Once this connector is activated, you’ll have all the data you need directly in your Analytics tool, allowing you to analyze the performance of any actions setup with Poool.
How to set up the Poool x Piano connection?
On the integration side, simply add the following configuration line in the scripts' configuration, depending on the version you use.
Version Legacy
poool('config', ‘piano_auto_tracking_enabled’, true);(Only one line required)
Access and Audit configuration
In Access configuration :
access.config(‘piano_auto_tracking_enabled’, true);
In Audit configuration:
audit.config(‘piano_auto_tracking_enabled’, true);
💡 If you use both Poool Access and Audit scripts, it is important to make sure that the configuration line is filled in correctly in both scripts.
Enable the option in Piano Analytics
To make sure that the events are sent to PA, you must activate the "Events" plugin in your Piano Analytics Dashboard.
Here's how to do it:
Go to your configuration options at the top right. Choose "Data Collection Portal".
Then open the section "Tag Composer" > "Edit configuration".
Here you can choose to enable the "Events" plugin.
Once all the steps are done, everything is in place to be able to get the performance statistics of your widgets.
Where can I see my data?
The paywall information is displayed in your Piano board: "Content" tab > "On-site ads" > "Auto-promo campaigns" > "Paywall_poool".
And behind all this, how does it work?
This new connector will allow you to use the most advanced method of sending events in Piano, namely the "Self_promotion" events based on two types of events: impressions and clicks.
You will find the following information:
onsitead_type : self_promotion
onsitead_campaign : paywall_poool
onsitead_category : events sent by poool. These correspond to all types of wall display and user actions ( 👉 we give you the detail further down in this article)
onsitead_format : scenario
onsitead_creation : [widget type] which corresponds to the widget ( 👉 detail described in the next part of this article)
onsitead_url : redirection url filled in
onsitead_variant : context name / segment name / scenario name / action detail
