Decisive - how to pass CPC?

hey guys, newbie here...
I couldn't find a way to pass cost per click to Voluum (or any other tracking soft) from Decisive
Can anyone real quick tell me how it's done?

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, this can't be done.

Decisive currently doesn't have the facility to pass cost-per-click to trackers.

Also, if you're using CPM (Cost per Mille, i.e. Cost per Thousand Clicks) or Smart CPM, the figures are actually for an average cost over each thousand clicks; so getting a specific cost-per-click isn't really practicable.

You can manually input an estimated CPC on Voluum, but currently you can't get cost-per-click from Decisive and you can't upload daily spend manually on Voluum.

Manual uploading of daily spend is a feature that Voluum are working on, so that's likely to change in the near future:

Thank you! This indeed makes sense, I can't get actual CPC doing CPM bidding, doh
