Written Setup Guide

Step 1 - integrate with Pinterest inside Hyros inside your integration settings HERE.

Step 2 - Copy the Tracking parameters below the video, paste it at the end of the URL inside the "Destination URL" field.

Optional Steps

Manually Importing Ads 

This is especially useful if you have any awareness campaigns where a call to action button is not present or traffic isn’t being sent to your landing page.

Normally, as soon as a click event is tracked from an ad, it is automatically imported into Hyros along with the costs and other relevant information. However, if there is no click event to be tracked, you will need to import the ad manually into Hyros in order to receive the costs from that source.

NOTE: This will NOT enable you to track view through conversions or associate any ads without a call to action button with purchases. It WILL allow you to track the costs associated with the ads.

To configure this, simply go to your Pinterest integration, click configure and click “Import” as shown here:
