With Appnext you can track and measure post-install events, that go beyond clicks and installs, such as in-app purchases, engagement and retention.
Post-install events data will be displayed in the Appnext platform next to each campaign in the Manage Campaigns screen and next to each publisher app in the campaign’s detailed reporting screen.

Adjust
Step 1 - Create Events:
Before sending Post-Install Events to Appnext, you must first set Adjust Tracking SDK to pass Post-Install Events to Adjust's system.
You can create new events (with tokens) on the Adjust platform, under the "Events" tab.
After your events are set up, copy the token next to each event and proceed to the next step.
Step 2 - Generate Tracking Link:
In order to pass Appnext Post-Install Events, you should add a postback to your Adjust tracking link (the link redirecting to the store).
You can create a tracking link for Appnext, on the "Apps" tab in the Adjust platform. Click on your app name and then on "New Tracker" in order to generate a tracking link.
Step 3 - add install conversion and post-install events postbacks:
Go to https://partners.adjust.com/
Enter your Adjust tracking link on step 1
On step 2, under "Install"; add the Appnext install-conversion postback:
"http://admin.appnext.com/conversion.aspx?clickid=xapnt1x"
Under "Events" add the token for each post-installed event and the Appnext post-install events postback (callback):
"http://admin.appnext.com/PostInstall.aspx?clickid=xapnt1x&action={title}"
Then replace the {title} param with a custom title for your event (will appear on Appnext's platform) and make sure not to leave empty space.
On step 3 (placeholders) add Appnext's ClickID macro: "xapnt1x"
Copy the complete tracking link at the bottom.
