- In AppsFlyer, under Configuration go to Partner Marketplace.
- Search for the partner and select it.
- Click Set up integration. You’re directed to the integration setup page.

Note: The toggle must stay on (activated) for as long as you work with the partner. - Enter the necessary configuration parameters. This varies according to the selected Meta campaign management partner.
- Click Save Integration.
In-app event postback setup

In order for the partner to get postbacks, campaign names must be prefixed by the Meta campaign management partner name. For example, if the Meta campaign management partner name is Mcmpexample and the segment is Young_Segment, set the campaign name to mcmpexample_Young_Segment.
Note: The Meta campaign management partner name is case-sensitive.

Turn on In-app event postbacks.

Important Notes
- Disabling attribution for Meta ads prevents sending postbacks to Meta campaign management partners
- The in-app events mapping with the Meta campaign management partners, or lack of it, does not affect the sending of in-app events to Meta ads directly from the advertiser's account.
- In-app events mapping may require different setup parameters depending on the Meta campaign management partner.
- Meta ads and X Ads campaign names must start with the Meta campaign management partner account name, as defined in the AppsFlyer platform, followed by an underscore "_". When campaigns aren't named as mentioned, they're visible to the advertiser but not to the Meta campaign management partner. The Meta campaign management partner name is case-sensitive.
