My deal ID has not synchronized to the DSP

For some DSPs, Index must synchronize deal IDs with the DSP before a buyer can target the deal.

Search the DSP using the Index deal ID to locate the deals. If you can find it, review that the seat ID is correct in the deal set up.

After a deal has been accepted by the buyer, we recommend that you do not change the assigned seat IDs.
