How To Set Up A Direct Post Campaign In Lead Prosper
A Direct Post campaign is ideal when you are the lead generator, have an owned and operated property, control the lead forms, and/or want fast ingestion and flexible routing from your Suppliers. Direct Post campaigns are also used when a third-party vendor provides you with leads but does not have the capability to sell leads on a Ping Post Exchange. The platform routes aggressively after receipt, giving you full control over how leads are distributed and sold.
This article covers a step-by-step walkthrough for building your campaign and detailed reference sections for every configurable area of the campaign setup.
Steps To Building Your Direct Post Campaign
1. Name Your Campaign
Set the campaign Name to whatever best describes its purpose. If you need to display a different name on the Supplier API specs, Customer Portal, or other forward-facing areas, use the Public Name feature to assign a nickname.
2. Select Your Distribution Method
Choose the distribution method that aligns with your campaign goals. The distribution method controls how leads are routed and sold to your buyers. See the Distribution Method section below for a detailed breakdown of each option.
3. Add Suppliers + API Specs
Create your Suppliers — the entities that will be sending leads into your campaign. Once a Supplier is created, a set of unique API specs are generated and assigned to a URL. You can pass the Supplier that URL and it will contain everything they need to begin sending you leads. The API specs are dynamic, so any changes you make to the campaign fields and other settings will adjust in real time on the API specs.
If you are purchasing leads from a third-party vendor, ensure your Supplier costs are configured before ingesting live traffic so that your reporting and analytics are accurate.
4. Create Your Campaign Fields
Set up the fields with the values and formats you want to collect from your Suppliers. Build your campaign fields first before setting up your buyers so that you do not need to go back and adjust your buyer payloads after the fact.
If your buyer requires different formats or values, use Computed Fields and Payload Transformers to adjust the data to match what your buyer needs. See the Campaign Fields section below for details on field types and setup options.
5. Set Up and Test Your Buyers
Create your buyers and configure their payloads and pricing. Always test your buyers and ask them to confirm your tests before going live. The test buyer tool and response parser tool make it easy to run tests and debug any issues that appear. Make sure your Accept response mappings are set up correctly to prevent a sold lead from being marked incorrectly.
If your buyer's API specs contain formats or values that do not match your Campaign Fields, use Computed Fields to transform your data to meet their requirements.
6. Create Filters for Enhanced Routing
Set up filters to control which leads are sent to which buyers. You can filter leads based on campaign field values, computed field values, data appended values, and API responses. See the Filters section below for details on filter levels and capabilities.
7. Add Additional Options
There are a number of additional options you can configure to enhance and optimize your campaign. All of these features are optional but provide powerful ways to customize your campaigns:
- Data Appending — Automatically append additional data to incoming leads, enriching each record with information such as geo data or results from custom API requests.
- Third-Party Validations — Lead Prosper has a number of integrated third-party validations that check lead data during the ingestion process. Integrations are available across several categories: Address Validation, Email Validation, Fraud, Phone Validation, TCPA, DNC, Litigator Check, and Consent.
- Dupe Checking — Set up duplicate checking to ensure you are not buying or selling leads that you have already ingested and sold. You can dupe check on the current campaign, dupe check against other campaigns inside your account, and enable a Pre-Ping Dupe Check to check if a lead would be flagged as a duplicate or fail filters or caps before the actual POST is sent.
- Customize Supplier API Response — Add custom data to your Supplier API response to provide more information back to the Suppliers. You can add custom fields to map your buyer's PING or POST response values to, pass back which buyer(s) purchased the lead, and include details about a third-party validation that may have failed and the exact error returned.
8. Set Up Campaign Triggers
Campaign Triggers allow you to run any number of actions after a lead has been processed. Here are some examples of how Campaign Triggers can be used:
- Affiliate Tracking — Send a postback to a third-party tracking platform, such as Everflow or RedTrack, to attribute the lead status and update pricing if the lead sold to a buyer.
