In this tab, you can create the attribution links you want to send to HUAWEI Ads for attributing HUAWEI Ads's campaigns, ad sets, or even single ads. Note that AppsFlyer DOES NOT save your generated partner's attribution links.

Attribution link and lookback window

Impression	A user views (for at least one second) an ad served by the ad network	View-through lookback window is preset; it is the maximum allowed time from view to install. HUAWEI Ads gets an attribution if a lead views an ad and then installs the app before the lookback window expires. This applies if there are no other relevant ad clicks. Parameter name: af_viewthrough_lookback  Default value: 1 day Range: 1-23 hours or 1-7 days
