For your audio campaigns to truly shine, understanding their impact through precise attribution is key. Podscribe's pixel-based attribution intricately matches conversions from your website or app visitors' IP addresses with those of listeners exposed to your audio ads.
This process demystifies the journey from ad exposure to site visitation or app engagement. Dive deeper into our methodology here to grasp how Podscribe can elevate your campaign insights.
Setup Steps
Podscribe can track app installs and in-app events.
Perfect for mobile apps, Podscribe seamlessly integrates with leading MMPs like Appsflyer, Adjust, Kochava, and Singular. Activating Podscribe in your MMP dashboard is straightforward, letting you to send app install and in-app event data directly to Podscribe for attribution.
Podscribe has integrations with Appsflyer, Adjust, Kochava, and Singular. We are also integrated with Segment.
To enable Podscribe on your MMP:
- Get an advertiser ID from Podscribe (if applicable - sometimes an MMP like Appsflyer will auto-assign your advertiser ID for you). This will usually be the name of the advertiser without spaces or capitals
- Search integration partner Podscribe on your MMP.
- Add the advertiser ID, if applicable. Then select which events you want to send Podscribe, and click start!
- Inform adops@podscribe.com when the integration is set up on the MMP side. Sometimes an MMP will use a different advertiser name from the one on Podscribe, like
Nike - Just Do Itinstead of justNike. Podscribe’s engineering team needs to merge the two together before these events show up on your dash.
How to confirm everything is set up correctly?
Ensuring that your setup is correct from the start is pivotal for reliable attribution. Attribution can only be reliable if the events being sent to Podscribe are correct. This is critical to check before campaigns start!
Here’s how to confirm all is correct with the integration.
Questions?
What pages can I use certain event tags on?
You can use the “signup”, “lead”, or “purchase” events on any page you’d like. For example, if you wanted to measure how many exposed listeners visited a Sign-up page, you could fire the “signup” event on page view. Then, once they completed the form, you could fire the Lead event, passing us the hashed email. We recommend placing the “visit” tag on all pages.
Can I use custom event names? I want to create and track other events besides installs, views, signups, leads, and purchases.
Yes! If the primary 5 events are not adequate, we can track custom, additional events. We can also support re-naming the standard event names on our dashboard to names you’re more familiar with, such as “Account Creation”. To do so, you would simply change the name of the action in your javascript tag from “purchase” or “view” to the custom event name you’d like:
Instead of loading the script bundle, can we call a 1x1 image pixel, or pass events server-side, or in batch?
Yes - please see this guide for more.
How do I know which advertiser to pick? There are many that pop up with the name of the advertiser.
Podscribe regularly removes duplicate advertisers, but here are some steps that you can take to ensure you're selecting the right advertiser.
- Look up the different advertisers with the same name on Podscribe.
- Check all of the advertisers one by one. If the logo and website are correct, then that advertiser is likely the correct one.
Select the name displayed on the advertiser page as the advertiser’s name when creating your campaign:
If you can’t find the advertiser you’re looking for, feel free to reach out to adops@podscribe.com.

I have a new client! What's the fastest way to get javascript pixels to send them?
It is to generate them from the Tag Setup tab:
How important is it to include a hashed email in the pixel? If we do not, what would we lose out on?
Sending us hashed emails lets us find 10-20% more attributed conversions, so it is certainly helpful to have! Here’s further detail on the part that hashed emails play in attribution. If you send us raw emails, we hash them as they come in and only store the hashed ones.
From where can I get the javascript pixels to send a brand?
From the Tag Setup tab - here’s how to generate them.
