Follow the steps below to enable cost integration with RTB House.
To enable cost integration with RTB House, find the following account information and submit it to Airbridge.
Username for RTB House login
Password for RTB House login
1. Navigate to [Integrations]>[Ad Channel Integration] in your Airbridge dashboard. Select RTB House.
2. Select the [Cost Integration] tab. Switch on the RTB House Cost Integration toggle and click Add an account.
3. Enter the username and password of the RTB House account you want to connect with Airbridge and click Done. The username is in the email address format.
4. Select all campaigns you want to connect with Airbridge. Each campaign is assigned a unique hash.
5. When the popup window closes, the account connected to Airbridge will appear in the integrated account list. The status will show “Waiting” for up to 4 hours from the time the account is added and will change to “Success” when data is pulled for the first time.
To disable the integration, switch off the cost integration toggle. No data will be pulled once the integration is disabled. Data already pulled into Airbridge is not affected.
The account information remains saved to Airbridge unless you remove the ad account from the integrated account list. By switching back the toggle on, the cost integration is enabled again with existing account information.
Click the […] icon and click Delete to delete an ad account from the integrated ad account list.
If you want to reconnect the deleted ad account, you need to add the ad account and set up the connection from the beginning.
The cost data import fails when there is a change in the connection information. Below are some of the main causes of failures when importing cost data.
The permission level granted to the RTB House account has been changed.
The hash assigned to the RTB House campaign has been changed.
The password of the RTB House account has been changed.
In the above cases, remove the ad account and add the ad account again to reenable the connection.
Hash update
RTB House assigns a unique hash to each campaign. Airbridge uses the hash to pull the cost data into Airbridge. In rare cases, Airbridge is unable to pull cost data because the hash assigned to the RTB House campaign has been changed. In such cases, remove the ad account and add the ad account again to reenable the connection. If the problem persists, contact RTB House.
Upon submitting your ad account information to Airbridge, you can check if the integration is running. The status may show “Waiting” even when the account is successfully added if no data has been pulled yet.
For more details on the data import schedule and integration status, refer to the below information.
To ensure accuracy, Airbridge pulls the cost data several times throughout the day.
Frequency: Every 4 hours, 6 times a day starting 3:00 PM (UTC)
Schedule: 3:00 PM, 7:00 PM, 11:00 PM, 3:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 11:00 AM (UTC)
Data pulled: Cost data from the past 7 days, from D-0 to D-6
The last data update time is found under “Last Updated” in the integrated account list.
The integration status shows your cost integration and data update status at a glance.
Status | Description |
---|---|
Waiting | The ad account has been successfully added, but no data has been pulled yet. This status may remain for up to 4 hours. |
Success | The data is being pulled and updated regularly. The last update time is displayed. |

Read the following information before enabling cost integration with RTB House.
Airbridge pulls the cost data from the past 7 days, every 4 hours, 6 times a day starting at 3:00 PM (UTC). As the updates are not real-time, there may be data discrepancies between Airbridge and the ad channel, depending on the time of reporting.
The Cost (Channel) metric, which shows your ad spend reported by the ad channel, displays value only when used with specific GroupBys.
Below are the GroupBys that can be used in the Actuals Report to view data with the metric:
Channel
Campaign
Depending on the data reported, the metric may not display any value even if you use the GroupBys above.
The data pulled via cost integration is provided by the app time zone and app standard currency set within Airbridge.
To minimize data discrepancy, align your app’s currency and time zone settings in your Airbridge dashboard and your ad channel’s dashboard.
Once the cost integration is enabled, the following campaign details are advised not to be edited to avoid any error in pulling data into Airbridge.
Campaign name
The table below illustrates how Airbridge and RTB House use the terms "account" and "campaign" for different purposes.
The term used in Airbridge | The term used in RTB House | |
---|---|---|
To refer to "Account" | Account | Campaign |
To refer to "Campaign" | Campaign | Sub-campaign |
