## Before you begin

To set up the Awin integration, you need:

- Ad partner integrations enabled for your Branch account. Availability varies by Branch plan. See [Branch pricing](https://www.branch.io/pricing/) or contact your Branch representative.
- A Branch account with access to **Configuration > Ad Partners** and admin permissions to enable and configure integrations.
- The Branch SDK implemented in your app ([iOS](https://help.branch.io/developer-hub/ios-sdk-overview.md) | [Android](https://help.branch.io/developer-hub/android-sdk-overview.md)) with [event tracking](https://help.branch.io/developer-hub/track-branch-events.md) configured.
- An Awin account with admin access and campaigns running through Awin.

## Enable Awin

To begin, navigate to **Configuration > Ad Partners > Awin**.

Branch enables Awin's basic setup automatically. On the **Status** tab, the **Ad Linking** and **Attribution** cards show **Enabled**. The **Postbacks** card shows **Needs Setup** until you add your Awin Advertiser ID.

To add your Awin Advertiser ID, select **Partner settings** to open the **Manage account** dialog. Under **Postback Credentials**, enter your **Awin Advertiser ID**, then select **Save**. Branch automatically adds this ID to your Awin postbacks. Contact your Awin account manager if you need help locating your Advertiser ID.

(Recommended) To configure the optional **PAM for Publishers** privacy setting, select **Partner settings** to open the **Manage account** dialog and enable the toggle. When enabled, [PAM for Publishers](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/predictive-aggregate-measurement.md#pam-for-publishers) removes advertiser-specific user identifiers from postbacks for users who haven't opted in via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, prioritizing identifiers provided directly by Awin.

## Configure attribution

By default, Awin uses your global app attribution settings. To set attribution windows specific to Awin, enable the **Override global app settings** toggle on the **Attribution windows** tab.

To minimize discrepancies when comparing Branch and Awin reporting, match your Branch attribution windows to the settings in your Awin account. Awin recommends longer click windows (90 days for click to start session and click to conversion event, 30 days for click to install) and 1-day impression windows.

For more information, follow [Configure attribution](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/ad-partner-integration-guide-new.md#configure-attribution) in the general [Ad Partner Integration Guide](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/ad-partner-integration-guide-new.md).

## Configure postbacks

Enabling Awin automatically activates postbacks for `INSTALL` and `PURCHASE`. The default postback URL template is:

```
https://www.awin1.com/sread.php?tt=ss&tv=2&type=ap&merchant=<#if (last_attributed_touch_data.awin_merchant_id)?? && (last_attributed_touch_data.awin_merchant_id)?has_content>${(last_attributed_touch_data.awin_merchant_id)!}<#else>${ad_network.credentials.awin_advertiser_id}</#if>&amount=${ (event_data.revenue)! }&ref=<#if (user_data.os)! == "IOS" && (user_data.idfa)! != "">${(user_data.idfa)!}<#elseif (user_data.os)! == "IOS">${(user_data.idfv)!}<#elseif (user_data.os)! == "ANDROID">${(user_data.aaid)!}</#if>&parts=${(content_items[0].custom_fields.commissionGroupCode)!}:${ (event_data.revenue)! }&cks=${ (last_attributed_touch_data.~click_id)! }&p1=${ (user_data.os)! }&awin_merchant_id=${ (last_attributed_touch_data.awin_merchant_id)! }&awin_advertiser_id=${ (ad_network.credentials.awin_advertiser_id)! }&p30=branch
```

To add postbacks for additional events or to customize postback behavior, follow [Configure postbacks](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/ad-partner-integration-guide-new.md#configure-postbacks) in the general [Ad Partner Integration Guide](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/ad-partner-integration-guide-new.md).

## Create a Branch Ad Link

Create a Branch Ad Link to use in your Awin campaigns. Branch uses the link to attribute clicks and installs and deep link users into your app. The Branch Ad Link you create is placed in your Awin campaign.

Follow [Create Ad Links](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/ad-links.md).

## Verify your data

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

- **In Branch** [**Liveview**](https://app.branch.io/testing-and-monitoring/events): 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**](https://help.branch.io/marketer-hub/analysis-dashboards-overview-new.md): review attributed installs and events where `Ad Partner Name = Awin`.
- **In Awin**: confirm that forwarded events are appearing in your Awin reporting.

## Data mappings

### Campaign data

| Branch field | Partner data |
