4. Set up Cost Data

Beta for Non-SANs

Cost Data for Non-Self-Attributing Networks (Non-SANs) is a feature currently in Beta; be aware that there may be unexpected bugs/behaviors until the full release.

To set up cost ingestion for Moloco, you will need to authenticate using your Token and Account Id (labelled as 3 in the screenshot). These can be located in your Ad Account Settings under the Report Partner Integration tab. If you haven't, you will need to create a new integration and select Branch to get a new Token ID.

Reach out to your Moloco account manager if you have trouble finding the credentials.

Enter your Token and Account Id, and click Save Authentication

📘

Limitations

Cost data will only be available from the date that the Token is created on the Moloco dashboard

5. Create Branch Ad Link

Next, you'll need to create a Branch Ad Link for your Moloco campaigns in order for Branch to properly attribute conversions.

The Branch Ad Link you create will be placed in your Moloco campaign.

6. Verify Data in Branch

After launching your Moloco campaigns, and conversions begin to happen, you'll want to verify data is being sent from Branch to Moloco. You can look at the Branch Dashboard's Liveview Webhook Records and apply the following filter:

Filter

Operator

Value

ad partner (3p)

equals

a_moloco

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

Verifying Cost Data

To verify that cost data is flowing into Branch, you need to have the following:

  • Completed all implementation steps above

  • You need to already be live with campaigns running for the ad network

  • Wait 24 hours for data to be pulled in
