How to Integrate MAAS with Appsflyer

﻿#1 Setting Up Retargeting Campaign for the First Time﻿
If this is the first retargeting campaign you are setting up with Appsflyer, please enable 'Retargeting Campaign Measurement' for each of your apps, within the app settings in the Appsflyer Dashboard Tracking Link section. 
When enabled, AppsFlyer will recognize the link as 'retargeting', rather than a standard user acquisition link by adding '&is_retargeting=true' to the tracking link.
﻿#2 How to Set Up your Campaign﻿
To track impression and click activity on your AppsFlyer dashboard, choose and set up a campaign from the 'Integrated Partners' page. 
Remember, if you want to set up separate campaigns for Android and iOS, follow these steps for each app - 
Go to the Integrations tab and click on Go to Integrated Partners page for the app you want to set up. 
﻿
2. Go to the Integrated Partners page for the app you wish to set up. Search for Campaign Name and click on the Edit button on the right. 
On the Integration tab, check the following - 
1. General Settings
Ensure Enable View-Through attribution is on 
2. Default Postbacks
Event Name: Install - Sending Option is set to events attributed to any partner or organic. 
Event Name: Re-engagement - Sending Option is only set to events attributed to this partner. 
3. In-App Events Postback

﻿#3 How to Set Up Events Forwarding﻿

Click on the 'Add Event' button 
Select an event from the SDK Event Name dropdown* section 
Set the exact same event name as Partner Event Identifier 
Enable Send Revenue if available**

﻿#4 How to Set Up Tracking URLs and Attribution Windows﻿
 To generate click and impression trackers with regular deep linking for your campaigns, 
Choose and edit your campaign from the Integrated Partners list for the desired app. 
Go to thw Tracking Link tab and enable Retargeting Settings. 
Select 'Use a Standard Tracking Link' and input your deep link URL. 
﻿
The deep link URL will direct the browser, indicating where the user will be redirected upon clicking within your app. 
To set up attribution windows for your app, 
Attribution windows are identified by the af_click_lookback= and af_viewthrough_lookback= parameters and can be edited in the Tracking Link tab for the selected partner. 
Please note that changing these settings will generate new tracking links in real-time, but will not directly update any tracking links you may have already sent to your campaign team.
