Validating the display of a dynamic email advertisement

A display validation engine, the display validation engine comprising a module of automated computing machinery stored in non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to:

• receive, from an email client, a request for an advertisement (‘ad’) and one or more pixel requests;
• pause all responses to the one or more pixel requests;
• select from a database an ad bundle,
• wherein the ad bundle comprises an ad and one or more redirects associated with one or more clients of an advertising agency operating an ad server, and
• wherein each redirect of the one or more redirects identifies a Uniform Resource Locator (‘URL’) to an endpoint for one of the one or more clients of the advertising agency;
• queue the one or more pixel requests;
• assign a redirect from the ad bundle to each pixel request of the one or more pixels requests;
• unpause responses to the one or more pixel requests;
• send, to the email client, a response with the ad of the selected ad bundle;
• and
• for each pixel request assigned a redirect, send, to the email client, a response including the assigned redirect.

A method for validating a display of a dynamic email advertisement, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an advertisement server (‘ad server’) from an email client, a request for an advertisement (‘ad’) and one or more pixel requests;
• pausing, by the ad server, all responses to the one or more pixel requests;
• selecting, by the ad server from a database, an ad bundle,
• wherein the ad bundle comprises an ad and one or more redirects associated with one or more clients of an advertising agency operating the ad server, and
• wherein each redirect of the one or more redirects identifies a Uniform Resource Locator (‘URL’) to an endpoint for one of the one or more clients of the advertising agency;
• queuing, by the ad server, the one or more pixel requests;
• assigning, by the ad server, a redirect from the ad bundle to each pixel request of the one or more pixel requests;
• unpausing, by the ad server, responses to the one or more pixel requests;
• sending, by the ad server to the email client, a response with the ad of the selected ad bundle;
• and
• for each pixel request assigned a redirect, sending, by the ad server to the email client, a response including the assigned redirect.