- Secondary Campaigns — Use real-time or delayed triggers to move leads to secondary campaigns, such as a DQ or Unsold campaign that houses different buyers who would purchase the unsold leads.
- Custom Email Delivery — Bypass Lead Prosper's plain text email action and utilize an ESP such as Postmark or SendGrid to send designed HTML templates with lead data to your buyers.
- Third-Party Tracking Updates — Update a third-party tracking platform with real-time lead data as the leads are distributed to your buyers.
- Meta Ads Conversions — Send a postback to Meta Ads with conversion details to attribute sold leads to a Meta ClickID and give Meta more data to optimize your ad targeting.
9. Go Live
After your Suppliers and Buyers have both sent in successful tests and all of your campaign settings are configured, it is time to go live.
- For Suppliers — disable Test Mode.
- For Buyers — turn them live.
Your Suppliers can then begin sending in traffic to sell to your Buyers. During the first 24–48 hours, closely monitor and review your leads to look for any misconfigurations or errors on both the Supplier side and the Buyer side.
General
The General section contains the foundational settings for your campaign: Name, Public Name, and Distribution Method.
Name and Public Name are straightforward. Set the Name to whatever best describes the campaign's purpose. If you have an internal name that you do not want to appear on forward-facing areas like the Supplier API specs, the Supplier Portal, or the Customer Portal, you can set a Public Name. The Public Name acts as a nickname that is displayed in all front-facing elements of the site.
Distribution Method
The Distribution Method controls how leads are routed to buyers. Each method has its own behavior, advantages, and trade-offs. Choosing the right one depends on your buyer relationships, pricing strategy, and how you want leads prioritized.
There are six Distribution Methods available:
Waterfall is the default distribution method for each new campaign. Ingested leads are distributed to buyers based on the sort order in the buyer list. The system attempts to sell the lead to the first buyer in the list, then continues down the list to the next buyer until the lead is either sold or remains unsold after all buyers have been attempted. Waterfall sells the lead one time.
Waterfall is the best option when you want strict control over buyer priority and a predictable routing order.
Highest Bidder is an auction-based distribution method. When a lead is received, all eligible buyers are evaluated and assigned a bid price based on their pricing configuration. Buyers are then sorted from highest to lowest bid, and the system attempts to sell the lead in that order until it is accepted or remains unsold.
Highest Bidder is the best option when you want to prioritize revenue by always attempting to sell to the highest-paying buyer first.
Send to All attempts to sell the lead to every eligible buyer in the campaign. By default, the system works through buyers in order and attempts delivery to each one. You can optionally apply a sell limit to cap how many buyers the lead is sold to. Once the limit is reached, distribution stops.
Send to All is a good option when you want to maximize lead exposure and allow multiple buyers to purchase the same lead.
Round Robin distributes leads evenly across all eligible buyers. Each time a buyer receives a lead, they are moved to the back of the rotation. The next lead is then offered to the next buyer in line, creating a rotating sequence designed to balance lead distribution across buyers over time. By default, Round Robin tries all eligible buyers and attempts to sell the lead one time. You can adjust the settings to allow Round Robin to sell the lead to multiple buyers.
Round Robin is ideal when you want fair and balanced distribution across all of your buyers.
Weighted Round Robin is a variation of Round Robin that allows you to prioritize certain buyers by assigning them a higher share of the rotation. Instead of equal distribution, buyers receive leads based on their assigned weighting. By default, Weighted Round Robin tries all eligible buyers and attempts to sell the lead one time. You can adjust the settings to allow Weighted Round Robin to sell the lead to multiple buyers.
Weighted Round Robin is best used when you want mostly balanced distribution with some level of preference given to specific buyers.
Buyer Groups let you organize buyers into individual groups, each with its own distribution method — Waterfall, Highest Bidder, Send to All, or Round Robin. Leads flow through groups sequentially, and you control whether the flow stops after a group sells the lead or continues to the next group.
