Getting Started

This guide enables you to fully enable the CJ integration for your site. This guide assumes you have the Freshpaint snippet installed on your site — if you do not, please follow this guide.

Enable the Freshpaint CJ Destination

1. Navigate to the Freshpaint Destinations page.

2. Search for the CJ destination.

3. Select Configure to paste your Personal Access Token, Enterprise ID, and Action Tracker ID.

4. Customers that use HIPAA mode should then configure the required, recommended, and optional properties. You can find all properties that the Freshpaint CJ integration supports here.

5. Enable CJ.

Once you've followed the steps above you can start sending events to CJ.

Required and Recommended Event Properties

Before enabling the destination, ensure your conversion events include the following properties:

Freshpaint Property	CJ Parameter	Requirement	Notes
order_id	orderId	Required	Unique identifier for the order.
value, total, revenue, or price	amount	Required	Freshpaint tries these in order and uses the first one present.
currency	currency	Required	ISO 4217 currency code (e.g. USD, EUR).
$cjEvent	cjEvent	Recommended	CJ click identifier captured from the landing page URL. Required for publisher attribution.

If you are a HIPAA account, you will need to add event properties to the allowlist. If you are not a HIPAA account, you can skip this step.

1. Go to the CJ configuration page in Freshpaint.

2. Click "Configure" next to "Required Properties" and "Recommended Properties".

3. If you're using the Freshpaint/CJ integration for publisher attribution purposes, we recommend you send the $cjEvent property. This property is required in order to see attribution data in CJ. You can do so by checking the box in the popup.

1. Next, add any other properties you'd like to send under "Optional Properties".

Once you've followed these steps, you're ready to start sending events to CJ!
