# AdRoll


[AdRoll](https://www.adroll.com/) is a digital and growth marketing platform that lets you display relevant ads, engage with your customers, and grow your revenue.

RudderStack supports AdRoll as a destination to which you can seamlessly send your event data.

## Connection compatibility

{{< destination-config >}}

{{< info >}}
In the web device mode integration, that is, using [JavaScript SDK]({{< ref "sources/event-streams/sdks/rudderstack-javascript-sdk/_index.md" >}}) as a source, RudderStack loads the AdRoll native SDK from the `https://s.adroll.com/` domain.

Based on your website's content security policy, you might need to [allowlist this domain]({{< ref "sources/event-streams/sdks/rudderstack-javascript-sdk/load-js-sdk.md#allowlist-destination-domain" >}}) to load the AdRoll SDK successfully.
{{< /info >}}

## Getting started

Once you have confirmed that the source platform supports sending events to AdRoll, follow these steps:

1. From your [RudderStack dashboard](https://app.rudderstack.com/), add a source. Then, from the list of destinations, select **AdRoll**.
2. Assign a name to the destination and click **Next**.

### Connection settings

To successfully configure AdRoll as a destination, you will need to configure the following settings:

{{< image src="images/event-stream-destinations/adroll-connection-settings.webp" alt="AdRoll connection settings" >}}

- **Advertiser ID**: Enter your AdRoll advertiser ID here.
- **Pixel ID**: Enter your AdRoll pixel ID here.

{{< info >}}
For more information on getting your AdRoll advertiser ID and pixel ID, refer to the [FAQ](#faq) section below.
{{< /info >}}

- **Mapping to trigger the AdRoll Segment ID for the resepective event name**: Enter the event names which you want to map to specific AdRoll audience segments.

{{< info >}}
For more information on creating new audiences in AdRoll and getting the audience segment ID, refer to the [FAQ](#faq) section below.

{{< info >}}
When sending events via device mode, RudderStack lets you specify which events should be discarded or allowed to flow through. For more information, refer to the [Client-side Event Filtering]({{< ref "sources/event-streams/sdks/event-filtering.md" >}}) guide.
{{< /info >}}

- **Use device mode to send events**: As this is a web device mode-only destination, this setting is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

## Identify

The [`identify`]({{< ref "event-spec/standard-events/identify.md" >}}) method lets you identify a user and associate them to their actions. It also lets you record any traits about them like their name, email, etc.

A sample `identify` call is shown below:

```javascript
rudderanalytics.identify("1hKOmRA4GRlm", {
  email: "alex@example.com"
});
```

RudderStack uses the `identify` call to set a `userId` which is passed to AdRoll every time a subsequent `track` call is made.

{{< info >}}
`email` is a required attribute for successfully making an `identify` call. RudderStack maps `email` to AdRoll's `window._adroll_email` property.
{{< /info >}}

{{< info >}}
It is not mandatory to make an `identify` call every time before making a `track` call.
{{< /info >}}

## Track

The [`track`]({{< ref "event-spec/standard-events/track.md" >}}) method lets you capture user events along with the properties associated with them.

RudderStack uses `track` events to segment your users in AdRoll.

A sample `track` call is shown below:

```javascript
rudderanalytics.track("Order Completed", {
  order_id: "123454387",
  products: [
    {
      product_id: "345676543",
      sku: "G214",
      name: "Cards",
      price: 14.99,
      position: 1,
      category: "Games",
      url: "https://www.estore.com/best-seller/1"
    }
  ]
});
```

To use the RudderStack `track` calls to segment users in AdRoll, you must first create an audience segment in AdRoll. Then, you need to map the audience ID to your corresponding event in the RudderStack dashboard:

{{< image src="images/event-stream-destinations/adroll-event-mapping.webp" alt="AdRoll event mapping to audience" >}}

{{< info >}}
For more information on creating an audience in AdRoll and mapping it to your events, refer to the [FAQ](#faq) section below.
{{< /info >}}

When the mapped event is triggered, the appropiate pixel is fired in AdRoll and the user is segmented in the audience.

### Property mapping

RudderStack maps the following event properties to the corresponding AdRoll attributes:

| RudderStack property | AdRoll attribute          | Comments                                                                                                    |
| :------------------- | :------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `revenue`            | `adroll_conversion_value` | -                                                                                                           |
| `userId`             | `user_id`                 | -                                                                                                           |
| `price`              | `adroll_conversion_value` | Mapped only for the product type events, for example, `Product Clicked`, `Product Viewed`, `Product Added`. |
| `orderId`            | `order_id`                | -                                                                                                           |
| `currency`           | `adroll_currency`         | -                                                                                                           |

## Page

The [`page`]({{< ref "event-spec/standard-events/page.md" >}}) method lets you record your website's page views with any additional relevant information about the viewed page.

RudderStack internally uses the `page` and `track` calls to segment your users.

{{< warning >}}
For RudderStack to successfully send both `page` and `track` calls to AdRoll, the events must be mapped to the AdRoll audience segment ID in the RudderStack dashboard.
{{< /warning >}}

A sample `page` call is shown below:

```javascript
rudderanalytics.page("Best Seller", {
  path: "/best-seller/1",
  referrer: "https://www.google.com/search?q=estore+bestseller",
  search: "estore bestseller",
  title: "The best sellers offered by EStore",
  url: "https://www.estore.com/best-seller/1"
});
```