Buyer Groups are an excellent option when you need more control than a single distribution method can provide.
Choosing a Distribution Method
- Revenue-focused: Highest Bidder
- Strict priority control: Waterfall
- Maximum exposure: Send to All
- Fair distribution: Round Robin
- Weighted prioritization: Weighted Round Robin
- Advanced strategies: Buyer Groups
The right distribution method depends on your campaign goals.
Suppliers
A Supplier in Lead Prosper is any entity that sends leads into your campaigns. Suppliers post lead data to your campaign's API endpoint, where those leads are ingested, validated, and distributed to your Buyers.
When a new Supplier is created, Lead Prosper assigns it a unique lp_supplier_idand lp_key value and generates a dedicated set of API Specs. The Supplier uses these API specs to format and submit leads correctly so they can be ingested and distributed. A campaign can have an unlimited number of Suppliers.
Once a Supplier is created, the unique API specs are assigned to a URL. You can pass the Supplier that URL and it will contain everything they need to begin sending you leads. The API specs are dynamic, so any changes you make to the campaign fields and other settings will adjust in real time on the API specs.
Suppliers have a number of settings that can be configured. In a Direct Post campaign, a Supplier can have all of these options configured or none of them:
- Buy Price — The price paid to the Supplier for each lead accepted. This can be either Static or Conditional in a Direct Post campaign.
- Lead Caps — Volume caps that limit the number of leads a Supplier can send. Caps can be set by day, week, month, or total.
- Budget Caps — Budget caps that limit the total spend on a Supplier's leads. Caps can be set by day, week, month, or total.
- Cap Notification Settings — Notifications that can be sent to up to 5 email addresses when a cap reaches a specified threshold. You can also set a notification to be sent if the cap has not been reached within its given time period.
- Filters — Filters can be set at the Supplier level. These filters run before leads are distributed to Buyers, and any lead that fails a Supplier-level filter is rejected outright — it will not be sent to any Buyers.
Buyers
You can use any type of buyer setup in a Direct Post campaign. There are a few things to keep in mind:
- If your campaign's distribution method (or a Buyer Group) is set to Highest Bidder, make sure that your Direct Post, Google Sheet, Email, or Store Lead buyers have static or conditional pricing rules in place. Ping Post buyers will need to have static, conditional, or real-time pricing enabled. If you do not have a price rule enabled, the buyer's "bid" price will default to $0 and cause them to always get last access to leads coming into your campaign.
- When you have Ping Post Buyers set up in a Direct Post Campaign, the lead is first ingested into the campaign from your Supplier, and then a PING and subsequent POST will be sent to the buyer if they are eligible for the lead.
- All new Buyers are set to Paused after they are created. This gives you time to run tests and get confirmation from your buyers that everything is working on their end. Always test and get confirmation from your buyers before going live. If you do not, you risk selling leads to the buyer as tests for little to no money, or encountering configuration issues that prevent the lead from being accepted by the buyer.
Campaign Fields
Campaign Fields define the data you collect from your Suppliers. Every field in a Lead Prosper campaign has a type that controls what values the field accepts, which filters are available, and which payload transformers can be applied. Choosing the right field type enforces data quality at the point of ingestion and unlocks more powerful filtering and transformation options downstream.
Whenever a new campaign is created, Lead Prosper generates a set of default fields designed to give you a baseline starting point. These are considered the bare minimum fields every campaign should have: first_name, last_name, email, phone, gender, date_of_birth, address, city, state, zip_code, landing_page_url, ip_address, user_agent, tcpa_text, trustedform_cert_url, and jornaya_leadid.
When setting up your campaign fields, configure them with the fields and values that you as the campaign owner want to accept. You should not build your campaign fields and values around your Buyers. Different buyers will have different required fields, different accepted values, and so on. Lead Prosper makes it easy to take whatever data you are collecting and transform it using Computed Fields to meet each buyer's requirements. Collect the data from your Suppliers the way you want it formatted, then transform it to your buyer's requirements as needed.
