Creating a New Campaign

Follow these steps to create a Voluum campaign from scratch.

💡 Shortcut — Duplicate an existing campaign

The fastest way to create a new campaign is to duplicate one that already works. From the campaign list, select a similar campaign and click the "Duplicate" button in the top toolbar. Then just update the campaign name, traffic source, and destinations.

Use this whenever you're running the same funnel for a new traffic source, GEO, or test variant.

Step 1 — Open the Campaign Creator

  1. Log in to your Voluum dashboard
  2. Click the "Create" button (top-left, above the campaigns table)

Step 2 — Choose Your Campaign Setup Type

Voluum will show a modal with three setup options:

OptionWhat You GetWhen to Use
QuickReady-to-go campaign. One destination (offer) or simplest two-step funnel (single lander + offer).Only when you need a fast single-offer campaign with no testing.
SimpleTwo-step tracking funnel with multiple landers & offers.When you need basic split testing but no advanced routing.
AdvancedTwo-step tracking funnel, multiple landers & offers, AI traffic management, condition-based redirects and more.Recommended default — unlocks split tests, rule-based paths (e.g., California split, non-organic redirect), and all advanced features.

Pick Advanced

Always choose Advanced unless you have a specific reason not to. It gives you access to split testing, rule-based paths, and AI optimization — the features you'll likely need as the campaign grows. There's no downside to starting with Advanced.

Choose campaign setup modal — Quick, Simple, Advanced

Step 3 — Choose a Workspace

Select the workspace that matches the brand you're running the campaign for. Workspace is required — the form will show an error until you pick one.

Currently available workspaces at Acentecom:

WorkspaceBrand
CelmorCelmor brand campaigns
CleantraCleantra brand campaigns
GL-MEGL-ME brand campaigns
LedisaLedisa brand campaigns
SerabelSerabel brand campaigns
WellanovaWellanova brand campaigns

WARNING

Pick the correct workspace — it determines reporting scope, access permissions, and domain settings for the campaign. Campaigns in the wrong workspace are a pain to move later.

Step 4 — Name Your Campaign

Acentecom uses a consistent naming convention across all campaigns so they're easy to filter, report on, and identify at a glance.

Format

[Traffic Source] - [GEO] - [Campaign Type / Angle] - [Brand Product]

For Google Ads include the sub-type (Search/Display):

Google Ads - Search/Display - [GEO] - [Angle] - [Brand Product]

Real examples

Name
Facebook - United States - Quiz US - Ledisa GLP-1
Google Ads - Search/Display - United States - Comparison US - Cleantra Oregano
Taboola - United States - Ledisa GLP-1 - MIG - MAIN | PD

Conventions

  • Traffic Source: APPlovin, Facebook, Google Ads, Taboola, etc.
  • GEO: Full country name (United States, Global, etc.) — not country codes like US
  • Angle / Type: Quiz US, Onbrand Women, Comparison US, Comparison w/[Competitor], etc.
  • Brand Product: Ledisa GLP-1, Cleantra Oregano, Cleantra Astaxanthin, Serabel Balm, ParaVanish, etc.
  • Variants: Add V1, V2, V3b, (based), or a date (25th Mar 26) at the end for test variants
  • Separators: Always use - (space-dash-space) between segments

Consistency matters

Match the exact wording used by existing campaigns in the same workspace. If other campaigns say Comparison US, don't write Comparison - US or USA Comparison. Inconsistent naming makes reporting and filtering a nightmare.

Optionally add tags for additional filtering (vertical, test phase, etc.).

Step 5 — Select the Traffic Source

  1. Choose your traffic source from the "Traffic source" dropdown (Facebook, Google Ads, Taboola, APPlovin, etc. — they're already set up in Voluum)

Step 6 — Choose Campaign Type: Redirect vs Direct

Voluum offers two tracking methods:

TypeHow It WorksWhen to Use
RedirectVisitor clicks your ad → hits Voluum's tracking URL → gets redirected to your lander/offer.Default for everything — Facebook, APPlovin, Taboola, and most traffic sources.
DirectTracking happens via a JavaScript tag on your lander. No redirect, the user lands directly on your page.Google Ads only — Google's policies don't allow redirect-style tracking URLs on the destination.

Rule of thumb

Always use Redirect — except for Google Ads, which requires Direct.

Google Ads flags redirect URLs as a policy violation, which can get your ads disapproved or account suspended. For every other traffic source (Facebook, APPlovin, Taboola, etc.), use Redirect.

Redirect vs Direct selection

Step 7 — Configure the Destination Tab

Switch to the Destination tab. This is where you build the traffic flow — which landers and offers get shown, in what order, and under what conditions.

7a — Choose Flow vs Path

At the top of Destination, pick the Campaign destination type:

OptionUse
PathDefine the funnel inline inside this campaign (default choice).
FlowReuse a saved Flow template across multiple campaigns. Use "Load paths from flow template" if you already have one.

7b — Set the Default Transition

Default transition in path controls how visitors move between steps (Ad → Lander → Offer):

ModeWhen to Use
302Standard temporary redirect — works for most cases.
Meta refreshUse when you need to pass referrer data through.
Double meta refreshStricter referrer masking.
DirectNo redirect between steps — for Google Ads campaigns.

7c — Add Default Path, Landers, and Offers

  1. Under Default paths, click "Add default path" (one is auto-created — "New path")
  2. Select the path on the left — the right panel shows its settings
  3. Path Destination: leave as "Landers & Offers" (or pick "Offers only" for a direct-to-offer funnel)
  4. Transition to offer: usually 302 (matches the default above)
  5. Click "Add lander" to attach a lander — see Setting Up Landers
  6. Click "Add offer" to attach an offer — see Setting Up Offers
  7. Adjust weights (100 = 100% traffic). For split tests add more landers/offers — see Split Testing

With Advanced mode

Because you chose Advanced in Step 2, you can also:

  • Enable Traffic distribution AI (Weight optimization / Smart rotation) to auto-optimize winners
  • Add Rule-based paths via "Add rule" (e.g., California split, non-organic redirect) — see Rule-Based Paths

Step 8 — Configure the Tracking & Automizer Tab

Switch to the Tracking & Automizer tab. Just pick the tracking domain — nothing else needs to be changed here.

  1. Select your tracking domain from the dropdown
  2. Leave every other field at its default — no other changes required

INFO

Voluum auto-generates the Campaign URL from the domain you pick. You'll copy it in the next step.

Step 9 — Save and Use the Campaign URL

  1. Click "Save" to create the campaign
  2. Paste the Campaign URL into your traffic source as the ad destination / tracking link
  3. Fire a test click to verify traffic is flowing correctly
