# Simulmedia

> Learn how to set up Simulmedia integration with Rockerbox for linear TV and OTT tracking

## Setup Process

1. Contact [support@rockerbox.com](mailto:support@rockerbox.com) to enable the integration. Let the team know the launch date and the [tier structure](https://help.rockerbox.com/article/obce43haen-1-hierarchy-mappings) you'd like applied
2. In Rockerbox, navigate to the [Advertising Platforms](https://app.rockerbox.com/v3/data/marketing/advertising_platforms/connect) page and enable the Simulmedia integration. This creates an email endpoint for receiving log files
3. Contact your Rockerbox representative for endpoint details
4. Simulmedia will set up reporting within their platform to send files to the Rockerbox endpoint
