Connector Actions

Action Name	AudienceStream	EventStream
Send Conversion	✗	✓

Configure Settings

Navigate to the Connector Marketplace and add a new connector. For general instructions on how to add a connector, see About Connectors.

After adding the connector, configure the following settings:

API Base URL: Required. Select your API Base URL.
Amazon Advertiser ID: Required. Enter your Amazon Advertising account ID.

Deduplication for web events

To configure this connector to deduplicate events from the Amazon Ads Server tag, use the event IDs sent as event attributes with the following naming convention:

amazon_event_id_{eventName}_{tagID}

For example, a checkout event from tag #32 would send the following attribute and value:

{
  "amazon_event_id_checkout_32": "028b2ade7478..."
}

A page view event from the same tag would send the following attribute and value:

{
  "amazon_event_id_pageView_32": "084b1cda7461..."
}

Use a separate action for each type of event. Map the event-specific event ID attribute to Event ID with the matching event name mapped to Event Name. For example:

Tealium attribute	Amazon Parameter
`amazon_event_id_checkout_32` (attribute)	Event ID
`"Checkout"` (custom text)	Event Name

Automatic deduplication

When the Automatic Deduplication value is populated, the connector looks for the corresponding event ID attribute. You are no longer required to add an Event ID if this section is populated and you are using Tealium iQ. However, the following approach may still be needed when using EventStream without Tealium iQ.

The connector follows this order of operations:

If Automatic Deduplication is populated, and the value is found in the data layer (for example: amazon_event_id_checkout_32), this value supersedes anything mapped in Event ID.
If Automatic Deduplication is populated, but the value isn’t found, the mapped Event ID is used, if it is populated.

Action settings — parameters and options

Enter a name for the action and select the action type from the drop-down menu.

The following section describes how to set up parameters and options for each action.

Action — Send Conversion

Batch Limits

This action uses batched requests to support high-volume data transfers to the vendor. For more information, see Batched Actions. Requests are queued until one of the following thresholds is met or the profile is published:

Max number of requests: 100
Max time since oldest request: 10 minutes
Max size of requests: 1 MB

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Advertising Profile	Select an advertising profile for this conversion.
Conversion Definition	Select a conversion definition or click Create Definition to create a new definition.

Conversion Data

Parameter	Description
Country Code	Required. The country where the user performing the event is located, in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format.
Conversion Time	The timestamp of the conversion in ISO format (`YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD`). If not mapped, the connector uses the event time.
Conversion Value	The value of the conversion.
Currency	The currency in ISO 4217 format. Only applicable for the `OFF_AMAZON_PURCHASES` conversion type.
Units Sold	The number of items purchased. Only applicable for the `OFF_AMAZON_PURCHASES` conversion type.
Dedupe ID	If you are tracking conversions in both the tag and the connector, specify a deduplication ID. The value should match for both events.

Email (apply SHA256 hash)	When a plain text email address is provided, the connector whitespace trim, lowercase, and hashes this value using an SHA256 hash.
Phone (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide a phone number that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.

First Name (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide a first name that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.
First Name (apply SHA256 hash)	Provide a plaintext first name and the connector will whitespace trim, lowercase, and hash this value using SHA256 hash.
Last Name (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide a last name that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.
Last Name (apply SHA256 hash)	Provide a plaintext Last name and the connector will whitespace trim, lowercase, and hash this value using SHA256 hash.
Address (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide an address that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.
Address (apply SHA256 hash)	Provide a plaintext address and the connector will whitespace trim, lowercase, and hash this value using SHA256 hash.
City (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide a city that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.
City (apply SHA256 hash)	Provide a plaintext city and the connector will whitespace trim, lowercase, and hash this value using SHA256 hash.
State (already SHA256 hashed)	Provide a state that has been already whitespace trimmed, lowercased, and SHA256 hashed.
