AppsFlyer webhook

This article gives you knowledge of how webhooks send information from AppsFlyer to Meiro Events.

 

AppsFlyer is the world’s leading mobile attribution and marketing analytics platform, helping app marketers around the world make better decisions. AppsFlyer provides a unique data source for the segmentation of your customer profiles. Drive richer targeting and improve your customer retention by using insights from AppsFlyer.

Requirements

You need to get the appsflyer_id, which is the mandatory parameter in server-to-server event messages.

Feature

The AppsFlyer webhook doesn't support multi-events in one HTTP request, which means each event must be sent as a separate event.


In order to process the event correctly, it is important to ensure that the JSON query you send as a response to the trigger is stringified, as in the example: {\"af_revenue\":\"6\" ,\"af_content_type\":\"wallets\"} .

Examples of events in AppsFlyer include:

  • New subscriber (triggered when a user completes the signup process)

  • Last viewed product (triggered when a user views a specific product details page)

  • Recommended product (triggered when a user adds items to their wishlist)

  • Abandoned basket (triggered when a user initiates the checkout but didn't yet complete it)

  • Successful bill payment (triggered when a user conducts payments)

Example data

Use cases
