Campaign Tracking via Install Referrer - Meta Ads
Note
Your Meta ads performance data is available as "facebook.business" channel data in Airbridge.
The Google Play Install Referrer and the Meta install referrer provide you with a more complete picture of your Meta Android Campaign performance.
Attention
The Airbridge Android SDK must be installed in your app in advance to use the Google Play Install Referrer and the Meta install referrer.
To collect the meta install referrer data, the Airbridge Android SDK must be properly configured by your developer before entering the decryption key.
Airbridge will read the install referrer data using the Install Referrer Decryption Key. There will be no duplicate data between the Meta install referrer and Google Play Install Referrer.
