# Tracking for Neon Pixel

Connect Neon Pixel to Northbeam and enable spend reporting and deterministic view attribution.

Once setup is complete, Northbeam can receive:

* Neon Pixel spend and platform data
* Deterministic impression data for the **Clicks + Deterministic Views** attribution model
* Performance signals shared through Apex, if Apex data sharing is enabled

| Input                                                                     | Output                                                                                    | If the input is missing                                                                  |

| Neon Pixel channel and API key                                            | Northbeam connects to the selected Neon Pixel account and begins receiving platform data. | Neon Pixel data will not appear in Northbeam.                                            |
| Clicks + Deterministic Views enabled in the connection and Model Settings | Northbeam can use eligible Neon Pixel impressions for deterministic view attribution.     | Spend may appear, but deterministic view attribution will not be available.              |
| Impression setup finalized by your Neon Pixel representative              | Impression data can begin flowing to Northbeam.                                           | Neon Pixel impression data will not populate.                                            |
| Apex data sharing enabled                                                 | Northbeam sends performance signals to Neon Pixel.                                        | The account can remain connected, but Northbeam will not share Apex performance signals. |

## Setup

1. [Connect your Neon Pixel account](/docs/channels/neon-pixel/connect-the-account) (required)
