How does it work?

  1. Branch connects with Yahoo for running app campaigns.
  2. User sees an ad to download app.
  3. User installs the app and converts.
  4. Branch communicates with the ad network via API integration to see if they will claim attribution.
    • If Yahoo claims attribution, they will respond back to Branch with event details.
  5. The Branch Dashboard will update reports for you to be able to compare and measure ad campaigns across platforms, ad set name, ad partner, etc.
