Set up MOLOCO

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

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

Before you begin

Requirements

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

Select MOLOCO and your app in Campaign Lab

  1. Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
  2. Select New partner > MOLOCO. 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 MOLOCO.
  4. Select Next.

Enable data sharing

Enable data sharing to activate the integration with MOLOCO. To enable data sharing:

  1. Turn on Enabled

Once you enable data sharing with MOLOCO, Adjust automatically sends MOLOCO the following data, by default:

  • click
  • install
  • session
  • uninstall
  • reattribution
  • 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 MOLOCO by default.

  • click
  • install
  • session
  • uninstall
  • reattribution
  • event
  • rejectedInstall
  • ad revenue

Send additional data

Choose the amount and type of data that you want to share with MOLOCO through callbacks. MOLOCO 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 MOLOCO:
  • Data from all attribution sources
  • Only data attributed to MOLOCO

In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)

Sharing in-app revenue lets MOLOCO 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 MOLOCO receive user ad revenue data. This lets MOLOCO 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 MOLOCO, 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 MOLOCO will receive your app’s session activity.

Map parameters

You usually need to map parameters to share custom data with MOLOCO.

Map events

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

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

  1. Select Map event.
  2. In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with MOLOCO.
  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 MOLOCO 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 MOLOCO. This lets MOLOCO 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 MOLOCO, 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 MOLOCO

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 MOLOCO.

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