Set up Insider
Insider is an analytics partner integrated with Adjust. Our integration lets Insider 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 Insider for your app. This includes activating the integration and choosing what data Adjust can share with Insider.
Before you begin
Requirements
- Admin, Editor, or Custom Editor permissions in Adjust.
- Adjust SDK v4.0.0 and later to map SDK parameters to Insider parameters. Follow the guides linked below to use this feature.
iOS | Android | Windows | Unity | React Native | Flutter | Adobe Air | Cordova | Marmalade | Xamarin | Cocos2d-x | Titanium | Corona
Credentials
Partner Name
- For help finding your credentials, contact your Insider representative.
Select Insider and your app in Campaign Lab
- Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
- Select New partner > Insider. 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 Insider.
- Select Next.
Enable data sharing
Enable data sharing to activate the integration with Insider. To enable data sharing:
- Enter your Partner Name.
Once you enable data sharing with Insider, Adjust automatically sends Insider 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 Insider by default:
- install
- event
Send additional data
Choose the amount and type of data that you want to share with Insider through callbacks. Insider may use this information to optimize performance.
To send additional data, you can review and customize the following:
Map events
Map events that you want to share to the values that Insider can receive. Data for unmapped events is not shared with Insider.
Map individual events
If you have a multi-platform app, you can choose to share different events per platform with Insider. 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 Insider.
- Select Map event.
- In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with Insider.
- Under Partner event, you need to select the Insider event that corresponds to the Adjust event.
- 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.
- In the Partner event list, choose or enter a custom event name, that you want to map the Adjust event to.
- 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 Apply.
Now Insider will receive in-app event data for each of your linked events.
Map all events
If Insider supports mapping all events automatically, under Map events, select Map all events. This saves time in mapping individual events.
Now Insider will receive in-app event data for all your linked events.
Map parameters
You usually need to map parameters to share custom data with Insider.
Partner parameters (available in Adjust SDK version 4.0+) let Adjust collect custom data points from your app and send them to Insider. This lets Insider 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 Insider, follow these steps.
- Set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK.
- Check Before you begin for all SDK development platform links.
- Under Set your data sharing options, select Parameters.
- Under Map parameters, you can specify how you want to send partner parameters defined in the SDK to the network:
- Select Map parameter.
- In the SDK parameter field, enter the name of the SDK parameter you want to share with the network.
- In the Partner parameter field, enter the network parameter that corresponds to the SDK parameter.
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 Insider 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 Insider 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.
List of all parameters forwarded to Insider
Insider requires Adjust to send the following parameters (data points) with your callbacks:

{idfv} | Uppercase iOS ID for vendors |
{adgroup_name} | Adgroup name, as taken from the tracker |
{campaign_name} | Campaign name, as taken from the tracker |
