Send purchases, leads and other conversions to Taboola S2S API
Able CDP integration with Taboola’s server-to-server (S2S) API ensures accurate attribution of conversions from Taboola’s native advertising campaigns, even for offline or cross-device events that browser-based tracking can’t capture.
With Able CDP’s S2S integration, conversion data flows directly to Taboola, enhancing campaign reporting and optimization. Key advantages include:
-
Precise Attribution: Track offline conversions (e.g., sales closed in CRMs or processed via Stripe) and multi-device journeys, ensuring Taboola credits the right campaigns.
-
Better ROI Insights: Measure true return on ad spend (RoAS) by connecting ad clicks to actual business outcomes, optimizing budget decisions.
-
Enhanced Optimization: Provide Taboola’s algorithms with reliable, first-party data to improve ad targeting and performance.
Ideal for e-commerce, lead generation, and any campaign leveraging Taboola’s content discovery platform, this setup maximizes the value of your native advertising efforts.
