It depends on the type of tracking link. For tracking links for integrated channels, there is no character limit for parameter values. For tracking links for custom channels, each parameter value has a maximum limit of 128 characters.

Upper and lower case letters, numbers, ., -, and _ are supported.

Other characters that can be used include spaces, %, $, !, [ ], { }, < >, |, and Japanese punctuation. However, note that tracking links with these characters might not work properly.

Characters not mentioned above are not supported.

Some tracking links may not have the ad_type parameter.

The default setting for tracking links without the ad_type parameter is ad_type=click, which means the touchpoint type is ad click.

When you create a tracking link for an Integrated Channel on the [Link Generation] page, parameters such as Sub-publisher and Sub-sub publisher 1 are added.

These parameters are pre-determined by the channel and Airbridge to receive the parameter values provided by the channel. You can edit the parameter values, but it is advised to use them without editing.

Yes, when appending parameters to the short link version of a tracking link, the parameters will also be appended to the long link version.

However, note that appending campaign parameters won't have any effect on the tracking link. The appended campaign parameters won't be used for data aggregation.

Let's say, you have the short link version and the long link version of a tracking link like the following.

• Short link version: https://abr.ge/ouocog

• Long link version: https://abr.ge/@your_app/channel?ad_creative=Jeans_Clothes&ad_group=2030_female&campaign=Summer_Sales&og_tag_id=103833519

If you append a campaign parameter (campaign) and a custom parameter (added_param) to the short link version, the same parameters will be automatically appended to the long link version link the following.

• Short link version:

  https://abr.ge/ouocog?campaign=Spring_Sales&added_params=Promotion

• Long link version:

  https://abr.ge/@your_app/channel?ad_creative=Jeans_Clothes&ad_group=2030_female&campaign=Summer_Sales&og_tag_id=103833519&campaign=Spring_Sales&added_params=Promotion

Note that Airbridge won't use the newly appended campaign parameter value, which is "Spring_Sales," for data aggregation. The original campaign parameter value, which is "Summer_Sales" will be used.

When the service contract ends, the current tracking links will no longer work.

Some of the destinations you can set as redirect paths for tracking links when creating tracking links on the [Tracking Link]>[Link Generation] page may not be activated depending on the Airbridge App mode that was configured when registering the Airbridge App. Refer to the information below to learn what destinations can be set depending on the different modes.

Production mode

Production mode apps are apps that have been released or are soon to be released that you want to measure ad performance for.

• For apps after release, the app store page option is active for the app's service environment. You can also enter the web URL of the app store page. To set the [App (Deep Link)] option, enter the deep link details that can be found on the [Tracking Link]>[Deep Links] page in the Airbridge dashboard. For more information, refer to this article. The website can be configured for all service environments.

• For apps before release, the app store page option is not active. The option can be activated when the app is released and the app store page URL is entered on the

  [Settings]>[App Settings] page. You can also enter the web URL of the app store page. To set the [App (Deep Link)] option, enter the deep link details that can be found on the [Tracking Link]>[Deep Links] page in the Airbridge dashboard. For more information, refer to this article. The website can also be configured for all service environments.

Development mode

Development mode apps are apps in testing and staging environments where you're not measuring the actual ad performance.

• For development mode apps, the app store page option is not active, but you can enter the web URL of the app store page for all service environments.

• To set the [App (Deep Link)] option, enter the deep link details found on the [Tracking Link]>[Deep Links] page in the Airbridge dashboard. You can enter only the web URL as the fallback path of the deep link. For more information, refer to this article. The website can be configured for all service environments.

Yes, you can. A short link ID that has already been used can be reused for a different tracking link. Since the short link ID reflects the tracking link's settings such as redirection and data collection, when grouping by short link ID in reports, data for the same short link ID may appear separated into before and after the reuse. Also note that the original tracking link that used the short link ID will also operate according to the new tracking link's settings.

If no UTM parameters are added to a web URL during tracking link creation, Airbridge automatically adds them when users are redirected. This applies to [Web URL] of each platform and [Web URL] fallback paths used when deep linking fails. If you added UTM parameters to a web URL, only those parameters will remain in the redirected web URL.

Below is the error message that appears when you click [Generate Tracking Links] without entering the App Name and Tracking Link API Token in the [Required info] tab. Navigate to [Settings]>[Tokens] in the Airbridge dashboard to find the App Name and Tracking Link API Token.

Check whether the channel name is entered correctly in the Channel column in the Generator Template for Custom Channels. Short link generation is only supported for custom channels. Therefore, if you enter an integrated channel name that can be looked up on the [Integrations]>[Ad Channel Integration] page, short links will not be generated.

If any column in the Generator Template is deleted, the tracking links cannot be generated properly. If you have multiple empty columns, we suggest hiding them with [Hide columns] to see your entries better.

You cannot edit the parameter values in the gray fields in the [Change parameters] tab. If you want to edit a parameter value of a tracking link, you must first delete the tracking link from the [Create Tracking Links] tab and create the tracking link again with the new parameter value. The tracking link with the new parameter value will be made visible in the [Change parameters] tab. If you can’t find it, select the link name again in a different row than the one where the previous tracking link version existed.

Yes, you can. A short link ID that has already been used can be reused for a different tracking link. Since the short link ID reflects the tracking link's settings such as redirection and data collection, when grouping by short link ID in reports, data for the same short link ID may appear separated into before and after the reuse. Also note that the original tracking link that used the short link ID will also operate according to the new tracking link's settings.

Yes, you can. However, the deleted tracking links will be deleted from the list only. Tracking links deleted from the [Link Management] will continue to function normally.

This happens because we cache and store the previous path. It may take up to 10 minutes before the modified path is applied to the tracking link. Check again after about 10 minutes to see whether users are sent to the new path.
