iClear

The iClear feature allows you to set and configure lead processing and filtering rules to prevent fraudulent activity.

You can enable the services on the Product level or set rules for specific channels to filter out leads that do not meet set requirements. Advanced rules can be used in conjunction with Global Rules to further optimize lead filter parameters.

To access the configuration, go to the Fraud and Anomaly > iClear section and select a Product from the drop-down list.

Global Rules

The Global Rules section allows you to enable/configure available third-party services and decide what percentage of incoming leads to apply the selected global rule. You will also be able to set a cap on the number of leads processed per global rule to manage associated costs. When setting up Global Rules, you must select the Execution Type (Synchronous, Asynchronous, On-Demand).

The Synchronous Run services are executed concurrently with lead processing and can impact the flow.

The Asynchronous Run services do not impact the lead processing flow. Instead, they help evaluate lead quality after processing has taken place for analysis purposes. The lead will go through regular processing, but depending on the result of the lookup status, it may be included in the DNPL. Please note that this can only happen if the DNPL has been set up. You can learn more about Present and Do Not Present Lists by referring to this article.

The On-Demand Run enables leads filtration when the “% of lead to lookup” is set as 0 (null)

All three lists contain the following information:

  • Status: The rule status (Active/Paused).
  • Subscription Status: The subscription status of a third-party service (Enabled, Disabled)
  • Service: The name of a third-party service.

  • Cost: The cost of the service per lookup.

  • Actions: Configure the service using the provided tools.

    • Click the “Pause” button to change the service status to Paused.

    • Click the “Activate” button to change the service status to Active.

    • Use the arrow buttons to set service priority in the lead processing flow. The arrangement determines the order in which services are executed. If one of the services rejects a lead, then the lead will not be processed further down. Once the order of services has been configured, click the “Save Order” button to confirm changes.

    • Click the “Settings” button to configure the service.

    • Click the “Delete” button to remove the rule from the list and disable the service.

To add additional services to the Global Rules, click the “Add Service” button. Once you have selected the preferred service from the drop-down list, fill in the configuration-specific fields and click the “Add” button.

Advanced Rules

The Advanced Rules section allows you to create a set of conditions and actions to filter leads further and specify how they are processed. Using the Advanced Rules, you can target leads per Publisher, Publisher Channels, and Publisher Sources. The list of actions includes the option to stop processing a lead, run additional third-party service verification, or route a lead to a different ping tree.

The list of rules contains the following information:

  • ID: The unique identification number of the rule.
  • Rule Name: The name of the rule.

    • Click the “Pause” button to change the rule status to Paused.

    • Click the “Activate” button to change the rule status to Active.

    • Use the arrow buttons to set rule priority in the lead processing flow. The arrangement determines the order in which rules are executed. If one of the rules rejects a lead, then the lead will not be processed further down. Once the order has been configured, click the “Save Order” button to confirm changes.

    • Click the “Edit” button to configure rule parameters.

    • Click the “Delete” button to remove the rule from the list.

To sort the list of rules into groups by categories, click the “Add Category” button. Enter the name of the category in the pop-up window and click the “Save” button.

To set rule priority and move the rules across the categories, use the arrow buttons in the “Actions” column. The arrangement determines the order in which rules are executed. Once the order has been configured, click the “Save Order” button to confirm the changes.
