Note: Event ID required

   

   

AdColony Performance Media requires the Event ID that corresponds to each postback. Enter these values and save. Contact your AdColony Performance Media account manager to obtain them.

To add postbacks for additional events or to customize behavior, follow Configure postbacks in the general Ad Partner Integration Guide.

Create a Branch Ad Link

Create a Branch Ad Link to use in your AdColony Performance Media campaigns. Branch uses the link to attribute clicks and deep link users into your app.

Follow Create a Branch Ad Link in the general Ad Partner Integration Guide.

Verify your data

After your integration is connected and events are flowing, you can verify data is reaching Branch:

   
•        

  In Branch Liveview: confirm that events from your app appear in real time. This is the fastest way to confirm SDK events are firing.

     
   
•        

  In Branch Analysis dashboards: review attributed installs and events where Ad Partner Name = AdColony Performance Media.

     
   
•        

  In AdColony Performance Media: confirm that forwarded events are appearing in your AdColony Performance Media attribution reporting.
