PX platform now supports clients in Education vertical, which means you can, create, edit, clone and delete program lists and programs within Education lead campaigns.
Programs are usually the courses offered by a particular university/college to its students.
How lead flow works in Education
In Education vertical, there are the following participants of the lead flow:
- publishers that send leads containing the program list ID (optional) and program ID (mandatory).
- each buyer account represents a university, college or other educational institution, that may have 2 types of buyer campaigns:
- at least one active parent campaign - a certain faculty/campus of this university, which has its program lists (courses) and programs. Parent campaign buys leads from publishers with certain program list ID and program ID according to campaign settings and filter rules configured, and then distributes these leads to delivery endpoints using rerun functionality.
- delivery endpoint campaign(s) - usually, various departments of the university. These are paused campaigns linked to the parent one. They receive leads bought by parent campaign according to sales model and posting type configured, as well as campaign filter rules based on certain program list ID and/or program ID.
Only parent campaign pays for the leads when buying them from publishers, after which these leads are distributed among delivery endpoints with 0 Payouts.

Set bid and filter rules

If you wish to have more granular control over the lead distribution, create bid rules for Parent campaigns based on Program list ID and/or Program ID attribute:
You can also set filter rules for both campaign types:
- parent campaigns - lead distribution between publishers and campaigns;
- delivery endpoint campaigns - lead distribution between several endpoints of one parent campaign.
Trigger sales using Disposition API
In Education vertical, you can deliver the lead sold to the parent campaign to additional endpoint campaigns of the same buyer based on disposition uploaded for this lead via Disposition API.
To do this, set one of the filter rules for the endpoint campaign:
-
Triggered by disposition - sale will be triggered if any disposition status was uploaded.
-
Triggered by disposition status - sale is triggered only if specific status was uploaded.
Based on the rule you set two flows are possible.
