You can configure these postbacks or add more under the Postback Config tab.
Send All Events
Optionally, you can check the checkbox for a given postback for sending all events. When checked, all events will be sent regardless of attribution. Otherwise, the postback will only fire for events attributed to ironSource.
Adding Postbacks
Click the Add New Postback button at the bottom of the screen. A modal will appear that will allow you to select an event that you are tracking with the Branch SDKs (including Custom Events).

4. Create Branch Ad Link
Next, you'll need to create a Branch Ad Link for your ironSource campaigns in order for Branch to properly attribute conversions.
The Branch Ad Link you create will be placed in your ironSource campaign.
5. Verify Data in Branch
After launching your ironSource campaigns, and conversions begin to happen, you'll want to verify data is being sent from Branch to ironSource. You can look at the Branch Dashboard's Liveview Webhook Records and apply the following filter:
Filter | Operator | Value |

Once applied, data should flow through the Liveview, and you can see the data being sent to ironSource from Branch.
