Moloco
Airbridge supports integration with Moloco, including cost integration and agency settings. Owner and In-house Marketer users and authorized Agency users can access Moloco campaign data in the Airbridge dashboard.
Navigate to [Integrations]>[Ad Channel Integration] in your Airbridge dashboard and select “MOLOCO.” In the [Tracking Link] tab, you can create and manage tracking links to measure the performance of your Moloco campaigns.
For detailed instructions on creating and managing tracking links in Airbridge, refer to the articles below.
Attention
Set up postback before using tracking links. Postback must be set up before data collection to ensure all collected data is sent to the ad channel. If not, data collected through tracking links will not be sent to the ad channel.
In the [Attribution Rules] tab, you can configure the lookback window and attribution window for Moloco. Click Go to edit page to move to the [Management]>[Attribution Rules] page, where you can edit attribution rules.
Refer to this article for detailed instructions on configuring the lookback window and attribution window.

To disable the integration, switch off the cost integration toggle. No data will be pulled once the integration is disabled. Data already pulled into Airbridge is not affected.
The account information remains saved to Airbridge unless you remove the ad account from the integrated account list. By switching back the toggle on, the cost integration is enabled again with existing account information.
Click the […] icon and click Delete to delete an ad account from the integrated ad account list.
If you want to reconnect the deleted ad account, you need to add the ad account and set up the connection from the beginning.
Upon submitting your ad account information to Airbridge, you can check if the integration is running. The status may show “Waiting” even when the account is successfully added if no data has been pulled yet.
For more details on the integration status and data import schedule, refer to the below information.
Attention
Complete cost integration before you run campaigns on ad channels. Airbridge can start receiving cost data only after the integration is complete. Any ad spend data generated before cost integration won’t be imported to Airbridge.
The integration status shows your cost integration and data update status at a glance.
To ensure accuracy, Airbridge pulls the cost data several times throughout the day.
Frequency: Every 4 hours, 6 times a day starting 3:00 PM (UTC)
Schedule: 3:00 PM, 7:00 PM, 11:00 PM, 3:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 11:00 AM (UTC)
Data pulled: Cost data from the past 7 days, from D-1 to D-7
The last data update time is found under “Last Updated” in the integrated account list.
The cost data pulled from Moloco can be viewed in Airbridge reports using the metrics and GroupBys below.
Difference between Clicks and Clicks (Channel) metrics
The Clicks and Clicks (Channel) metrics both indicate the number of ad clicks, but their data collection methods differ.
Clicks: Data collected through Airbridge tracking links
Clicks (Channel): Data provided by Integrated Channels
All metrics with (Channel) in their names reflect the measurement reported by Integrated Channels. This rule applies to Impression and Impression (Channel) metrics as well.
Note
The Airbridge report supports the following GroupBys to visualize the data imported through cost integration. The GroupBys available for each channel vary.
How to view your Moloco creative group data in Airbridge
Moloco, by default, shares information about creative groups via cost integration. However, Airbridge has consulted with Moloco to provide it using the “Sub Sub Publisher 3” GroupBy.
In the [Postback] tab, you can configure postbacks and determine which in-app events and attribution results to send as postbacks. The data collected with the Airbridge SDK and tracking links enables you to optimize campaigns and make strategic decisions about budget allocation.
For more details on postback settings, refer to this article.
Attention
If you are sending events to Airbridge via S2S API, make sure to include the app's package name (
app.packageName). This value is required for Moloco to successfully receive postbacks from Airbridge.
If you are running web campaigns and want to send web postbacks to Moloco, it is advised to collect cookie IDs through the Airbridge SDK. For the necessary setup, refer to the below link.
Read the following information before enabling cost integration with Moloco.
Airbridge pulls the cost data from the past 7 days, every 4 hours, 6 times a day, starting at 3:00 PM (UTC). As the updates are not real-time, there may be data discrepancies between Airbridge and the ad channel, depending on the time of inquiry.
The Cost (Channel) metric, which shows your ad spend reported by the ad channel, displays value only when used with specific GroupBys.
Below are the GroupBys that can be used in the Actuals Report to view data with the metric:
Channel
Campaign
Ad Group
Ad Creative
Depending on the data reported, the metric may not display any value even if you use the GroupBys above.
The data pulled via cost integration is provided by the app time zone and app standard currency set within Airbridge.
To minimize data discrepancy, align your app’s currency and time zone settings in your Airbridge dashboard and your ad channel’s dashboard.
Once the cost integration is enabled, the following campaign details are advised not to be edited to avoid any error in pulling data into Airbridge.
Campaign name
Ad group name
Ad creative name
Airbridge can start receiving cost data only after the integration is complete. Any ad spend data generated before cost integration won’t be imported to Airbridge.
