Sample CSV File

Example CSV File

🚧 Case Sensitivity

Please be aware that data in columns with a type defined as 'string' is case-sensitive.

Note that Airbridge records mobile OS names as 'Android' and 'iOS'. When uploading your data, it's essential to use 'Android' and 'iOS' for OS names. Failure to do so may result in separate rows in the dashboard when data is grouped by results. Please adhere to this naming convention for consistency and accurate data representation.

Overwrite (correct) Previously Ingested Ad Spend

Previously ingested ad spend can be overwritten by using CSV files that contain data with the identical key of data previously ingested.

The key is formed from the 'date', 'channel', and 'campaign' fields. If the keys match, data ingested last overwrites data previously ingested.

[Example A]

1. 2022-08-03: Upload data for date, channel, campaign, and ad_group.

date	channel	campaign	ad_group	currency	clicks	impressions	cost
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_female	KRW	1000	10000	100000
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_male	KRW	800	12000	80000

2. 2022-08-04: Upload data for date, channel and campaign.

date	channel	campaign	currency	clicks	impressions	cost
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	KRW	2000	20000	150000

3. Result: Spend data from '2022-08-03' was overwritten by spend data from '2022-08-04' because '2022-08-04' was last ingested and the identical key is the same. (ad group is overwritten null)

date	channel	campaign	currency	clicks	impressions	cost
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	KRW	2000	20000	150000

[Example B]

2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_female	KRW	2000	20000	150000

3. Result: Spend data from '2022-08-03' was overwritten by spend data from '2022-08-04' because '2022-08-04' was last ingested and the identical key is the same.

date	channel	campaign	ad_group	currency	clicks	impressions	cost
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_female	KRW	2000	20000	150000

[Example C]

2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_female	KRW	1000	10000	100000
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_male	KRW	800	12000	80000

2. 2022-08-04: Upload data for date, channel, campaign and ad_group

Overwrite Previously Ingested Metric Data

Previously ingested metric data can be overwritten by using CSV files that contain data with the identical key of data previously ingested.

The key is formed from the 'date', 'channel', and 'event_category' fields. If the keys match, data ingested last overwrites data previously ingested.

[Example A]

1. 2022-08-03: Upload for date, channel, campaign and ad_group.

date	channel	campaign	ad_group	event_category	event_value
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_female	self_event	100000
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	2030_male	self_event	80000

date	channel	campaign	event_category	event_value
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	self_event	150000

3. Result: Spend data from '2022-08-03' was overwritten by data from '2022-08-04' because '2022-08-04' was last ingested and the identical key is the same. (ad group is overwritten null)

date	channel	campaign	event_category	event_value
2022-08-01	owned_website	retargeting_campaign	self_event	150000
