Introduction
Iconpeak, one of AppsFlyer's integrated partners, is a fully managed performance marketing service helping agencies, brands, and app developers scale their user acquisition.
In addition to click-based mobile attribution, Iconpeak also offers cost and view-through attribution, which you can track with AppsFlyer.
To configure your campaigns with Iconpeak, follow the steps below.
Setting Up Iconpeak
Go to the dashboard of your app and click on Integrated Partners on the left bar.
Enter "Iconpeak" in the search field and click on its logo to open Iconpeak's configuration window.
Iconpeak's configuration window includes 4 tabs: Integration, Tracking link, Data enrichment and Permissions. Click on the items below to read about the tabs setup.

Integration Tab
The Integration Tab is divided into different sections as described below.
General Settings
Partner ID
Iconpeak connects with AppsFlyer via a unique Security Token. If you don't already have the it, you must obtain it from Iconpeak to continue with the integration.
Enable View-Through attribution
Toggle this to ON if you want to attribute view-through installs from Iconpeak. The view-through lookback slider is available on the tracking link tab (described below).
Default Postbacks
AppsFlyer can send automatic postbacks to Iconpeak following user installs and re-engagements. Use this section to define the source of the users that allow sending these postbacks.
Select Only events attributed to this partner for events coming only from users attributed to Iconpeak.
In-App Events Settings
In this section you can map your AppsFlyer events with Iconpeak via postbacks.
- Enter the Security Token again.
- Toggle In-App Event Postbacks to ON
- Select the Sending Option for all SDK defined events.
- Only events attributed to this partner for events coming only from users attributed to this partner
- Events attributed to any partner or organic to have your entire user base available to be reported to the partner - Click Add Event to add an SDK Event to the list
- Complete the following parameters:
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SDK Event Name | The name of the event, as received by AppsFlyer either from the SDK integrated in your app, or from server to server events. Tip - If you don't see the event you want in the list, make sure to activate the event on a device with a non-organic installation and recheck. |
| Partner Event Identifier | The unique name or ID of each event as defined on Iconpeak's side. Obtain the corresponding Event ID from Iconpeak and set in the text field. |
| Send Revenue | When unchecked - AppsFlyer sends all the parameters of the rich in-app event to the partner, except for the revenue parameter, which is contained in the af_revenue parameter. When checked - AppsFlyer sends all the parameters including the revenue value (if it exists in the event). |
Tracking Link Tab
Note
For all SRNs, such as Facebook, Apple Search Ads, Adwords, Snapchat etc. this tab is not functional, as they do not use external tracking links.
This tab is divided into different sections:
Tracking Link Parameters
In this section, select which parameters you want to add to the tracking link.
Adding parameters to the tracking link here enables you to later perform thorough drill-down analyses. Parameters that are already defined on the tracking link can be edited by adding them and their new values here.
- Campaign - add it to compare different campaigns running with Iconpeak.
Tracking link parameter: c - Adset - set ad set names to compare different ad sets within specific Iconpeak campaigns.
Tracking link parameter: af_adset - Ad Name - set ad set names to compare different creatives within specific ad sets within specific campaigns Iconpeak.
Tracking link parameter: af_ad - Site ID and Sub Site ID - set Site ID parameter to attribute installs to specific publishers. If many publishers exist, we advise on limiting the number of used site IDs and using the sub site ID parameter, to avoid exceeding the site ID limitations.
Tracking link parameters: af_siteid and af_sub_siteid - Subscriber Parameters - use any of the 5 subscriber parameters to insert useful values. Note that these parameters get parsed and appear in the raw data report, which makes them very handy for performing data aggregation or filtering.
Tracking link parameters: af_sub1, af_sub2, af_sub3, af_sub4, af_sub5
Add any other parameter to the tracking link simply by typing it in a new parameter box. For more information about AppsFlyer's Tracking Link Structure and Parameters.

Click Tracking Link
This is the tracking link that contains all the setup information you have set for it. Send it to Iconpeak to be activated when leads click on a corresponding ad.
View-Through Attribution Lookback Window
This slider allows you to set the maximum time from impression to install. Only installs (first launches) that take place within this lookback window, following an ad impression, are attributed to Iconpeak, providing there was no other relevant ad click.
You can customize this value to 1-23 hours or 1-7 days.
Tracking link parameter: af_viewthrough_lookback

Impressions Tracking Link
The impression tracking link contains similar attribution data to the click tracking link (besides the different lookback window). Send it to Iconpeak to be activated when a corresponding ad is watched, usually for 1 second or more.
Data Enrichment Tab
Iconpeak automatically sends CPI cost data on the tracking link for all installs.
Permissions Tab
In this tab, you can select the permissions to grant Iconpeak, whether the partner acts as an ad network, agency or even both. Note that even if attribution is disabled for Iconpeak, the permissions tab is active and you can grant control to Iconpeak.
