Find the request

In the configured DOOH counterparty workspace, open Pipeline and select DOOH RFPs. This source switch is not available to every supplier organization. Use the list and its status cues to find requests that need a response or have already been answered.

If a request is missing, confirm the active supplier workspace and clear any filters. Tap routes the request to the configured DOOH counterparty. The represented inventory suppliers listed in the request do not each receive a separate Tap RFP.

Review the buyer context

Open the request and review:

buyer organization and campaign context

budget

flight dates

response deadline

requested geography, supply partner, environment, and screen type

the campaign objective

Tap screen identifiers and directional estimated impressions remain buyer-side planning context. They are not supplier commitments.

The selected inventory is a snapshot of the options included when the buyer sent the request. Use it as the basis for the response rather than substituting unrelated inventory.

If the deadline has passed, read the current status before preparing work. The product controls whether a response can still be sent.

Prepare the response

Write a concise response that tells the buyer what the supplier can provide and what must be resolved next. Address availability, timing, commercial assumptions, operational constraints, and any material differences from the selected inventory.

Where your workflow uses an external inventory or proposal reference, add it in the optional reference field. Do not place passwords, bearer tokens, private system links, or credentials in the response.

Use the shared request context to avoid sending a generic sales message. A useful response makes the next buyer decision clear.

Send only when final

Review the full response before sending. The interface warns that the response is final and visible to the buyer.

After it is sent, the request moves to the responded state and the submitted content is preserved. Do not assume you can edit or replace it. If a material correction is needed, use the available buyer relationship channel or contact support with the request identifier.

Broadcast and DOOH use different response models

Broadcast RFPs use a station workspace with structured, revisioned Responses and later Orders. DOOH currently uses the focused final response described here.

Do not try to upload broadcast Responses into a DOOH response or treat a DOOH text response as a confirmed Order. The buyer still evaluates the response and continues the commercial process.
