SpringServe's SpotX Connect integration allows you to call demand from your SpotX channel IDs and place multiple responses in your SpringServe waterfalls. By synching your SpotX account, you are able to see metadata for the demand returned by SpotX.

XCredentials

In your SpotX publisher account, create an admin user that will be used to link SpotX to SpringServe. Note that if you have multiple SpotX publisher accounts, it is important that the user is unique to the account that you are linking in SpringServe.

Use an incognito window to go to the Settings header menu in SpringServe and select XCredentials:

On this page, click the button +XCredentials. You will be redirected to a SpotX login page. Enter the user name and password for the new admin user to log in, and then grant access to SpringServe to access your SpotX account.

When connected, your SpotX Publisher ID and Name will appear in the table on the XCredentials page. This process only needs to be executed once; SpringServe will maintain an encrypted refresh token to allow continued access to your SpotX account.
