General settings
Account ID and App ID
LINE Ads Platform connects with AppsFlyer via a unique account and app ID, LINE_Ad_account_id, and LINE_Ad_app_ID.
To connect your LINE Ads account to AppsFlyer:
- Enter your unique LINE_Ad_account_id and your LINE_Ad_app_ID.
See Line Line Ads documentation on creating a business ID.
Connect multiple accounts and apps
You can connect multiple Line Ads accounts and apps to AppsFlyer by manually adding an account ID or app ID parameter to an attribution link, after its creation.
Note
Parameters existing in both the attribution link and under the General settings lead to conflicts. To avoid this, see the Parameter priority logic described below before adding parameters to the attribution link.
Parameter priority logic
- When both parameter types, account ID and app ID (line_ad_account_id, line_ad_app_id), are included in the attribution link, any corresponding ID set in the General settings gets overridden.
- When one of the parameter types is missing from the attribution link but has been set in the General settings, the value set in the general settings will be included for the connection.
- When both parameter types, account ID and app ID, are missing from the General settings and attribution links, the integration may not function as intended.
To connect multiple account ID and app ID parameters:
- Set up one or more attribution links.
- Add to each attribution link an account ID and app ID parameter, using lower-case letters. See the highlighted part in the example below.
Example
An example attribution link with an account ID and app ID parameters:
https://app.appsflyer.com/id123456789?pid=example_int;...line_ad_account_id=A123456789123&line_ad_app_id=1234567891234&...;redirect=false
