How to Prepare Packaged ZIP Files for Import
In most cases, if an advertiser provides a prepackaged ZIP file, there is nothing more that will need to do in order to prepare the file. Learn how to import packaged ZIP files in this article
Adventive requires imported ZIP files of HTML and JavaScript code to meet certain conditions in order to correctly render within our platform. If you experience an error importing a prepackaged ZIP file, or need guidance on preparing your own file, make sure the files adhere to the following requirements:
- All resources within the file must serve over HTTPS. This includes all references to third party served files such as CSS or JS, or any tracking that may be embedded in the code.
- Make sure there are no special characters (e.g. #,$,%,!) in the HTML file names, or zip file name, as this may cause errors in uploading.
- Ensure there is an index.html file in the main root of the ZIP file.
If you are still experiencing issues with your ZIP file, please contact Adventive Support
