Tracking users' actions in ads are crucial to understanding how your advertisement performs against previous ones and gives us a chance to learn how to improve the brand experience.
Nexd by default tracks in HTML ads:
Viewability
Impressions
Load rates
Engagement (via touches/hovers/swipes)
Clicks
Video analytics (VTR)
To add more granularity to the tracking, use the Javascript interface anywhere in your ad like this. Please note that You can track any category/ event you like and name it as you like it. We have no limitations on that. We do recommend avoiding doubling the above-mentioned events we track by default to avoid confusion.
When adding a new category/ event this will send an event to Nexd's dashboard:
window.nexd.sendEvent({
category: 'Navigation',
name: 'User swiped to card',
value: '1' // or any other variable or input
});
This function is added to the HTML environment scope, so it can be accessed in any JS/HTML file needed.
If you need to initiate 3rd party trackers based on your events, you can easily do it:
If you have an event:
window.nexd.sendEvent({
category: 'Navigation',
name: 'User swiped to card',
value: '1' // or any other variable or input
});
This can be tracked in tag if needed:
<ins class="adcads"
data-adc-id="LIVEID"
data-unit="LIVEID"
...
data-onevent-User-swiped-to-card-1="URL"
>
<script src="https://media.adcanvas.com/LIVEID/adtag.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</ins>
or
If you have an event:
window.nexd.sendEvent({
category: 'Interaction',
name: 'Click'
});
This can be tracked in tag:
<ins class="adcads"
data-adc-id="LIVEID"
data-unit="LIVEID"
...
data-onevent-Click="URL"
>
<script src="https://media.adcanvas.com/LIVEID/adtag.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

window.nexd.sendEvent({