Campaign Field Types
Text — Accepts any string of characters with no formatting restrictions. The most flexible field type, but filters and transformers may not work reliably since incoming values are not validated.
List of Allowed Values — Restricts a field to a predefined set of accepted values, rejecting anything that does not match exactly. Guarantees that filters and transformers work 100% of the time since every possible value is known and controlled.
Email — Validates that incoming values are properly formatted email addresses and rejects anything that is not. Unlocks filtering by exact address, MD5 hash, or domain — useful for suppression lists, blocking disposable providers, or restricting to specific corporate domains.
Phone — Enforces a specific phone number format and rejects values that do not match. Use the phone transformer in a Computed Field to convert collected numbers into whatever format a buyer requires.
State — Provides predefined lists of state/province abbreviations for the United States, Canada, and Australia. Eliminates inconsistent values and enables reliable geographic filtering and routing.
Postal Code — Enforces postal/zip code formats based on popular patterns from around the world, rejecting truncated, malformed, or incorrectly formatted entries. Keeps location data standardized so downstream filters and distribution rules work reliably.
Date & Time — Enforces a specific date format at ingestion and unlocks advanced filtering by age or date range, plus transformers for reformatting, adding/subtracting time intervals, calculating differences, and converting timezones.
Numeric — Accepts only valid numeric values (integers, decimals, positive or negative) with no letters or special characters allowed. Enables numeric-specific filters like greater than, less than, and between, plus math transformers for arithmetic, rounding, and conditional range mapping.
IP Address — Validates that the incoming value is a properly formatted IPv4 or IPv6 address. Commonly used for fraud detection and traffic quality controls, allowing you to filter against known bad IPs or block entire ranges using regex.
URL — Validates that the incoming value is a properly formatted URL, with the option to require the protocol (http/https) or accept a bare domain. Use the url_no_query_strings transformer to strip tracking parameters before forwarding to a buyer.
Adding Campaign Fields
There are several ways to add new campaign fields when setting up your Direct Post campaign:
- Create Individual Campaign Fields — Go to the Campaign Fields area in your Campaign Settings. Click the New+ button at the top, or if you are at the bottom of the Campaign Field list, click the + Add new field button. You will be prompted to enter the campaign field name, select your Type & Format, set any values needed, set the field to optional or required on the PING and/or POST, mark the field as a sensitive field, and set the field as visible or hidden on your API specs and the Customer Portal. You can also add a Description that will appear on the API specs for that campaign field.
- Import From Existing Campaign — If you already have an existing Campaign inside your Account, you can import those Campaign Fields into your new Campaign by selecting the Import button and choosing From Existing Campaign. In the popup that appears, select the Campaign to clone the campaign fields from. There is also an option to Remove all existing fields. If you choose to remove existing fields, all current fields will be erased and replaced by the ones from the campaign you pick, and all configured filters, integrations, custom buyer or supplier prices, computed fields, and more will be erased. Dupe-checker will also be turned off. When ready, click Import.
- Import From Vertical — You can import Campaign Fields from a Vertical. Lead Prosper has compiled lists of recommended campaign fields and values for verticals and sub-verticals that you can import directly into your new Campaign. Options are available for Legal, Home Improvement, and Insurance. When you select a Vertical from the list, you will be presented with each of the campaign fields available, and you can pick and choose which fields you want to import before clicking Save.
System Generated Fields
There are also a handful of system generated campaign fields that are default and cannot be removed: lp_campaign_id, lp_supplier_id, and lp_key. These are your campaign and supplier specific keys that must be included in every API request to your campaign. Lead Prosper also provides two default pre-defined subid fields — lp_subid1 and lp_subid2. By default these fields are not required, but you have the option to set them as required.
