## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

### **▸ Is it mandatory to install the Airbridge SDK?**

Yes. The Airbridge SDK performs several critical functions:

* Collects essential attribution data required for performance analysis
* Enables deeplinking by routing users to specific in-app pages
* Collects in-app conversion events generated by user actions

To fully utilize all Airbridge features, installing the SDK is required.

***

### ▸ When can Airbridge be fully used after app deployment?

Once the app version containing the Airbridge SDK is deployed, Airbridge can collect:

* App installs
* Deeplink opens
* App opens
* Other conversion events

However, the point at which Airbridge can be used most effectively depends on the type of campaign being run.

### 📌 App Install Campaigns

* Campaigns can be launched immediately after deploying the SDK-enabled app.
* For **rewarded install campaigns**, it is recommended to allow sufficient time after deployment before launching campaigns.

[▶ Why does Airbridge record more install events than internal data after deployment?](/ko/guides/5-appendix-faq-notes#a-3-4-report-and-analysis)

### 📌 Retargeting (Re-engagement) Campaigns

* Stable retargeting requires a sufficiently high proportion of users to be on an app version that includes the Airbridge SDK.
* Conversion events from users on older app versions without the SDK cannot be accurately tracked.
* If rapid retargeting is required, consider encouraging app updates or enforcing a mandatory update.
