Set up Precog for App
Precog for App is an analytics network integrated with Adjust. Our integration lets Precog for App receive attribution and in-app event data through automated callbacks. Use this data with the partners' tools for analytics and insights.
In this article, learn how to set up measurement with Precog for App for your app. This includes activating the integration and choosing what data Adjust can share with Precog for App.
Before you begin
Requirements
- Admin, Editor, or Custom Editor permissions in Adjust.
- Adjust SDK v4.0.0 and later to map SDK parameters to Precog for App parameters. Follow the guides linked below to use this feature.
iOS / Android / Windows / Unity / React Native / Flutter / Adobe Air / Cordova / Marmalade / Xamarin / Cocos2d-x / Titanium / Corona
Credentials
API KEY, DATABASE NAME, and TABLE NAME
- For help finding your credentials, contact your Precog for App representative.
Select Precog for App and your app in Campaign Lab
- Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
- Select New partner > Precog for App. Select Next to move to the next screen.
- In the App selection screen, choose the app for which you want to create the link, and enable the integration to share data with Precog for App.
- Select Next.
Enable data sharing
Enable data sharing to activate the integration with Precog for App. To enable data sharing:
- Enter your API KEY, DATABASE NAME, and TABLE NAME.
Once you enable data sharing with Precog for App, Adjust automatically sends Precog for App the following data, by default:
- click
- impression
- install
- session
- uninstall
- reinstall
- reattributionReinstall
- reattribution
Set your data sharing options
If you’re working with a multi-platform app with data sharing enabled for multiple platforms, you can:
- Separate data sharing options at the platform-level by selecting Use platform-specific settings.
- Set the same data sharing settings for multiple platforms by selecting Use global settings.
Now, under What will be shared by default?, review the activities that Adjust shares with Precog for App by default:
- click
- impression
- install
- session
- uninstall
- reinstall
- reattributionReinstall
- reattribution
Send additional data
Choose the amount and type of data that you want to share with Precog for App through callbacks. Precog for App may use this information to optimize performance.
To send additional data, you can review and customize the following:
In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)
Sharing in-app revenue lets Precog for App receive revenue amounts along with your revenue event data. You need to map events that generate revenue to share this data.
Uninstalls or reinstalls
Sharing uninstalls or reinstalls lets Precog for App receive your app’s uninstall and/or reinstall data measured by Adjust.
For iOS apps, you might expect a low record of uninstalls and/or reinstalls. For more information, visit Uninstall and reinstall measurement.
Sessions
Adjust does not automatically send session callbacks due to the high volume of sessions. Sharing sessions means Precog for App will receive your app’s session activity.
Map parameters
You usually need to map parameters to share custom data with Precog for App.
Map events
Map events that you want to share to the values that Precog for App can receive. Data for unmapped events is not shared with Precog for App.
Under Map events, follow these steps to choose the in-app events you want to directly send to Precog for App.
- Select Map event.
- In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with Precog for App.
- In the Partner event list, choose or enter a custom event name that you want to map the Adjust event to. You might have to map an event to several values.
- Select Apply.
Now Precog for App will receive in-app event data for each of your linked events.
Map parameters
Partner parameters (available in Adjust SDK version 4.0+) let Adjust collect custom data points from your app and send them to Precog for App. This lets Precog for App receive custom event details for each of your linked events.
Before adding new partner parameters to the Adjust SDK, make sure no pre-existing partner parameters already fit your requirements.
To share partner parameters to Precog for App, follow these steps.
- Set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK: iOS, Android
- Check the Parameters data sharing checkbox.
- Map your events.
If you set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK without setting up parameter sharing in the dashboard, Adjust forwards the parameters as named in the Adjust SDK.
Enable Precog for App for your app
In the Setup review screen, you can review your choices. You can also go back and make changes to:
- Your selected app
- Data sharing options
Select Enable partner to enable Precog for App for your app. Analytics partners don't work with links for campaigns. Once enabled, our integration sends attribution and in-app event data via automated callbacks.
