Set up CJ Affiliate

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

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

Before you begin

Requirements

Admin, Editor, or Custom Editor permissions in Adjust.
Adjust SDK v4.0.0 and later to map SDK parameters to CJ Affiliate parameters. Follow the guides linked below to use this feature.

Credentials

CID and TYPE

For help finding your credentials, contact your CJ Affiliate representative.

Select CJ Affiliate and your app in Campaign Lab

Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
Select New partner > CJ Affiliate. Select Next to move to the next screen.
In the App selection screen, choose the app for which you want to create the link, and enable the integration to share data with CJ Affiliate.
Select Next.

Enable data sharing

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

Enter your CID and TYPE.

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

install
event

Set your data sharing options

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

Separate data sharing options at the platform-level by selecting Use platform-specific settings.
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 CJ Affiliate by default.

install
event

Send additional data

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

Under What sources of data do you want to share?, choose the attribution source of the data you are sharing with CJ Affiliate:

Data from all attribution sources
Only data attributed to CJ Affiliate

In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)

Sharing in-app revenue lets CJ Affiliate 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 CJ Affiliate can receive. Data for unmapped events is not shared with CJ Affiliate.

Map individual events

If you have a multi-platform app, you can choose to share different events per platform with CJ Affiliate. 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 CJ Affiliate.

Select Map event.
In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with CJ Affiliate.
Under Partner event, you need to select the CJ Affiliate 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.
Select Apply.

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

Map all events

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

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

Configure your link and settings

You have the option to set your:

Create your link and share it with CJ Affiliate

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

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