Also, we are going to illustrate how easy is with TheOptimizer.io to have full control over every piece of your campaigns (budgets, bids, widgets, and contents performance, and also landing pages and offers performance) without having to ever leave the platform.
1. Account Wizard: connect ThriveTracker and RevContent
The first step is to connect your tracker (ThriveTracker) with your traffic source (RevContent) so that you can start seeing your campaigns on TheOptimizer dashboard.
During this step, you will be asked to enter the API credentials for ThriveTracker and Revcontent (TheOptimizer will use these credentials to pull your stats from both platforms and aggregate them on a single dashboard):
-
ThriveTracker API information
The information you will need are: API Key, API Secret, and Security Token
- Login to your ThriveTracker account
- On the up-right corner menu go to “Settings” -> “API Access”:
- You will then find all the API info under the API Authentication tab
-
Revcontent API information
The information you will need is: Client ID and Client Secret.
Client ID and Client Secret can be found in your RevContent Account Settings (see image below):
Once you have all this information in hand, simply fire up the Account Wizard from the menu on the left and follow the step-by-step process:
