How it flows
How a Custom stack event reaches MNTN. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.
01 Capture
Captured from Custom stack
Not on the list? Send events to Upstack from any stack over webhook or direct post, with the same schema and the same resolution.

02 Understand
Resolved to one person before it leaves
Every Custom stack event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

03 Activate
Delivered to MNTN
Forward resolved conversions to MNTN so connected-TV spend is judged against orders rather than against household reach.

The catch
The freedom to name your own events is also the risk: an ad platform expects specific event names and parameter shapes, and anything outside that is accepted and ignored.
Mapping happens before send, not in the platform.

What changes
What changes when Custom stack feeds MNTN. Two gains on the MNTN side, two on the Custom stack side.
MNTN
Server-side delivery
Events reach MNTN through its server API rather than the browser, so ad blockers and ITP don’t cost you conversions.
MNTN
Identity-resolved events
Events sent to MNTN carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.
Custom stack
Any stack, any framework
Headless, custom checkout, native app or a platform we haven’t listed: if it can make an HTTP request, it can send to Upstack.
Custom stack
The same event schema
Custom events are resolved, filtered and forwarded exactly like a Shopify order.
Setup
Post directly from your backend so nothing depends on the browser.
Connect Custom stack once and every destination, MNTN included, is forwarded the same resolved events.