Computed Fields
Computed Fields allow you to create virtual, dynamic fields that transform your campaign fields and system fields into whatever format is needed by your buyer(s). When setting up a new Campaign, you may not need to add Computed Fields right away. If you do, there are three options:
- Add From Campaign — In your Campaign Settings, click the + Add button under the Computed Fields section to launch the Computed Field modal. From here you can add campaign fields, transformers, and build and test your computed fields that will be used in your Buyer payloads and Campaign Triggers.
- Add From Buyer — In many cases you may not know that you need a Computed Field until you have already created a new Buyer and are setting them up. When you are in the Payload Builder, there is a button to bring up the Computed Fields modal. You can add new Computed Fields from here and insert them into the Payload without having to leave the Buyer setup.
- Import — Similar to importing Campaign Fields from an existing Campaign, you can import Computed Fields from existing campaigns by clicking the Import button. Choose the campaign to import from, then select which Computed Fields to import. If there are any missing campaign fields or conflicts, they will be displayed and explained. When ready, click Save.
Filters
Filters control your campaign routing logic and ensure that leads are distributed to the correct buyers. Filters can run at three different levels inside your campaigns:
- Global (Campaign) Level — Applies to all leads entering the campaign.
- Supplier Level — Applies to leads from a specific Supplier.
- Buyer Level — Blocks ingested leads from being sent to a specific buyer when a lead does not meet that buyer's criteria.
Global and Supplier Level filters run before a lead is ever sent to your Buyers. Buyer Level filters run during the distribution process.
You can filter on nearly every data point you are collecting inside your campaign, as well as filter leads based on Suppliers, Day/Time Parting, and Block Specific Dates (such as holidays). Filters support exact value matching or regex-based string matching to check if field values contain specific strings. If you have Date & Time campaign fields, you can filter those values based on whether the date is before or after a specific date, within a specific date range, or by the age of the date.
Beyond Campaign Fields, you can also filter based on Computed Field values, meaning you can filter on the transformed data points generated by your Computed Fields.
If you have Data Appending enabled and set to run before filters, you can filter leads based on the data appended from the API service(s) you have set up.
API filters are also available. API filters allow you to make a request to any API endpoint and then Allow or Block the lead based on the API's response.
Important: If you have any type of filter on a campaign field, you should mark that field as required in Campaign Fields. If a filter is assigned to a campaign field and a lead comes in with an empty value for that field, the system will ignore the filter entirely. For example, if you have a buyer level filter for the campaign field
zip_codeand that field is marked as Optional, a lead that comes in with an emptyzip_codevalue will cause the buyer level filter to be skipped — the lead is not rejected, the filter is ignored.
Ping Post Exchange
This option is available to transform your Direct Post Campaign into a Ping Post Exchange, and vice versa, if needed.
Warning: Do not adjust this setting unless you need to. If you toggle this on and off, your Supplier API specs will change completely and any live traffic will break until your Supplier updates their setups.
Data Appending
Data Appending allows you to automatically append additional data to incoming leads, enriching each record with information such as geo data or results from custom API requests.
Example use cases:
- Your form only collects a consumer's Zip Code and you want to append the City, State, and/or County based on the zip code.
- You have a third-party lead scoring service and you want to append the score to a field so that you can filter and block leads if the score is below a certain threshold.
- You are running debt or other financial services leads and want to use a third-party service that offers Soft Credit Pulls to grab and append the consumer's credit score and actual debt amount.
You can add multiple Data Appends to your campaign(s). Each one has settings to run the appending before or after filters, as well as the option to override existing data if the lead comes in with data already in the campaign field, or to only append the data if the field value for that lead is empty.
You can also map multiple data points from a single API response to different campaign fields. One API response could provide multiple useful data sources, and you can map them to as many campaign fields as needed to enrich and filter the lead.
Third Party Validations
Lead Prosper has a number of integrated third-party validations that check lead data during the ingestion process. Integrations are available across several categories: Address Validation, Email Validation, Fraud, Phone Validation, TCPA, DNC, Litigator Check, and Consent.
