At a glance: Integrate your Twitter Ads account with AppsFlyer to display attribution data of Twitter campaigns.
Mobile app promotion on Twitter
Promosi Aplikasi Seluler Twitter adalah metode untuk mempromosikan aplikasi di Twitter. Ini memungkinkan pemasang iklan untuk mempromosikan aplikasi seluler mereka dengan desain kartu great App yang mendorong penginstalan, interaksi aplikasi, dan tautan langsung (deep linking). Pengguna aplikasi dapat dengan mudah menginstal dan berinteraksi dengan aplikasi langsung dari timeline Twitter.
Twitter user privacy
Mulai 20 November 2019, pengguna Twitter dapat mengontrol cara mereka berbagi informasi dengan pemasang iklan:
- Jika pengaturan pengguna diatur untuk mencegah berbagi informasi interaksi mereka dengan pemasang iklan, penginstalan yang diarahkan Twitter dan in-app event mereka dihilangkan dari data lengkap tetapi masih diatribusikan ke Twitter.
- Data atribusi agregat tercermin dengan benar di AppsFlyer dan tidak terpengaruh oleh kebijakan Twitter.
- Akibatnya, laporan agregat dan data lengkap Twitter tidak saling berkaitan.

For a detailed description of the Partner Configuration Window Header, click here.
Integration tab
The Integration Tab is divided into different sections as described below. Partner must be activated on first visit, to enable its setup.
Ad account connected
Select the accounts to enable attribution.
Click-through attribution
This slider allows you to set the maximum time from click to install. Only installs (first launches) that take place within the lookback window may be attributed to Twitter.
You can customize this value to 1-23 hours or 1-30 days. We recommend setting the Click-through lookback window to 14 days, to align with Twitter.
View-through attribution lookback window
This slider allows you to set the maximum time from impression to install. Only installs (first launches) that take place within this lookback window, following an ad impression, are attributed to Twitter, providing there was no other relevant ad click.
You can customize this value to 1-23 hours or 1-7 days. We recommend setting the View-through lookback window to 1 day, to align with Twitter.
Re-engagement settings
Twitter retargeting attribution includes only re-engagement conversions.
Activate the Re-engagement attribution toggle to start attributing re-engagements for Twitter.
Re-engagement click-through lookback window
Set the duration of the Re-engagement click-through lookback window (the maximum period of time after an ad is clicked, within which a retargeted user can be attributed to the ad). You can set the value in hours (up to 23) or days (1-30):
Re-engagement view-through lookback window
To start attributing impressions of retargeting ads, activate Re-engagement view-through attribution.
Then, set the duration of the Re-engagement view-through lookback window (the maximum period of time after an ad is viewed, within which a retargeted user can be attributed to the ad). You can set the value in hours (up to 23) or days (1-7):
Re-engagement window
Set the duration of the Re-engagement window (the period when the user's in-app events are attributed to the retargeting media source). You can set the value in days (1-90), hours (up to 23), or even lifetime:
In-app events postback
In this section you can map your AppsFlyer events with Twitter via postbacks.
- Toggle In-App Event Postbacks to ON
- Memilih Opsi Pengiriman untuk semua Event yang ditentukan SDK.
- Hanya event yang diatribusikan ke partner ini untuk event yang berasal hanya dari user yang diatribusikan ke partner ini
- Event yang diatribusikan ke partner atau organic mana pun agar seluruh basis user Anda tersedia untuk dilaporkan kepada partner - Click Add Event to add an SDK Event to the list
- Complete the following parameters:
Parameter Name | Description |
---|---|
SDK Event Name | Nama event yang diterima oleh AppsFlyer, baik yang berasal dari SDK yang terintegrasi di aplikasi Anda, atau dari event server ke server. Tip - Jika Anda tidak melihat event yang Anda inginkan dalam daftar, pastikan untuk mengaktifkan event di perangkat dengan instalasi non-organik dan periksa ulang. |
Partner Event Identifier | Nama atau ID unik dari setiap event sebagaimana ditentukan pihak Twitter. Dapatkan ID Event yang sesuai dari Twitter dan atur di bidang teks. |
Send Revenue |
Jika tidak dicentang - AppsFlyer mengirimkan semua parameter rich in-app event ke partner, kecuali parameter pendapatan, yang ada di parameter af_revenue. Jika dicentang - AppsFlyer mengirimkan semua parameter termasuk nilai pendapatan (jika ada di event). |
Attribution link tab
Note
For all SRNs, such as Facebook, Apple Search Ads, Adwords, Twitter etc. this tab is not functional, as they do not use external attribution links.
Cost tab
- AppsFlyer gets cost details by API.
- Retroactive data: When the cost API is enabled, we pull active campaign retroactive data for up to seven days.
Geo | Media source | Campaign | Adset | Ad | Other |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
- | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | - |
Before you begin:

The Twitter cost button appears. - Click Twitter cost.
Popup to log in to Twitter appears. - Enter your Twitter username/email and password.
- Click Authorize app.

