Campaign Tracking & Activation from Appnext on Vimeo.
Proper tracking implementation is mandatory for any CPI campaign. At Appnext, you can choose our partners' tracking solutions which include; Appsflyer, Appmetrica, Adjust, Branch, Kochava, MyTracker, Tune, or Singular
Tracking implementation starts in the 2nd stage of the campaign set-up process, where you can choose between the 3rd party solutions. If you haven’t yet done so, you can easily edit your tracking preference by clicking the “Edit Campaign” button on the Campaign Management Layer.
2. Paste the tracking link provided by your tracking company.
3. Change Click_id and Publisher_id to the following Appnext Macros:
A. xapnt1x enables proper install tracking.
B. xapnt17x serves as the Appnext publisher identifier
C. xapnt6x serves as the GAID or IDFA identifier
4. Click the green "Check" button in order to save the changes.
Testing The Tracking
The tracking solution is now implemented, but not yet verified.
1. Access the "Manage Campaigns" tab and click "Set Tracking", under the campaign Actions bar.
2. The easiest way to test the proper tracking implementation is to send a test link
to your mobile device via e-mail or SMS.
3. To ensure the app install is tracked correctly, please follow a simple
testing checklist:
A. Perform a test installation, from the same operating system and GEO as you
targeted for the specific campaign.
B. Make sure the app has not been installed on the device before.
C. Launch the app upon installation to finish the test.
4. Click the “Check” button. If the install was tracked, the status will be changed to
“Active”. If it hasn't happened, please wait a bit longer, and then repeat the action. If the status still appears as “Not Active” please contact The Appnext Support Team.
The campaign is successfully tested once the tracking status is changed to "Active".
Activating The Campaign
