Aura is a Branch integrated certified partner. Once the setup is complete, we will receive

attribution and post-install event data through automated postback.

The setup incorporates two major steps:

  1. Enabling partner configuration and postbacks

  2. Creating tracking URLs

Enabling Partner Configuration and Postbacks

To enable Branch’s integration with Aura from Unity, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Ads section on the Branch dashboard left-sidebar

  2. Select Partner Management

  3. Search for and select Aura from Unity and click ‘Sava & Enable’

  4. Choose the ‘Postback Config’ tab

  5. ‘Add New Postback’

  6. Select the event you like to share - postback URL should generate automatically, based on the event. See list of supported event below

    1. levelAchieved

    2. appRegistered

    3. tutorialCompleted

    4. inAppPurchase

    5. Custom event (we support 5 custom events)

  • For customs event 2-5 you will need to manually change the URL

  1. Confirm the ‘Enable’ box is checked for the event to be sent automatically

  2. Set Attribution Windows in the dedicated tab

    1. Enable ‘Use Ad Partner Attribution Settings’ in order to use Aura attribution windows

  3. Click ‘Save’

Congratulations, now we will be able to receive postbacks for installs and post-install event data for each of your assigned events.

Create Tracker URLs

To complete the setup and launch your campaign, you need to create a Branch tracking URL, and share it with your Aura Account Manager.

To create the tracking URL, follow these steps:

  1. In the ‘Partner Management’ page, click on ‘Create Aura from Unity Link’ from the top right corner OR Click ‘Create Ad Link’ in the Links Page

  2. In the ‘Create Ad Link’ window, choose ‘App Only - App Install or Engagement’

  1. Click ‘Continue’

  2. Under the ‘Define’ section, choose the link’s domain and name

  3. Click on ‘Create Link Now’ to save

  4. Copy the two tracker URLs

  5. Share the tracker with your Aura Account Manager