The purpose of these integrations is to verify that incoming lead data is legitimate and valid for sale. Services like Xverify and IPQS offer address, email, and phone validation to confirm the data is legitimate. You can use IPRegistry, Anura, and IPQS IP Address to flag leads as potentially fraudulent. The TrustedForm integration lets you claim the incoming TrustedForm Certificate URL using your ActiveProspect / TrustedForm account. If you have the Insights product enabled, you can also check the lead data against the data in the TrustedForm certificate to ensure the data matches and check for suspected bot traffic, how the form was filled out, and more.
If you want to test different validation services, you can enable them within your Account and attach your own account ID or API key, or you can use one of the integrated partners such as XVerify. These options allow you to use the services without needing your own personal account, and each request is billed against your account usage.
Campaign Settings
Campaign Settings is where you enable Duplicate Checking options and control and customize the data returned in the Supplier API response.
Duplicate Checking
Dupe Checker checks for duplicates within the current campaign and allows you to configure settings to flag leads as duplicates while being sent by your Suppliers. This helps prevent buying and ingesting leads multiple times, and helps prevent double selling leads. The Dupe Checker only checks against Accepted or Sold leads.
Important: Just like with filters, if you are duplicate checking based on specific campaign fields, you should always mark those fields as required. If a campaign field is added as a dupe check field and comes through with an empty value, the system may incorrectly label that lead as a duplicate.
The Dupe Checker has the following configurable options:
- Number of Days — Time frame to look back for leads to be flagged as duplicates.
- Dupe Check Fields — Select one or more campaign fields to check against for duplicates. Most common are phone and email.
- Matching Fields — When multiple Dupe Check Fields are selected, you can choose to consider a lead a duplicate if ALL dupe check field values exist, or flag the lead as a duplicate when at least ONE of the dupe check field values already exists.
- Dupe Check Scope — Two options are available:
- Campaign Level — If the lead exists at all inside the campaign, it will be flagged as a duplicate and not accepted from your Supplier or sold to your Buyers.
- Buyer Level — Checks duplicate leads on the buyer level. If a lead comes in as a duplicate but has only been sold to one of your five buyers, the dupe checker will flag the lead as a duplicate and exclude the buyer that already accepted the lead while letting the other buyers have the chance to purchase that lead.
Cross Campaign Dupe Checker — When enabled, you can dupe check leads in additional campaigns by mapping your field values to their corresponding campaign fields in the other campaign. Once the mapping is completed, any leads that come in will also check the additional campaigns for duplicate leads. Cross Campaign Dupe Checker uses the other campaign's dupe check settings, not your current campaign's dupe check settings.
Pre-Ping Dupe Check — Available only on Direct Post campaigns. Pre-Ping Dupe Check gives you an additional endpoint for your Suppliers to send lead data to check your Direct Post campaign before they send the POST to see if the lead is a duplicate. At the same time, it will check that lead against filters, caps, and other criteria to determine not only if the lead is a duplicate but also if it can be ingested if the Supplier sends it in.
Note: Lead Prosper does not store any logs or reports related to pre-ping dupe checks other than a count of the requests that came in. There are no logs of any of the actual data that was sent in, making it safe to send non-hashed phone numbers, emails, and other pieces of PII on the pre-ping without worry that it will be stored in LP.
Customize Supplier API Responses
These options allow you to update the default Supplier API Response to include additional data points.
Pass Data From Your Buyer's API Response Back To The Supplier (Exclusive Campaigns ONLY) — By enabling this option, you can add any number of custom fields to the Supplier API response. Once the custom fields are added, additional options will appear in the buyer setups that allow you to map data to these fields based on the following:
- Not Mapped — No mapping, response will be empty.
- Static Value — Fixed value returned in the custom field.
- PING Response — Grab a value from a Ping Post buyer's PING response.
