AppsFlyer

To set up attribution postbacks for AppsFlyer, add your Chartboost app ID and app signature to the AppsFlyer dashboard under Chartboost S2S.

Toggle the Activate Partner switch. This setting activates both attribution and postbacks. Accordingly, turning off this switch will immediately halt postbacks and reporting of new installs and events in the Partner Dashboard.

Below you'll find an example of the minimum required settings for advertising with Chartboost.

Caution

Be sure to double-check that you've copied the correct App ID and Signature from the Dashboard.

Caution

  • If your app has a significant (100K+ DAUs) existing user base, we recommend setting the Sending Option to All media sources, including organic' for a few weeks to improve negative targeting during onboarding (a device id list to process manually can also be shared as an alternative).
  • If your app is using probabilistic matching/SKAN, 'Advanced Privacy OFF' should be selected in the AppsFlyer dashboard.
