Track campaigns on Android TV

With the Adjust SDK you can set up tracking for campaigns run on Android TVs that drive installs of your connected TV (CTV) app. This lets you measure the success of your connected TV ads and their role in driving your CTV app adoption.

Here, you can learn how to get set up to start tracking your campaigns, and how to manage your apps in the classic dashboard.

Set up your CTV app

Before you can begin tracking your campaigns on Android TV, you first need to add your app to Adjust and integrate the Adjust SDK.

Be sure to replace {TrackerToken} in the Adjust SDK with the token from the tracker you created in step 2.

Your tracker token is a unique identifying string containing six or more alphanumeric characters appearing at the end of your tracker URL. In the example below, the tracker token is abc123.
