Introduction
This document explains the specifications of the excel-file used as input to run Feed Based campaigns based on content pieces (blog articles, text/image combination, recipes, etc.). Every content piece, in other words, every row of the excel-file, will be assembled and rendered live as display/video ads by the Converto platform. In addition, Converto’s artificial intelligence will automatically cut, scale and zoom the background image for all available advertising formats.
