Advertiser Tracking

Taptica works as a mediation layer between advertisers and publishers. We need to be prompt by the advertiser whenever conversion take place and notified the publisher that conversion was close. this section refer to the post back Taptica need to get from the advertiser in order to close conversion.

Event Post Back

   • Aff_goal - Used for tracking post-install events , goals, when a user makes a certain action in the application such as tutorial compilation, Faceebook connect, in-app purchase and so on.
