Intergrated Channels

Integrated channels refer to paid ad channels that have been integrated with Airbridge to forward postbacks. You can track and measure their performance using integrated channel tracking links.

The integrated channels can be found on the [Integrations]>[Ad Channel Integration] page. You can also refer to this article. If you can’t find the ad channel you want to integrate your Airbridge App from the integrated channel list, share the media partner registration form with the ad channel.

Custom Channels

Custom channels refer to owned media, earned media, and paid ad channels not integrated with Airbridge, such as the official webpage, social platforms, emails, etc. You can track and measure their performance using custom channel tracking links. Airbridge supports various tracking link functionalities for custom channels, such as QR code, social share preview, link short ID, and Airpage.
