Adworkz Posting Specifications New Car Ping & Post Version 3.2 (October 14th, 2014) This document assumes knowledge within the XML and Post environments. This document is current with the date posted above and will instruct how to post information to the Adworkz server and the responses to expect. Posting method Adworkz offers two options while posting New Car leads into our system. Ping & Post: "Single Sell Post" Adworkz will attempt to place your lead with the highest bidder with information sent in the ping. If the ping is accepted, you will have 1 minute and 45 seconds to post your valid lead information along with the transaction ID sent to you in the XML. If the lead "POST" is accepted, XML will be sent back to your system with commission included. If the potential buyer denies the post, we will discontinue all processing of the lead and send an XML back to your system with a denial reason. Post Multi: Sell Above Minimum Price This method allows publishers to maximize revenue by not depending on just the highest bidder for a lead sale. Adworkz will process your lead exactly as in our "Single Sell Post" with one exception. If your highest bidder denies your post, instead of stopping your lead, we will continue our sales attempts with the next highest bidder until we are able to place your lead or exhaust all possibilities that meet your minimum sale price specifications.
