Targeting LiveIntent Inventory in DV360

LiveIntent inventory is accessible in the open exchange or with a Deal ID (recommended).

DV360 and LiveIntent's integration currently supports synced deals. New deals will automatically appear in the "Negotiations" section with an "Action Required" flag. Once a deal is accepted, the inventory source will be created in "My Inventory."  You can then skip to step 4 in the instructions below.

More information can be found in Google's Help page

To manually create a deal that hasn't already been synced, please follow the instructions starting with step 1. 

Creating a Deal 

Step 1: Provide your LiveIntent team with the Parent Advertiser ID

Due to an update with the BidSwitch integration, all new deals created for LiveIntent inventory will require to input the Parent Advertiser ID. You can find this ID in two locations:

Within Campaign Manager, the Parent Advertiser ID is located in Advertisers > Floodlight configuration > Parent advertiser name (ID HERE)*:

Within DV360 the ID of the parent advertiser can be found in the https URL highlighted.

Targeting Open Exchange

In the event that you don't want to create a deal ID, you can still access LiveIntent inventory through the open exchange.

  • In this case, you will navigate to the Public Inventory tab and select the LiveIntent sub-exchange under the BidSwitch exchange. Uncheck the box to “Target new exchanges.”
