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 Liftoff campaigns in order for Branch to properly attribute conversions.
The Branch Ad Link you create will be placed in your Liftoff campaign.
5. Verify Data in Branch
After launching your Liftoff campaigns, and conversions begin to happen, you'll want to verify data is being sent from Branch to Liftoff. 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 Liftoff from Branch.
