AppsFlyer - Platform Compatible​

1. Overview​
Please ensure you have initialized the Rangersapplog SDK to connect third-party attribution
partners.​
1. Data Connection​
Create a Push API in AppsFlyer and configure address provided by DataFinder that allows you to
set up automated callbacks via an integration to receive activations, advertising channels,
device information etc at DataFinder. ​
2. Attribution​
Data sent by AppsFlyer includes the click time (i.e. The time when a device was used to click on
an ad). However, as DataFinder can also be used to monitor other advertising channels
DataFinder will recalculate reattibution based on data it received from all channeels using
last_click attribution.​
This means that after receiving callbacks from all third-party attribution partners, DataFinder
will conduct the attribution analysis for all channels using the last_click time (i.e. Only the last
click on the ad prior to activation will be attributed).​
For example, if a user clicks on an ad 3 times before activation, the click distribution and
attribution results will be as follows:​
