Outbrain

Outbrain is a web recommendation platform. Using this destination you can implement server-side tracking.

Key features

The Outbrain destination provides the following key features:

• Events structure: our Events reference covers Outbrain unique events, meaning that your data is properly bridged to the expected fields in an optimized way.

• Smart mapping: data mapping can be readjusted using your datalayer defined fields.

• Custom events: you can freely push custom events based on your specific needs.
