Create Connection in adtribute
Open the adtribute App.
Go to "Connections" and click on "Create Connection".
Search for "Pinterest Ads" and select it.
Name the Connection as you like, e.g. the Account Name.
Before going through Connection process, you have to confirm that you have implemented the UTM Parameters that are shown.
Note: You can also implement them after the Connection process and just click "I did that" for now, but make sure to do it at some point of the onboarding. You don't need to save the Parameters as you can find them at any time when opening the Connection in adtribute.
?adb_ad_source=pinterest&adb_campaign_id={campaignid}&adb_adgroup_id={adgroupid}&adb_target_id={keyword_id}&adb_creative_id={creative_id}&adb_ad_id={adid}
Implement UTM Parameter
For Pinterest Ads the UTM Parameter need to be implemented on Ad Level for every Ad. So, update the parameters for your currently running ads and use the parameters for every ad you create in the future.
Important: Do not use the "Ad tracking URLs" option but append our parameters to the actual Destination URL as shown in the screenshot below:
If you already have URL Parameters in place add ours with "&" instead of an "?" right after them, e.g.:
https://adtribute.io?utm_source=pinterest&adb_ad_source=pinterest&adb_campaign_id={campaignid}&adb_adgroup_id={adgroupid}&adb_target_id={keyword_id}&adb_creative_id={creative_id}&adb_ad_id={adid}
