Airbridge supports cost integration with ironSource. You can send Airbridge data to ironSource to optimize campaigns, or receive ad spend data from ironSource to analyze campaign performance in Airbridge.
To integrate with ironSource, you need to find the credentials from ironSource and enter them into Airbridge.
You need the following 3 credentials from the ironSource dashboard.
Advertiser ID
Secret Key
Refresh Token
Follow the steps below to find them. If you have multiple apps to track, request the credentials for each app from ironSource.
Log in to the ironSource dashboard and click the account icon.
In the [My Account] screen, go to the [API] tab. You will find your Advertiser ID, Secret Key, and Refresh Token there.
Follow the steps below to enter your ironSource credentials in the Airbridge dashboard.
In the Airbridge dashboard, go to [Integration]>[Ad Channel Integration] and select ironSource.
Open the [Cost Integration] tab, toggle on [ironSource Cost Integration], and click Add an account.
Enter the Advertiser ID, Secret Key, and Refresh Token found in ironSource into the corresponding fields, then click Done.
The integrated ironSource account will appear in the Airbridge dashboard. For up to 4 hours, the account status will show as “Pending”. Once cost data starts syncing to Airbridge, the status will change to “Success”.
Refer to the following instructions to edit or delete your integration details.
Turn off the toggle to pause the integration. Airbridge stops collecting cost data once the integration is paused.
Any data collected before the pause remains available in Airbridge reports.
Airbridge retains the credentials of the integrated account, so you can resume the integration at any time by turning the toggle on. However, deleting the integrated account removes these credentials.
Select the account from the integrated account list and click Delete to remove the account.
To re-integrate the account after deletion, set up the integration from the beginning.
After entering the credentials, you can check if the integration is running. Even when the account is successfully added, the status may remain “Pending” until Airbridge actually receives the first data.
For more details on the integration status and data import schedule, refer to the below information.
Frequency: Every 4 hours, 6 times a day, starting at 3:00 PM UTC
Import times: 3:00 PM, 7:00 PM, 11:00 PM, 3:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 11:00 AM UTC
Data range: Past 7 days, from D-1 to D-7
[Last Updated] shows the last time Airbridge actually received the data.
The cost data received from ironSource can be viewed in Airbridge reports using the metrics and GroupBys below.
Difference between Clicks and Clicks (Channel)
Both Clicks and Clicks (Channel) show click count, but the data source differs:
Clicks: Collected through Airbridge tracking links
Clicks (Channel): Provided by the ad channel
Any metric with (Channel) in its name represents data provided by the integrated ad channel. The same applies to Impressions and Impressions (Channel).
Note
Use the groupBys below to break down cost data in Airbridge reports. Available groupBys vary by ad channel.
