The ShareBuilders vPPO Integration allows the ShareBuilders advertiser list to be the master of the advertiser list in vPPO, giving users the exact advertiser name needed to ensure proper workflow. In the ShareBuilders view, users will be able to see vPPO content; advertiser spot title, run dates and the option to preview/listen to the audio.

Steps to Turn On ShareBuilders - vPPO Integration
- Either ShareBuilders contacts vCreative to notify vCreative that a customer wants to turn the integration on, or vCreative notifies ShareBuilders of the customer interest.
- vCreative sends the Firm Id to ShareBuilders. The Firm Id is the market number in the vPPO system.
- ShareBuilders makes the market setup API call to vPPO to match the advertisers between ShareBuilders and vPPO.
- vCreative turns ShareBuilders on for the customer.
- vCreative trains the customer’s local admin on how to manage vPPO/ShareBuilders advertisers list.
- ShareBuilders-vPPO integration is ready. ShareBuilders will now display vPPO Production Order (PO) information for PO’s for the current date through the last 13 months.

vPPO Set-UP
To enable the ShareBuilders-vPPO integration in vPPO, first go to the Firm Profile.
In the Client Name List Provider, choose ShareBuilders from the drop down. Click Submit.
Advertiser Matching
Once the ShareBuilders-vPPO integration is turned on, ShareBuilders becomes the master record for the Advertiser list. ShareBuilders now controls the Advertisers listed in drop downs and when new Advertisers are added.
After the ShareBuilders Advertisers have been loaded into vPPO it is important to clean up your Advertiser list so that your spots will display correctly for the ShareBuilders Advertisers. If you have multiple versions of an Advertiser in your vPPO database, it is possible the spots will be associated with the Advertiser name that is not listed in ShareBuilders. This would result in vPPO spots not displaying in ShareBuilders.
Advertiser Clean up
NOTE: Always merge vPPO advertiser names into ShareBuilder advertiser names - never merge ShareBuilders advertiser names into vPPO advertiser name.
- To start the Advertiser clean up process, in vPPO go to Maintenance > Clients.
- All of the Advertisers for the market in vPPO will load to the Client page. Advertisers highlighted in green were imported from ShareBuilders.
- Review the Advertiser list for any duplicate Advertiser names. If one (or more) of the duplicates are not highlighted in green, you will need to match the Advertiser to the Green Highlighted version. For instance, in the example below 27 cash/79 cash should be matched with 27cash.Com[ShareBuilders].
4. To match the Advertisers, select the checkbox next to the advertiser(s) to match. (Step A)
5. In the ‘Merge into this client’ dropdown, select the ShareBuilders Advertiser. (Example: 27/7Cash.Com [ShareBuilders] )
6. Click Merge.
7. All of the spots that were associated with the 27 cash/79 cash account will be merged into the 27Cash.Com [ShareBuilders]
NOTE: New advertisers and updates are sent every five minutes
