Product Type: Advertising
Integration Type: Starter Kit & ID Sync
Capabilities
- Sends a request to Amnet’s identity endpoint to retrieve a uid, a unique user identifier issued by Amnet.
- Stores the uid in first-party storage based on the configured Cookie Lifetime.
- Uses the stored identifier to enrich server-side event payloads under context.providers.amnet.
- Enables Amnet to recognize users when receiving events from MetaRouter for use in audience targeting, identity resolution, and attribution within their platform.
Considerations
- The sync value is only refreshed if the previous sync fails or the stored value expires.
