Overview

Accurately attribute impressions, ad clicks, app installs, and in-app events to evaluate campaign performance for each of your partners.

EVENTS SENT TO DATA PARTNER

The events Branch sends to third party data tools varies based on the events the partner supports as well as whether or not you've implemented the Branch SDK to measure said events.

CleverTap supports the following events:

  • Installs
  • Lifecycle Events
  • Commerce Events
  • Content Events
  • Custom Events

Non-referred events, clicks, web session starts, and pageviews will be excluded. Branch also sends all the data that is attached to the link that drove the referred event. This will allow you to analyze which campaigns, channels, etc. are helping you acquire and engage users.

4. Pass ID/Metadata to Branch

Clevertap requires you to pass through the correct identifiers to the Branch SDKs. In order to do so, retrieve the ID from the Clevertap SDK and pass this value to Branch using the following method:

  • setRequestMetadataKey() method of the Branch SDKs:
///Inside `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`

Branch *branch = [Branch getInstance];
[CleverTap autoIntegrate];
[[Branch getInstance] setRequestMetadataKey:@"$clevertap_attribution_id"
value:[[CleverTap sharedInstance] profileGetCleverTapAttributionIdentifier]];
///Inside `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`

CleverTap.autoIntegrate()
if let branch = Branch.getInstance() {
    branch.setRequestMetadataKey("$clevertap_attribution_id", value:CleverTap.sharedInstance()?profileGetCleverTapAttributionIdentifier() as NSObject!);
}
///Before you initialize in your Application `#onCreate` or Deep Link Activity’s `#onCreate`

Branch branch = Branch.getInstance();
branch.setRequestMetadata("$clevertap_attribution_id",
cleverTapInstance.getCleverTapAttributionIdentifier());
