4. Allowlist the `$cntr_auctionId` property. This property is required to support conversion reporting to Basis.

5. Enable the [Freshpaint Impression Pixel](https://documentation.freshpaint.io/integrations/impression-pixel). This enables Freshpaint to do view through attribution within Freshpaint and report the conversion event to Basis. We recommend enabling both IP matching and Cookie matching, and setting the Conversion Window to 30 days for the best results. Then copy the `Pixel Configuration URL` for step 8. Click `Save` once you have set your preferred configuration options and copied the url.

{% hint style="info" %} Configuring the impression pixel does not require sharing an IP address or Cookie with Basis. Freshpaint will do the attribution by matching either the IP address or Cookie to an impression that is seen by the Freshpaint Impression Pixel, and if a match is found, will send the impression id to Basis. {% endhint %} 6. Enable Conversion Tracking in Basis

### To send an event to Basis, you'll need to enable the destination for the event: If you'd like to send an autotrack event from your event library to Basis, navigate to your Freshpaint event definition and toggle the destination on to enable the event to be sent to Basis. If you've configured multiple Pixel IDs, you'll need to toggle each pixel individually for each Freshpaint event. If you're using Google Tag Manager to send data to Basis, you'd simply create a tag with the Freshpaint tag template in Google Tag Manager and select the tag type "Basis". If you have multiple Pixel IDs enabled for Basis, you'll need to specify which ID(s) you'd like to enable the event for in the event tag. ### Set up a test campaign in Basis 1. Set up a test campaign that targets a small audiences and set a low budget ($10-50) 2. Attach a creative that has the Frespaint Impression Pixel 3. Verify impressions and clicks are flowing into Freshpaint correctly by working with your Customer Success Engineer 4.
