Configuring Campaign Attribution Settings

Define how interactions and conversions will be attributed to your campaigns

Selecting Default Models

Campaigns are unique, and the manner in which leads interact with them will also vary greatly. As such, there are a variety of default attribution models to select from. 

To select a default attribution model for all campaigns, do the following:

1. Click Campaigns > Campaigns in the left toolbar.
   
   
    
2. Click the Settings tab. 
3. In the Default Attribution Model section, select one of the available attribution models.
4. Click Save Changes.
   
   

Attribution Models 

The available models are as follows:

To set time decay rates, do the following:

1. Click Campaigns > Campaigns in the left toolbar.
   
   
    
2. Click the Settings tab. 
3. In the Time Decay Rate section, enter the desired number of weeks in the Attribution decay rate number field.
4. Click Save Changes. 
   
   

Determining Attribution Windows

Attribution window settings are wholly optional. They do not need to be enabled and configured for your campaigns to function.

Repeating Attributions

This setting limits overall attribution reporting. There may come a time when you have many active opportunities. A customer may interact with several of them. This setting will limit those interactions to the ones that are contributing to the most recent opportunity.

Repeat sales attribution settings are wholly optional. They do not need to be enabled for your campaigns to function.

To limit repeat attribution reporting, do the following:

1. Click Campaigns > Campaigns in the left toolbar.
   
   
    
2. Click the Settings tab. 
3. In the Repeat Sales Attributions section, click the Only consider interactions checkbox.
4. Click Save Changes.
