Quick Start Guide
Get your first Tandem Beam implementation up and running in 15 minutes. This guide covers the essential setup steps for both SkyBeam and ClickBeam tracking.
Prerequisites
- Administrative access to your Tandem Beam account
- Cloudflare account (for SkyBeam deployment)
- Website with admin access (for ClickBeam integration)
- API tokens for your advertising platforms (Meta, Google Ads, etc.)
- Recommended for ClickBeam: CNAME record for API calls (see setup guide)
Create Your First Client
Start by creating a client account. In the multi-tenant architecture, clients represent organizations or businesses that will use the tracking platform.
Navigation:
Required Information:
- • Client name
- • Primary domain
- • Contact email
- • Business description
Next Steps:
- • Client account is automatically configured
- • You'll be redirected to client dashboard
- • Ready to add advertisers
Configure Your Advertiser Account
Advertisers represent individual websites or brands within a client account. Each advertiser has its own tracking configuration and platform integrations.
🎯 Pro Tip:
Use separate advertiser accounts for different websites, brands, or marketing campaigns to maintain clean data separation and attribution.
Advertiser Configuration:
- • Business name
- • Primary website URL
- • Industry category
- • Tracking preferences
- • API domain (optional)
- • Library domain (optional)
- • Custom subdomain setup
- • SSL certificate configuration
Connect Your Advertising Platforms
Connect your advertising platforms to enable cross-platform attribution. Start with your primary platforms and add others as needed.
✅ Quick Setup Recommendation:
Start with your top 2 platforms (typically Meta and Google) to validate your setup. You can add additional platforms later without affecting existing tracking.
