Impact offers a complete mobile partnership solution to help you drive partner traffic to your mobile app and connect with many of our mobile-first partners. It’s easy to get started with our mobile features—like in-app deep linking, payouts for post-install conversion events, and more—and all of your existing tracking links will be mobile ready without partners having to change anything.
Part of our mobile solution is TrueLink, which expands our existing tracking technology with:
Mobile deep linking from web-to-app, app-to-web, and app-to-app without an SDK integration
Intelligent linking from your ads to send traffic directly to your app, or send them directly to your app install page to drive installs
Routing rules to create custom redirects and blocks for your different traffic types
TrueLink functionality is built right into our existing tracking links and once you’ve integrated, all of your existing tracking links are retroactively compatible. Mobile traffic can be deep linked to your app, sent to your app install page, or directed to your mobile website—all while your traditional traffic is still deep linked to your website.
There are a few prerequisites for integrating Impact mobile tracking:
If you’re an existing customer, let your CSM know that you want to add mobile app tracking for your campaign(s).
If you’re new to Impact, let your OPM know that you’d like to start with mobile app tracking for your campaign right from the beginning.
Identify a member of your developer team that can work with you and Impact to discuss the integration requirements, specifications, and implementation.
To avoid accidentally breaking your integration, we highly recommend you consult with your CSM (or reach out to us at support@impact.com) before making any changes to settings that you’re unsure of.
