How does the AnyTrack </> Taboola integration works.

When you enable the Taboola conversion tracking option, AnyTrack will automatically send engagements and affiliate conversion events to your Taboola pixel.

Once the data is received by Taboola, you can use it to create both custom audiences and conversions.

Finally, you will be able to use the audience data to run retargeting campaigns, exclude converters from your campaign targeting or even "up-sell" products to suitable audiences.
