Quick-start guide

Go through this checklist before starting the Synthetic Users configuration process:

• JENTIS tracking (tracking code, DNS A record) configured

• CMP bridge connected

• Essential Mode enabled for connector

• Ad tool configured

This step list walks you through the entire Synthetic Users setup from start to finish. Each step links to its detailed documentation page. The total implementation time (excluding the model training period) is approximately 1–2 hours of active configuration work, spread across several sessions.

Step 1 — Verify your prerequisites (5 minutes)

Confirm that JENTIS server-side tracking is active, Essential Mode is enabled, your CMP is connected, and at least one advertising tool is configured server-side. → See [What Are Synthetic Users? — “What you need before starting“ section]

Step 2 — Create your Synthetic Users model (10 minutes)

Navigate to the Synthetic Users section in your JENTIS dashboard, create a new model along with raw data collection tags, and publish it. The model will begin its data-gathering phase. → See [Create and Configure Your Model]

Step 3 — Wait for model training (~14-21 days, no action required)

The AI model needs approximately 21 days of consented user data to identify behavioral patterns and build segments. You can monitor progress on the Synthetic Users dashboard. Sites with fewer than 300,000 sessions per month may need a bit more time!

Step 4 — Configure your advertising tools (15–30 minutes per tool)

Once the model reaches READY status, configure each advertising tool (Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads) by mapping the click ID variable, and setting consent mode parameters. → See [Configure Your Advertising Tools]

Step 5 (Optional) — Test on a single campaign first

If you'd prefer to validate results before full rollout, you can configure Synthetic Users for a single advertising campaign first. → See [Test with a Single Campaign]

Step 6 (Optional) — Connect analytics tools

If you want to see Synthetic Users data in analytics platforms like GA4, you can activate click ID sharing on analytics tools as well. → See [Share Click IDs with Analytics Tools]

Step 7 (Optional) — Access segmentation data via API

For developers who want to use segment assignments in custom applications or personalization, a JavaScript API is available. → See [Access Segmentation Data via JavaScript]