Ad revenue tab
Ad revenue integration is not available for Twitter. To receive ad revenue data, integrate MoPub.
Permissions tab
In this tab, you can select the permissions to grant Twitter, whether the partner acts as an ad network, agency or even both. Note that even if attribution is disabled for Twitter, the permissions tab is active and you can grant control to Twitter.
Use these toggles to give the ad network permissions to handle its own configuration for your app:
Ad network permissions

FAQ and discrepancies
Who can perform the Twitter setup on AppsFlyer?
The user who is authorizing the integration between AppsFlyer and Twitter must have Twitter Account Administrator access.
What happens if no Twitter accounts are selected for attributing on AppsFlyer?
All attributions are for campaigns on the selected account. If no accounts are selected, no in-app events or attributions are sent to Twitter, even if the in-app event mapping is still visible on the Twitter Configuration window.
Do the account owner and the team members see the same Twitter data?
No. The account owner sees all of the connected Twitter accounts. Team members only see their connected Twitter accounts.
How do I disconnect Twitter from AppsFlyer?
You can disconnect AppsFlyer from your Twitter account. The following instructions assume that you are logged into your Twitter account using a desktop or laptop browser:
- Sign in to Twitter.
- On the left-hand side menu, click More > Settings and Privacy.
- On the right-hand side, under Data and Permissions, click Apps and sessions.
- Click AppsFlyer.
- Click Revoke Access.
You can now go back to your AppsFlyer account and connect a different Twitter account if you want.
Is it possible to attribute installs to multiple Twitter accounts?
Yes, but it requires some actions on Twitter's end. But first some background is required:
You can connect only one handle (also known as a twitter user) to your AppsFlyer account. When you connect this handle, your Twitter Ads Account appears in the Twitter configuration in AppsFlyer dashboard.
If one of your team members also has a Twitter Ads Account, this means that they have a different handle than yours and cannot connect their handle to AppsFlyer. This is because your handle is the one that is already connected with the AppsFlyer account. In order for their Twitter Ad Account to also appear in AppsFlyer, they need to give your handle access as account administrator to their Twitter Ads Account.
Say your team member is Jenny and her handle is @jenny. Your handle is @nivi and is the handle that is connected to AppsFlyer. In order for her Twitter Ads Account to appear in the AppsFlyer account, she needs to give your handle access as account administrator to her Twitter Ads Account. Jenny needs to give access to Nivi to her Twitter Ads Account and not that other way around. When she does so, AppsFlyer looks at Nivi's handle, and sees all the ad accounts that it is associated with, Jenny's included.
- Jenny signs into ads.twitter.com
- Dia mengklik Akun, lalu memilih Edit akses ke akun
- Jenny kemudian memberi @nivi akses ke Akun Iklan Twitter-nya sebagai atau Administrator akun
- Jenny logs into the AppsFlyer account and goes to Integrated Partners >> Twitter option
- At this stage, she can see her Twitter Ads Account also listed.
- Dia sekarang dapat melihat akun Iklan Twitter-nya dan mengonfigurasi integrasinya. Admin akun dapat melihat semua akun Iklan Twitter yang terhubung.

