Zone tag overview
A zone tag is a snippet of code meant to be placed on a publisher's website. It tells AdButler to serve ads to that particular placement whenever a visitor loads the publisher's page on their device.
If you are responsible for managing your publisher's AdButler setup, you need to send each zone's zone tag to your publisher so that they can add them to their website's code. Alternatively, you can create a user login for your publisher and grant them permission to login and retrieve the zone tags themselves. For more information, read Creating a user login for your Publisher.
How to generate zone tags
- Go to the section of the relevant zone (Your AdButler > Publishers > Your Publisher > Your Zone).
- Click Get Zone Tags/JSON Ad API on the right menu. The Zone Tags window will appear.
- Configure the zone tag as needed.
- Copy the zone tag.
If you make any changes to your zone tag settings, copy the latest zone tag and send it to your publisher immediately. The existing tag may no longer function properly after you make changes.

Zone tag settings
| Type | The method you want to use to deliver ads to this zone. Different zone tags are needed depending on the situation. For more information, read Types of zone tags. |