- POST Response — Grab a value from a Direct Post or Ping Post buyer's POST response.
- Campaign Field — Get a value from a campaign field.
- Advanced Configuration — Use advanced settings with a campaign field, allowing the use of transformers to grab and map a value.
An example of how to use this feature: if you are an Owned & Operated site and your buyer returns a redirect URL that they expect you to use to redirect the consumer on your landing page, you can map the redirect URL based on the POST response to pass that URL back to the Supplier. From the landing page, you could then parse the value and redirect the consumer.
Important: You must configure each of your buyers and map their response to these new keys for this feature to work.
Include buyer's information in supplier API response — When enabled, the API response sent back to the Supplier will include additional details about the Buyer(s) who accepted the lead and the purchase price. This is useful if you are an Owned & Operated site and want to use data on who purchased the lead to dynamically display information, such as showing the buyer to the consumer on the Thank You page. Another use case is storing that data in a third-party tracking platform via the Supplier API response. This feature also displays the buyer CLIENT details, so if you are using custom Client properties, that data can be passed back in the Supplier API response as well.
Include all buyers — This option adjusts the "Include buyer's information" setting to show all buyers and their statuses regardless of whether they purchased the lead or not.
Validation Error Details — When enabled, the Supplier API response will include additional details about validation errors when a lead is rejected by a validation integration. For example, if you have XVerify turned on to validate phone numbers and they reject the phone number as invalid, the Supplier API response can contain details that the lead was rejected due to XVerify Phone validation failing and include the exact error message returned.
You can customize the response to include:
- Provider Name + Details
- Provider Name Only
- Details Only
You also have the ability to customize which Suppliers receive the Validation Details in the Supplier API Response. By default it is all Suppliers, but you can adjust to only send the validation details back to specific Suppliers.
Campaign Triggers
In a Lead Prosper campaign, leads enter through your Suppliers and are distributed to your Buyers. But lead routing often requires more than just that primary distribution layer. You may need to fire a conversion postback to an affiliate tracking platform after a lead sells, send failed leads to a secondary campaign for additional monetization, push accepted lead data to a CRM or dialer, log every processed lead to a Google Sheet, or notify a buyer via email the moment a new lead arrives.
Campaign Triggers handle all of this. They allow you to define conditional, event-driven actions that run automatically after a lead has been processed and distributed to your Buyers. Each trigger follows an IF this — THEN that structure: you set the conditions a lead must meet, and you define the actions that fire when those conditions are satisfied.
Here are some examples of how Campaign Triggers can be used:
- Affiliate Tracking — Send a postback to a third-party tracking platform, such as Everflow or RedTrack, to attribute the lead status and update pricing if the lead sold to a buyer.
- Secondary Campaigns — Use real-time or delayed triggers to move leads to secondary campaigns, such as a DQ or Unsold campaign that houses different buyers who would purchase the unsold leads.
- Custom Email Delivery — Bypass Lead Prosper's plain text email action and utilize an ESP such as Postmark or SendGrid to send designed HTML templates with lead data to your buyers.
- Third-Party Tracking Updates — Update a third-party tracking platform with real-time lead data as the leads are distributed to your buyers.
- Meta Ads Conversions — Send a postback to Meta Ads with conversion details to attribute sold leads to a Meta ClickID and give Meta more data to optimize your ad targeting.
Wrapping Up
At this point you should have everything you need to get a Direct Post campaign up and running. If there are a few things to take away from all of this — pick a distribution method that matches how you actually want to sell your leads, build your campaign fields around the data you want to collect (not what your buyers ask for — that's what Computed Fields are for), always test your buyers and get confirmation before flipping anything live, and make sure any fields tied to filters or dupe checking are marked as required so the system doesn't skip over them. Between Data Appending, Third-Party Validations, Dupe Checking, Supplier API Response customization, and Campaign Triggers, there's a ton of flexibility built in to handle just about any setup you need.
