Automizer
Managing multiple campaigns 24/7 may be a hassle even for experienced marketers. That is why Voluum introduces Automizer: a built-in campaign automation tool that takes a bigger portion of campaign management off affiliates' shoulders.

How Does It Work?
Voluum Automizer is a set of features designed to automate typical affiliate tasks and reliably pass information between platforms.
Full Integration: This feature allows you to seemingly integrate selected traffic sources with Voluum using an API connection. The integration enables sending cost information to Voluum directly, as well gives Voluum the ability to control your campaigns from that traffic source. The control is done either from within Voluum panel or via Rules.
Rules This feature allows you to create logical rules that launch predefined actions when set conditions are met. Rules require you to have an integrated traffic source and at least one matched campaign, either automatically or manually.
Whitelists / Blacklists in Automizer This feature allows you to define and manage lists of dimensions. A dimension is a traffic source's custom value, such as widget, placement, creative, or other. You can use these lists in rules as a condition. Such a rule will activate whenever a given dimension is or is not included in the list.
Caution
Voluum Note: Controlling your campaigns with Rules requires integrating a supported traffic source first. However, you can apply some rules to campaigns with non-integrated traffic sources. These rules are:
Notifications for campaigns and offers
Assigning markers to custom variables

How To Use The Automizer?
The core of Automizer's functionality is controlling your campaigns with Voluum's Rules. This requires you to integrate a supported traffic source first.
1. Integrate a traffic source
Here is the list of supported traffic sources:
The detailed instructions about the integrations are provided in each article about a specific traffic source. The general instructions are as follows:
Obtain an API key from your traffic source platform. Typically, it can be found in your account settings or is available at request.
In Voluum, go to the Automizer module.
Go to the Integrations tab.
Click the Add integration button.
Select a traffic source that you want to integrate and click the Add integration button.
Provide the API key that you have obtained from your traffic source in the API token text field.
Click the Add integration button.
You can also perform an integration from the Voluum Settings and while adding a traffic source or affiliate network from the list above.
2. Create a Rule
Rules are constructed like logical sentences that:
For selected ENTITIES (campaigns, offers, custom variables)
Launch set ACTIONS
When all CONDITIONS are met
Within a given TIME FRAME
Setting up a Rule is described in the Rules article.
3. Check for conversion status
For traffic sources that use API to upload conversions (currently Google and Facebook), you can check the status of the conversion - if it's been uploaded successfully or where there any problems with it. Conversion statuses are described in the Conversion Status article.
