How to get Client ID, Campaign ID

In order to find the Client ID, you need to have a Posting URL. You can find it following these steps:

1. Access the Menu page by clicking on your name in the upper right of the header
2. Under Administration, click on Campaigns

Please note: requests for a URL can only come from an administrator on the account. If you are a lead provider, please contact the company's administrator.

Campaign ID is a unique identifier associated with each of your campaigns, and they are an easy way for you to reference your campaigns. It's the Campaign ID you would like your leads to import under.

You may find it by accessing the Lead Sources page, under Administration » Lead Sources. IDs are stated at the most left column of the table.
