must be uppercased in the creative code ["%%TOYS%%"].

Appending ":URLENCODED" [for example, "%%DATETIME:URLENCODED%%"] will URL-encode the token value. Similarly, appending ":URLDECODED" will decode a URL-encoded string.
