At a glance: Swrve, an AppsFlyer integrated partner, is a cross-platform customer interaction engine, allowing advertisers to deliver targeted, personal and optimized interactions to end-users:
- Dynamic optimization and testing of core app content
- In-app and push notification campaigns
Alongside AppsFlyer, Swrve provides a complete lifecycle solution for maximizing the ROI on development and acquisition spend, and delivers outstanding user experiences throughout the mobile app journey. That includes customizing user experience based on acquisition source shared between the two platforms, meaning users can be served content specific to their user journey from the moment they open the app for the first time.
The integration works by notifying Swrve of installs to their API using their REST API. To do so, you will need to set up a server postback in your AppsFlyer account for each one of your mobile apps.
Important!
Some media sources restrict sharing data with third parties. Therefore, postbacks for restricted events won't be sent to this partner, regardless of the configured selection for sending postbacks.

[[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker].customerUserID = swrve_user_id];Appsflyer.setCustomerUserID(SwrveComponent.Instance.SDK.UserId);Step 2: Set a postback in your AppsFlyer dashboard by performing the following actions:
