Tracking the campaign is mandatory to run your CPI (cost per install) campaigns; so Tracking URL must be set properly before initiating your campaigns. 

App Samurai is integrated with major attribution and tracking providers. If you don’t find your partner on the list or use custom tracking solution, don’t worry! We have S2S tracking mechanism in order to handle such integrations.

Integration will consist of 3 steps:

1.    Setting up Tracking URL/Measurement URL

2.    Setting up Install Postbacks

3.    Setting up Event Postbacks (not mandatory)

SETTING UP TRACKING URL/MEASUREMENT URL:

You need to include App Samurai’s macros in your tracking URL to measure certain parameters. Our macros are as follows:

Required Macros

{ref_id}: Unique App Samurai click ID 

Advanced Macros

{sub_id}: Sub-publisher ID

{ios_ifa} or {device_id}: iOS IFA (IDFA)

{google_aid} or {device_id}: Google Advertising ID (GAID)

{app_name}: App Name


You can use any macro depending on your needs, but please keep in mind that {ref_id} is mandatory to include in your tracking link.
