-
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 = Wider Planet. -
In Wider Planet: confirm that forwarded events are appearing in your Wider Planet attribution reporting.
