ironSource

    Airbridge supports integration with ironSource. With the integration, you can track and measure the performance of your ironSource campaigns in Airbridge.

    Navigate to [Integrations]>[Ad Channel Integration] in your Airbridge dashboard and select ironSource. In the [Tracking Link] tab, you can create and manage tracking links to measure the performance of your ironSource 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.

    Cost Integration Setup

    Airbridge supports cost integration with ironSource. Receive ad spend data from ironSource and analyze campaign performance in Airbridge.

    Get credentials from ironSource

    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.

    1. Log in to the ironSource dashboard and click the account icon.

    2. In the [My Account] screen, go to the [API] tab. You will find your Advertiser ID, Secret Key, and Refresh Token there.

    Provide the credentials to Airbridge

    Follow the steps below to register your ironSource credentials in the Airbridge dashboard.

    1. In the Airbridge dashboard, go to [Integration]>[Ad Channel Integration] and select ironSource.

    2. Open the [Cost Integration] tab, toggle on [ironSource Cost Integration], and click Add an account.

    3. Enter the Advertiser ID, Secret Key, and Refresh Token found in ironSource into the corresponding fields, then click Done.

    4. 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”.

    Integration Management

    Refer to the following instructions to edit or delete your integration details.

    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.

    Integration Status

    After registering the credentials, you can check if integration is successfully enabled. 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.

    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.

    Cost Data in Airbridge Reports

    The cost data received from ironSource 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.
