  4. Outbrain

    Traffic Source Postback

    If you want to let Outbrain know about your conversions, be sure to enable server to server traffic source postbacks with their external id (passed in the first step as {{ob_click_id}}) which will now be place in Kintura's {externalid} traffic source postback token:
