Set up TVAaaS

TVAaaS is an analytics partner integrated with Adjust. Our integration lets TVAaaS receive data measured in Adjust through automated callbacks. Use this data with the partners' tools for analytics and insights.

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

Before you begin

Requirements

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

Select TVAaaS and your app in Campaign Lab

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

Enable data sharing

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

  1. Turn on Enabled

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

  • install
  • session
  • uninstall
  • reinstall
  • reattribution
  • event

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 TVAaaS by default:

  • install
  • session
  • uninstall
  • reinstall
  • reattribution
  • event

Send additional data

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

To send additional data, you can review and customize the following:

Sessions

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

Uninstalls or reinstalls

Sharing uninstalls or reinstalls lets TVAaaS receive your app’s uninstall and/or reinstall data measured by Adjust.

Note:

For iOS apps, you might expect a low record of uninstalls and/or reinstalls. For more information, visit Uninstall and reinstall measurement.

In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)

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

Map events

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

Map individual events

If you have a multi-platform app, you can choose to share different events per platform with TVAaaS. This lets you:

  • Set individual events to manage campaign strategies for each platform.
  • Customize data sharing per platform.

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

  1. Select Map event.
  2. In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with TVAaaS.
  3. Under Partner event, you need to select the TVAaaS event that corresponds to the Adjust event.
    1. For single platform apps and multi-platform apps with data sharing enabled for a single platform only, you map events for that platform only. For multi-platform apps with data sharing enabled for multiple platforms, you can:
      • Select Use platform-specific mapping to map separate events at the platform-level or to not map events for certain platforms.
      • Select Use global mapping to map the same events for all platforms.
    2. In the Partner event list, choose or enter a custom event name, that you want to map the Adjust event to.
  4. Select Apply.

Now TVAaaS will receive in-app event data for each of your linked events.

Map all events

If TVAaaS supports mapping all events automatically, under Map events, select Map all events. This saves time in mapping individual events.

Now TVAaaS will receive in-app event data for all your linked events.

Map parameters

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

Partner parameters (available in Adjust SDK version 4.0+) let Adjust collect custom data points from your app and send them to TVAaaS. This lets TVAaaS 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 TVAaaS, follow these steps.

  1. Set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK.
  2. Under Set your data sharing options, select Parameters.
  3. Under Map parameters, you can specify how you want to send partner parameters defined in the SDK to the network:
    1. Select Map parameter.
    2. In the SDK parameter field, enter the name of the SDK parameter you want to share with the network.
    3. In the Partner parameter field, enter the network parameter that corresponds to the SDK parameter.
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.

Enable TVAaaS for your app

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

Select Enable partner to enable TVAaaS for your app. Analytics partners don't work with links for campaigns. Once enabled, our integration sends attribution and in-app event data via automated callbacks.
