Activity: SKAdNetwork install
To receive SKAdNetwork install attribution updates in your raw data, use the SKAdNetwork install activity type.
This callback activity forwards information from Apple's install validation postback. The postback is sent to the network after a user installs and opens an app, and cannot be sent to Adjust or app publishers directly.
❌ - The SKAdNetwork install activity is not included in your global callback.
Depending upon your data export method, update your CSV definition or callback URL with the supported placeholders in the table below.
