Flashtalking

Datafly Signal can fire the Flashtalking (Innovid) Spotlight container tag server-side.

⚠️

Cannot deliver attributable conversions. Flashtalking attributes a Spotlight hit by its own browser cookie, which a server request does not carry, and documents no server-to-server conversion API. The hit reaches Flashtalking but cannot be tied to an ad exposure. Use Flashtalking’s browser Spotlight tag for attribution.

Prerequisites
