1) In CM360, on the Advertiser Level, set up an Event Tag that can be applied to the specific Ads that you wish to measure with Octane11.
For reference, the impression tag generator by O11’s tag generator should look like this:

Here are two ways to add O11’s Click Tag in CM360:
In CM360, we recommend you set up O11’s click tag as a Click Event for your entire campaign. To set up a click event, follow the steps provided for in this Google Article.
Please note, when using a Click Event, only enter O11’s click redirect string in the Click Event Field in CM360. For example:
If you choose not to set up a Click Event and wish to apply O11 click tracking to only specific creative in your CM360 campaign, you may enter your O11 click tag in the “Landing Page” slot ahead of your landing page URL. For example:
https://media.o11.tech/1/e/r?aqet=clk&aqet_l1=clickThrough&channel=ttd&advertiser=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&campaign=test&ru=https://www.octane11.com
To Update Landing Page URL, for example from: https://www.octane11.com
Add Octane11 Click redirect tag before the Landing Page URL:
https://media.o11.tech/1/e/r?aqet=clk&aqet_l1=clickThrough&channel=ttd&advertiser=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&campaign=test&ru=https://www.octane11.com
And enter this full URL string as the full landing page.
Test your creative to ensure that you are redirected to your client’s landing page and that the landing page URL contains all tracking parameters (e.g. utm, extlink, etc) that are configured in CM360.
