At a glance: Reddit, an AppsFlyer ad network integrated partner, is home to 430 million highly-engaged monthly users who can’t be found anywhere else.  

Setting up Reddit

The setup is done from the Active Integrations page, but to find the partner you must first go to the marketplace. 

 Note

Before setting up an integration, make sure you contact the partner and open an account with them.

To activate the integration:

  1. Go to the Marketplace: From the top menu of any AppsFlyer page, click Marketplace. 
  2. Search for the partner and select it.
  3. Click Set up integration. You’re directed to the integration setup page.
  4. In the Integration tab, turn on Activate partner.
    Note: The toggle must stay on (activated) for as long as you work with the partner.
  5. Complete the configuration using the relevant tabs, as described below.

Integration tab

The Integration Tab is divided into different sections:

Activate partners

To enable the configuration, activate the partner.

Advanced Privacy

For iOS apps only, when Advanced Privacy (for iOS 14.5+ and later) is turned on, you can control what data is shared with Reddit via postbacks and reports.

Transaction ID

For iOS apps only, when Share SKAN transaction ID is turned on, you're allowing AppsFlyer to share the transaction ID of SKAdNetwork postbacks with Reddit. By doing so, Reddit could decode your SKAdNetwork Conversion Values.

General settings

Enable view-through attribution

Activate, if you want to attribute view-through installs from Reddit. The view-through lookback slider is available in the Attribution link tab.

Default postbacks

Send automatic postbacks to Reddit following user installs. Select whether to send postbacks for installs attributed to:

In this section, you can configure in-app event postbacks that are sent to Reddit.

To configure in-app event postbacks:

  3. Fill in the following data:
    Parameter name Description
    SDK event name The name of the event, as received by AppsFlyer either from the SDK or from server-to-server events.
    Tip: If you don't see the event you want in the list, activate this event on a device with a non-organic installation and recheck.