Any special instructions for agencies?
Ya.
Saat agensi membuat kampanye Twitter baru, nama kampanye harus dimulai dengan nama agensi dan garis bawah (Contoh: "AgencyName_Campaign1").
Note
To establish the connection between AppsFlyer and Twitter, the advertiser MUST configure Twitter to allow agencies to run Twitter traffic.
For more details go here.
Do you make Twitter's raw data available to agencies?
Kami tidak memberikan data lengkap Twitter kepada agensi karena dalam persyaratan layanan Twitter menganggap agensi sebagai pihak ketiga.
I'm clicking save & close but Twitter's configuration is not saved! help!
If your app was subscribed to another attribution provider in the past, which was used to attribute Twitter installs, the following errors below when configuring Twitter on AppsFlyer's dashboard:
Error: The app is associated with a different attribution provider. Please associate it with AppsFlyer.
Alternatively, the following error may also appear:
Error: Error has occured while saving Twitter configuration. Some accounts failed to updated: XX Multiple provider ids to same (appid, conversionType) for event appid2872.
If the account selection does not save, this may be because the Twitter account in question was previously associated with a different provider at Twitter's end. To resolve this:
- Contact Twitter to remove the other provider from your end
- Select the Active Account name
- Click Save and Close.
- If this still doesn't solve the problem you will have to contact your previous measurement provider and ask to remove the past Twitter tags associated with your account.
How can I set up retargeting campaigns with Twitter?
For details of how to configure a Twitter Retargeting Campaign, click here.
Does retargeting affect in-app events sending to Twitter?
Ya. Jika penargetan ulang diaktifkan, AppsFlyer tidak mengirim postback event af_app_opened ke Twitter, sesuai permintaan Twitter.
Perhatikan bahwa meskipun jendela pengaturan Twitter memungkinkan pemilihan ini, postback af_app_opened tidak dikirim dengan penargetan ulang.
How can I stop measuring Twitter attributions?
To deactivate the integration with twitter, uncheck all accounts and click Save & Close.
Can an agency measure Twitter attributions for advertisers?
Ya!
Untuk membuat koneksi antara AppsFlyer dan Twitter, pemasang iklan HARUS memilih akun aktif di laman mitra Twitter di dashboard AppsFlyer, jadi setidaknya satu akun Twitter dicentang.
Setelah itu, agensi perlu menghubungkan akun Twitter-nya langsung dari dashboard agensinya sendiri.
Can an agency configure in-app events for Twitter?
Agencies cannot configure in-app events for Twitter. Similar to Facebook, these must be configured by the Advertiser.
For how long do you keep Twitter’s user-level data?
Twitter requires attribution providers to delete its user-level data 3 months after the install. This means that the events performed by these users 3 months after they install the app are counted as organic.
Past aggregate data remains the same.
Mengapa saya melihat data biaya duplikat?
Saat Anda mengatur kampanye di Twitter, Anda dapat menambahkan beberapa aplikasi ke kampanye. Saat Twitter melaporkan biaya, total data biaya kampanye ditampilkan di bawah setiap aplikasi di AppsFlyer, dan tidak dibagi per aplikasi.
Misalnya, jika Anda menjalankan satu kampanye dengan biaya $1.000 untuk aplikasi Android dan iOS, maka biaya $1.000 ditampilkan di dashboard AppsFlyer di bawah aplikasi Android dan iOS. Biayanya tidak dibagi, misalnya, masing-masing menjadi $500.
Saya mencoba menghubungkan akun Twitter saya dengan AppsFlyer, tetapi saya mendapatkan pesan kesalahan
Akun Twitter Anda harus menjadi Akun Iklan aktif untuk menerima data atribusi dari AppsFlyer.
Untuk mengatasi masalah ini:
- Keluar dari Twitter.
- Pergi ke Mitra Terintegrasi .
- di Bidang Pencarian, ketik "Twitter"
- Klik pada ikon Twitter,
jendela pengaturan mitra terbuka. - Di tab Integrasi, klik Aktifkan mitra .
- Klik Login dengan Twitter ,
jendela login Twitter terbuka. - Login dengan Akun Iklan Twitter Anda.
Discrepancies between Twitter and AppsFlyer
Although we work closely with Twitter, discrepancies might appear between the Twitter dashboard and the AppsFlyer dashboard/reports.
These are the common reasons for such discrepancies that advertisers should be aware of:
Penyebab | AppsFlyer | |
---|---|---|
Attribution window |
Twitter memungkinkan penggunanya untuk mengonfigurasi jendela atribusi dan mendukung atribusi klik-tayang dan lihat-tayang. Secara default - klik-tayang 14 hari dan lihat-tayang 1 hari. |
If you have not configured the AppsFlyer attribution lookback window for Twitter with the same values as in Twitter, discrepancies may occur. |
Multi-channel source attribution |
Twitter's attribution works as specified above regardless of other sources. |
AppsFlyer uses last click attribution (more information about AppsFlyer attribution available here). |
Timezone differences |
Twitter's timezone is defined by the advertiser's app configured timezone. |
AppsFlyer's default timezone is UTC±00:00, but can be set to any timezone by the advertiser. |
Install time differences |
Twitter shows installs based on the click time (referred to as "engagement time"). |
AppsFlyer displays the time of the first app open. |
Attribution touch type |
Twitter's attribution is based on their own clicks and impressions. |
AppsFlyer gives priority to click-through attribution over view-through attribution. If Twitter counts an impression and AppsFlyer is aware of an additional click within the click-through attribution window, the click from another source is attributed on AppsFlyer's dashboard. On Twitter, the impression is attributed and is presented on their dashboard. |
Twitter data sharing settings |
Twitter allows its users to NOT share their personal data with third parties. This data includes ads they interact with. The stats on Twitter dashboard reflect all engagements, including the users who have opted out from sharing the data. |
AppsFlyer shows the aggregate data of these Twitter users, but does not report their user-level raw data (more details). |
Twitter re-engagement logic |
Twitter counts unique users. If a user re-engages more than once as a result of the same campaign, Twitter shows these engagements as one conversion. |
AppsFlyer counts each re-engagement instance, and therefore, in a similar case, shows these engagements as multiple conversions. |
Catatan
- While Twitter shows all installs of a retargeting campaign in the same place, on the AppsFlyer dashboard, installs are divided between the Overview page (new installs) and the Retargeting page (re-attribution and re-engagements).
- As a result of AppsFlyer's Validation Rules, results may differ in the dashboards as some installs are shown in Twitter and are not shown in the AppsFlyer dashboard.
