While the integration instructions are posted on the site I've posted them here. Hopefully this thread will grow to assist others.


Integration Overview

Integration is very straightforward and will require a basic knowledge of HTML and forms.

Here is a quick overview of the process. First you will be asked to add your site details to create a co-reg path. Then you can add offers allocated to each ‘path’ you have created. Finally, we walk you through the ‘get html’ process which reads the current form on your website, asks you to match your form fields with ours and then provides you with snippets of code to add to your form.

The process will take about ten minutes and once completed your Co-Reg Lead served campaigns will appear in an IFrame sandwiched between your standard data collection and thank you page.

Once implemented, you will be able to add or remove campaigns with a single click from the Co-Reg Lead publisher interface without the need to integrate new campaigns and match form fields individually.


Step One: Add new co-reg path

- Logged in to the publisher interface select the link ‘Add co-reg path’

- Follow the on screen instructions to provide us with your co-reg path page name, website URL and choose whether you require automatic substituted campaigns.

Note: If you enable the automatic substitution of suspended campaigns then the Co-Reg Lead ad server will automatically replace any expired campaigns with the next best performing campaign that is not currently published within your path.


Step Two: Add Offers

- Having added a new co reg path as above, follow the link to ‘Add/remove offers’.

- This page will display the current offers including the campaign image and text, the commission payable and the criteria for valid leads.

- To add (or remove) a campaign simply select the checkbox under the campaign information panel for the appropriate path. Note. You can create and manage multiple paths from the same publisher account.

Important Note: Do not be overly concerned if campaigns’ data criteria includes fields that you do not usually collect on your data registration page. In the case that an advertiser requires additional data fields not present on your form, our system will auto generate the necessary input fields after they opt in to the offer.


Step Three: Get HTML

Having added offers to your path, follow the link to ‘Get HTML’ to access our integration wizard. The wizard is a simple seven step process to finalise integration:

- Add your page name as required.

- Enter the URL of your current data collection form.

- Step three requires you to match the form fields on your site with the data they contain. If a data field type is unavailable select ‘Not Available’.

- If you have JavaScript validation on your form the integration wizard will ask you to set a variable called document.crlError with boolean true or false (this variable is used by our script to determine whether or not to display the co-reg offers).

Note: The wizard provides guidance and example code but the code is not designed to be cut and pasted. Every form is different but your developer should quickly establish what is required from the example.

- Step five provides code snippets to cut and paste within your form page. Follow the on screen instructions carefully.

- This step creates the way your offers will be displayed (within an IFrame), again follow the wizards instructions carefully and ensure the URL of your welcome/thank you page is correct (we will redirect to this URL on completion of the co-reg offers).

- Finally, you are provided with code for a new web page that will display your chosen co-reg path’s ads. This path can now be edited from the publisher control panel, allowing you to add or remove offers without the need for further integration.

Direct ‘POST’ facility submission

Co-Reg Lead cannot provide a direct ‘POST’ facility as the network guarantees advertisers transparency in terms of which publishers supply the data.

Further, a direct POST facility would mean that you spend a huge amount of unnecessary extra time integrating individual campaigns. Not to mention losing the benefit of our ad server optimising your revenue.

If you have an established co-registration path which you want to supplement with our Co-Reg Lead campaigns please go through the Get HTML integration wizard as normal but instead of taking users to the new offers page after filling in your signup form as mentioned in step 7, you should take users to the page after they have gone through your existing co-reg path.
