1	# AdvertServe Platform Help
2
3	## Step 1 — Gather context
4
5	If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
6
7	1. What are you trying to do?
8	- A) Set up AdvertServe to serve ads on my website
9	- B) Serve ads in my email newsletter
10	- C) Manage campaigns and advertisers via the API
11	- D) Configure targeting (geo, keyword, weather, contextual)
12	- E) Set up header bidding with Prebid.js
13	- F) Compare AdvertServe to other ad servers
14
15	2. Your role?
16	- A) Publisher (monetizing my own site/newsletter)
17	- B) Advertiser (placing ads on publisher sites)
18	- C) Ad agency (managing multiple clients)
19	- D) Ad network operator
20
21	3. Current plan: 45-day free trial or paid ($299/mo base)?
22
23	Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
24
25	## Step 2 — Route or answer directly
26
27	\| If the question is about... \| Route to... \|
28	\|---\|---\|
29	\| Newsletter monetization strategy (subscriptions, pricing models) \| `/sales-newsletter [question]` \|
30	\| Programmatic/RTB ad serving \| `/sales-epom [question]` or `/sales-adbutler [question]` \|
31	\| Self-serve advertiser portal \| `/sales-adbutler [question]` \|
32	\| Direct-sold ad management for local publishers \| `/sales-broadstreet [question]` \|
33	\| Free self-hosted ad server \| `/sales-revive [question]` \|
34	\| Email deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) \| `/sales-deliverability [question]` \|
35
36	If the question is AdvertServe-specific, continue to Step 3.
37
38	## Step 3 — AdvertServe platform reference
39
40	Read `references/platform-guide.md` for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, email ad setup, API overview, integration recipes, code examples.
41
42	Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
43
44	## Step 4 — Actionable guidance
45
46	Focus on the user's specific situation:
47
48	- Publisher getting started: Create zones (Banner/Text/VAST Video/Dynamic), create campaigns with media, assign campaigns to zones via tiers (1-100 priority), generate ad tags via Code Wizard, paste into your site. Ads rotate automatically.
49	- Email newsletter ads: Use the Code Wizard to generate "E-mail" code (Banner type). This produces a static `<a>` + `<img>` tag (no JavaScript). Paste into your ESP template. Image-only creatives — no HTML5 or rich media in email.
50	- API automation: Enable API in Settings > Basic > API. Get your secret key. Make HTTP GET/POST requests to `/servlet/control/api/{module}/{action}` with the `secret` parameter. Responses in JSON (`output=json`) or XML (default).
51	- Choosing AdvertServe vs alternatives: AdvertServe is best for mid-to-large publishers wanting a feature-rich hosted ad server with video, header bidding, and white-label. For budget hosting, use AdSpeed ($9.95/mo). For self-hosted free, use Revive. For self-serve portal, use AdButler.
52
53	If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.
54
55	## Gotchas
56
57	> Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about integration gotchas that may be outdated.
58
59	1. Email ads must use the E-mail code format — the Code Wizard generates JavaScript tags by default. For newsletters, explicitly select the "E-mail" code type to get static IMG tags. JavaScript won't render in email clients.
60	2. Image format restrictions — code-based images are not accepted. Creatives must be JPEG, GIF, or PNG files. If a client provides HTML5 or code-based images, you'll need to convert them.
61	3. Click tags can be confusing — understanding how to use tracking pixels and click tags has a learning curve. Use the Code Wizard's generated tags rather than building manually.
62	4. API documentation is technical — the docs assume familiarity with HTTP APIs and programming. Non-technical users should use
