Set up Aura from Unity

Aura from Unity is an ad network integrated with Adjust. Our integration lets Aura from Unity receive attribution and in-app event data through automated callbacks.

In this article, learn how to set up measurement with Aura from Unity for your app. This includes activating the integration, creating a campaign link, and choosing what data Adjust can share with Aura from Unity.

Before you begin

Requirements

iOS / Android / Windows / Unity / React Native / Flutter / Adobe Air / Cordova / Marmalade / Xamarin / Cocos2d-x / Titanium / Corona

Select Aura from Unity and your app in Campaign Lab

  1. Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
  2. Select New partner > Aura from Unity. Select Next to move to the next screen.
  3. In the App selection screen, choose the app for which you want to create the link, and enable the integration to share data with Aura from Unity.
  4. Select Next.

Enable data sharing

Enable data sharing to activate the integration with Aura from Unity. To enable data sharing:

  1. Turn on Enabled

Once you enable data sharing with Aura from Unity, Adjust automatically sends Aura from Unity the following data, by default:

  • install
  • session
  • event
  • rejectedInstall
  • ad revenue

Set your data sharing options

If you’re working with a multi-platform app with data sharing enabled for multiple platforms, you can:

  1. Separate data sharing options at the platform-level by selecting Use platform-specific settings.
  2. Set the same data sharing settings for multiple platforms by selecting Use global settings.

Now, under What will be shared by default?, review the activities that Adjust shares with Aura from Unity by default.

  • install
  • session
  • event
  • rejectedInstall
  • ad revenue

Send additional data

Choose the amount and type of data that you want to share with Aura from Unity through callbacks. Aura from Unity may use this information to optimize performance.

  1. Under What sources of data do you want to share?, choose the attribution source of the data you are sharing with Aura from Unity:
  • Data from all attribution sources
  • Only data attributed to Aura from Unity

In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)

Sharing in-app revenue lets Aura from Unity receive revenue amounts along with your revenue event data. You need to map events that generate revenue to share this data.

Ad revenue (from ad views)

Ad revenue sharing lets Aura from Unity receive user ad revenue data. This lets Aura from Unity use ad revenue data to optimize your user targeting and campaigns.

Growth solution:

This feature is available with Adjust’s RevWorks package. To purchase our RevWorks package, contact your sales representative.

To share ad revenue to Aura from Unity, select one or more Ad Revenue Sources.

  • If you leave this field empty, we send ad revenue data from all integrated mediation sources.

Sessions

Adjust does not automatically send session callbacks due to the high volume of sessions. Sharing sessions means Aura from Unity will receive your app’s session activity.

Map parameters

You usually need to map parameters to share custom data with Aura from Unity.

Map events

Map events that you want to share to the values that Aura from Unity can receive. Data for unmapped events is not shared with Aura from Unity.

Under Map events, follow these steps to choose the in-app events you want to directly send to Aura from Unity.

  1. Select Map event.
  2. In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with Aura from Unity.
  3. In the Partner event list, choose or enter a custom event name that you want to map the Adjust event to. You might have to map an event to several values.
  4. Select Apply.

Now Aura from Unity will receive in-app event data for each of your linked events.

Map parameters

Partner parameters (available in Adjust SDK version 4.0+) let Adjust collect custom data points from your app and send them to Aura from Unity. This lets Aura from Unity receive custom event details for each of your linked events.

Before adding new partner parameters to the Adjust SDK, make sure no pre-existing partner parameters already fit your requirements.

To share partner parameters to Aura from Unity, follow these steps.

  1. Set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK: iOS, Android
  2. Check the Parameters data sharing checkbox.
  3. Map your events.
Note:

If you set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK without setting up parameter sharing in the dashboard, Adjust forwards the parameters as named in the Adjust SDK.

Configure your link and settings

You have the option to set your:

Create your link and share it with Aura from Unity

In the Setup review screen, you can review your choices. You can also go back and make changes to:

  • Your selected app
  • Data sharing options
  • Link structure parameters
  • User destinations
  • Attribution settings

Select Create link to create your click URL, impression URL, QR code and link token. Creating a link also enables data sharing and the integration with Aura from Unity.

Once you’ve created your link, share it with Aura from Unity for placement in campaigns.
