Branch

This guide describes how to add and configure Branch integration.
​Branch is a platform to increase mobile revenue with enterprise-grade links built to acquire, engage, and measure across all devices, channels, and platforms.
How does Integration Work?
This integration works in two ways.
1. Receive Attribution Data from Branch
Once you successfully configured Branch integration, Apphud will receive attribution data from it. You can view this data on user's page:
2. Send Subscription Events to Branch
Apphud can also send all subscription events to Branch. So you could view these events in Branch dashboard and Branch could pass this data to their partners. This will help to measure efficiency of your ad campaigns.
