Postback Settings

Airbridge collects data and shares it with ad channels via postbacks. The data includes details such as event name, event timestamp, and more.

Using the data sent via postbacks from Airbridge to ad channels, you can optimize campaigns and make strategic decisions about budget allocation.

Postback Configuration

The access level varies depending on your app role in Airbridge:

  • Owner and In-House Marketer users can configure postbacks.

  • Agency and Media Partner users, if authorized, can view postback URLs.

To configure postbacks, navigate to the [Postback] tab of each ad channel’s page in the Airbridge dashboard.

How to submit postback integration key

Note

There may be multiple authentication credentials for postback settings, such as different credentials per OS. Depending on the ad channel, you may not need to enter all authentication credentials to set up postbacks successfully.

Some ad channels require postback integration key to receive postbacks. Get the key from the respective ad channel, navigate to [Postback]>[Integration Info] or [Postback]>[Event Schema], and click Configuration to submit the key.

Below is the list of ad channels that require postback integration key. For detailed instructions on getting the key, refer to the articles that provide instructions for integration per ad channel.

How to select postback events

Select events to send via postbacks and configure the delivery rules.

1. Navigate to [Postback]>[Event Schema] and click Configuration. Submit the postback integration key if necessary, and select the events to send via postbacks.

The events must have been predetermined to be sent by Airbridge and the ad channel. To send events that are not predetermined, you need to create postback URLs.

2. Configure delivery rules for selected events. Click the [gear] icon to specify the events subject to each delivery rule.

The delivery rules are divided into 2 categories, and only 1 rule per category can be configured for each event. Therefore, the selected events are subject to a total of 2 rules.

For more details about the delivery rules and categories, refer to the below.

For effective retargeting campaigns, it is recommended that you send all collected events via postback, regardless of their attribution results or recurrence. Limiting postback to attributed events may affect the optimization of retargeting campaigns targeted at potential users.

To send all events, configure the delivery rules as below:

  • Attributed to: Send all events regardless of attribution results

  • First only: Send all collected events

3. After configuring the rules, click Save.
