Prerequisites

In order to enable ironSource, you need to have completed the following:

  1. Created a Branch Dashboard.
  2. Enabled Universal Ads for your Branch account.
  3. Implemented the Branch SDK into your mobile app (iOS | Android)
  4. Running campaigns through ironSource.

Enable ironSource

1. Enable ironSource in Branch

In the Branch Dashboard under Ads > Partner Management, find/search for ironSource. If you're already logged into the Branch Dashboard, you can also click here to go there directly.

Click the Save & Enable button.

2. Configure Postbacks

Enabling ironSource will automatically enable the following postbacks:

  • INSTALL
  • OPEN
  • PURCHASE
  • ACHIEVE_LEVEL
  • COMPLETE REGISTRATION
  • COMPLETE TUTORIAL

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:

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