Setting up Opensense triggers in Zapier

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

  4. Set up your trigger. By default, leave both fields blank:

    Days (optional)
    Runs the trigger on data from this number of days before. For example, enter 5 to start triggers on data that's 5 days old.
    Banner Name (optional)
    Runs the trigger only for this banner. Enter the banner name from the banner section of the Opensense portal: for [[ad:new_banner]], enter new_banner.

  5. Test your trigger. The test returns:

    Sender

    Recipient
    The recipient of the email.
    Timestamp
    The date and time of the engagement.
    Adname
    The name of the Opensense ad served to the recipient.
    URL
    The URL of the ad click.

    The Test trigger step, showing a banner found with its sender, recipient, timestamp, ad name, and URL

You’re now ready to trigger actions with Zapier.
