Content identification settings

Setup how Seeka should format content IDs when sending data to your platforms.

Updated over 3 months ago

The content identification behavior setting in Seeka allows you to control the format that the Content ID parameter is sent to your data destinations.

This is important to allow your Ad platforms to resolve products in your funnel events so that the platform can understand the activity for each product.
