Account Token

CleverTap connects with AppsFlyer via a unique Account Token, Region, Account Passcode, and Account ID. If you don't already have them, you must obtain them from CleverTap to continue with the integration or follow the steps below.

 Important!

To allow sending postbacks to CleverTap, make sure to complete both of the following steps:

  • Complete at least one of the following fields: account_token, account_passcode, or account_id
  • In the AppsFlyer SDK, set the value of Customer User ID (iOS, Android). See CleverTap documentation for guidelines on which parameter is recommended to use as your Customer User ID. Note that in case Customer User ID is empty, postbacks won't be sent to CleverTap.
