Integrating the Privadsy WebSDK into your website is a straightforward process that enables you to leverage the full potential of SmartLinks and Billboards. In this tutorial, we will guide you through each step, from creating a platform and generating a PlatformID to configuring SmartLinks and Billboards.

Step 1: Create a Platform
• Log in to your Privadsy Dashboard.
• Navigate to the Platforms menu.
• Click on Add Platform to open a new modal window.
• Enter a clear and descriptive name for your platform. This helps you identify it later.
• Set the Type to Website, as this is recommended for WebSDK integration.
• Enter the URL of the website you wish to associate with this platform.
• Save the platform.
Step 2: Copy the PlatformID
• Once the platform is created, locate the Copy ID button.
• Click to copy the PlatformID to your clipboard. It will look something like this:

Step 3: Create a SmartLink
• Go to the SmartLinks section in the dashboard.
• Click Create new SmartLink.
• In the Destination URL field, enter the target URL where you want users to land after clicking the link.
• Optionally, customize the Short Link Domain and Slug to make the URL more memorable.
• Add any internal comments to help manage the link.
• Save your SmartLink.
Step 4: Create a Billboard
• Go to the Billboards section.
• Click Add Billboard.
• Select the platform you created in Step 1 as the target platform.
• Set the Target URL to the SmartLink you created in Step 3.
• Customize the appearance and placement of the Billboard as needed.
• Save and deploy the Billboard.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
• Billboard Not Displaying: Double-check that you have linked the correct Billboard and platform.
