- Anyone who needs to confirm a rich media banner is reporting correctly: 
    - Creative Studio
    - Ad Ops
    - BDMs

##### <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">🤔 **WHAT IT'S FOR**</span>

- Every rich media banner fires small signals back to Eskimi when something happens: it loads, someone interacts with it, a video plays, someone clicks.
- These signals are called **tracking pixels** or **events**, and they become the numbers in campaign reports.
- If an event is missing or broken, the banner can look perfect and the report will still be wrong.
- Until now, checking this meant digging through the browser’s developer tools, which was slow and may have needed technical knowledge.

<p class="callout info">**Now, the Event Checker shows every event the moment it fires, so anyone can check a banner in a couple of minutes 🙌**</p>

##### <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">**🛠️ HOW TO USE IT**</span>  


- Open <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">[the tool link](https://eskimi-creatives.com/creative-development/tools/event-checker/ "Event checker")</span>.
- Paste one or more Eskimi preview links into the box. To check several banners side by side, paste one link per line. Supported links: 
    - <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">[dsp.eskimi.com/preview/creative-set/ ](https://manual.eskimi.com/dsp.eskimi.com/preview/creative-set/ "dsp.eskimi.com/preview/creative-set/ ")</span>
    - <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">[dsp.eskimi.com/preview/campaign/](https://manual.eskimi.com/dsp.eskimi.com/preview/campaign/ "dsp.eskimi.com/preview/campaign/")</span>
    - <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">[dsp.eskimi.com/campaignPreview/](https://manual.eskimi.com/dsp.eskimi.com/campaignPreview/ "dsp.eskimi.com/campaignPreview/")</span>
    - <span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">[dsp.eskimi.com/adsPreview/](https://manual.eskimi.com/dsp.eskimi.com/campaignPreview/ "dsp.eskimi.com/campaignPreview/")</span>
- Each banner plays live on screen.
- Interact with the banner as a user would: **hover, tap, swipe, play the video, click**. On a laptop, use the **Simulate** buttons to mimic mobile actions.
- Every signal pops up as an alert the moment it fires.
- Watch the **Required Events Checklist** for each banner. The progress ring turns <span style="color: rgb(117, 218, 170);">**green**</span> once every required event has fired: 
    - **tracker (`x-rm-alias`)**
    - **Main**
    - **Seen\_All**
    - **Mouse\_Over**
    - **Touch**
    - *\*The checklist can be edited if a specific format needs different events*
- Every event is caught: 
    - **Engagement events**
    - **The tracker**
    - **Video events (start → quartiles → complete)**
    - **Click-throughs**

##### **<span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">✋ ALSO HANDY</span>**  


- **Error warnings:** Flags problems reported by the banner itself (**JS errors** and **"console.error")** like a **missing ticket ID** or **tracker** ⚡️
- **Live alerts:** On-screen alerts, a sound, optional desktop notifications, and an unread count in the browser tab 🔔
- **Live log:** a running list of every event, filterable by **Events, Video, Clicks or Errors**, with the full pixel URL for each 📊
- **CSV export:** download the log as a spreadsheet 📄
- **Simulate buttons:** **Hover, Touch, Swipe and Click,** so you can test mobile behaviour without a phone 👆
- **Mobile friendly:** works on phones, and swipe banners also work in Chrome’s mobile preview mode 📱
- **Dark mode** 🌑

##### **<span style="color: rgb(141, 93, 217);">✅ GOOD TO KNOW</span>**  


- **Testing is safe:** Pixels fire in **test mode (`test=1`)**, the same as the official preview, so they won’t affect real campaign numbers
- **Clicks don’t open the advertiser’s website:** They’re logged, but no new tab opens unless you switch on “Open clicks”
- **Shortcut link:** add `?url=` followed by a preview link to the end of the tool link, and it opens with that banner already loaded: 
    - EG: **?url=&lt;preview-link&gt;**
    - Useful for sending a ready-to-check link to someone else
