Posting Instructions serve as documentation to provide your lead sources or web developer, detailed information on how to post leads to your LeadExec account. Leads can be posted to the lead receiver via JSON, HTML Form(URL-encoded), or XML.

Posting Instructions can be generated from either the Campaign List or the Lead Source Details page. To generate posting instructions, select Posting Instructions from the top menu of the screen. Here, you can choose the content type for the instructions. Click Export to save the file as either PDF or Excel.

It is also important to mention the account identifiers that are included in the posting instructions. These are required fields for your lead source to use in each request posted to LeadExec. There will be three identifiers outlined in the instructions unique to your account.

LID - Lead Type Identifier

VID - Lead Source Identifier

AID -Campaign Identifier

Generating PING POST posting instructions.

In order to generate posting instructions for PING POST, you need to export the instructions for both the PING and POST. You can do this by clicking on the triangle icon in the menu located next to the posting instructions button. Once clicked, you will have the option to choose and export both sets of instructions.

On the PING instructions, you'll notice that the pings have a dedicated endpoint they will be posted to. This is different from the lead receiver endpoint noted in the POST instructions. Also, to note, the PING receiver only accepts JSON or URL-encoded requests.
