AppsFlyer

AppsFlyer is the market leader in mobile advertising attribution and analytics, helping marketers to pinpoint their targeting, optimize their ad spend and boost their ROI (Return on Investment).

AppsFlyer allows users to monitor and track application installations, downloads, and conversions. The AppsFlyer API allows developers to access and integrate the functionality of AppsFlyer with other applications.

Prerequisite

In order to enable AppsFlyer to start tracking your app, you are required to have the following two information such as:

1. devKey: Your application devKey provided by AppsFlyer.

2. appId: (For iOS only) Your iOS app ID in the App Store.

Adding AppsFlyer to Monaca Project

1. For Monaca Cloud IDE, go to Configure → Service Integration Settings.

2. Click on Details button of AppsFlyer service.

3. Then, click Install button to add it into your project.

4. You will be asked to confirm the setup. Click to start the installation.

Configuration

Add the following lines to your code to initialize the tracking with your own AppsFlyer devKey and appId:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", function(){

    var options = {
        devKey:  'xxXXXXXxXxXXXXxXXxxxx8'  // your AppsFlyer devKey
    };

    var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

    if (/iphone|ipad|ipod/.test(userAgent)) {
        options.appId = "123456789";       // your ios app id in app store
    }

    window.plugins.appsFlyer.initSdk(options);

}, false);

Usage

SDK Initialization

Initialize the SDK.

initSdk(options, onSuccess, onError): void

Parameter

Name	Type	Description
options	Object	SDK configuration (please refer to the options object table below)
onSuccess	(message: string) => void	(optional) Success callback: called after a successful SDK initialization.
onError	(message: string) => void	(optional) Error callback: called when error occurs during initialization.

options object

Name	Type	Default	Description
devKey	String		Appsflyer Dev key
appId	String		(For iOS only) Your iOS app ID in the App Store
isDebug	Boolean	false	(optional) Debug mode
onInstallConversionDataListener	Boolean	false	Accessing AppsFlyer Attribution/Conversion Data from the SDK (Deferred Deeplinking). AppsFlyer plugin will return attribution data in onSuccess callback. For more information, please refer to: Deferred Deep Linking - Getting the Conversion Data

Example

The following snippet shows how to use initSdk() function:

var onSuccess = function(result) {
    //handle result
};

function onError(err) {
    // handle error
}

var options = {
    devKey:  'd3Ac9qPardVYZxfWmCspwL',
    appId: '123456789',
    isDebug: false,
    onInstallConversionDataListener: true
};

window.plugins.appsFlyer.initSdk(options, onSuccess, onError);

In-App Events Tracking API

Allow you to send in-app events to AppsFlyer analytics. This method allows you to add events dynamically by adding them directly to the application code. These in-app events help you track how loyal users discover your app, and attribute them to specific campaigns/media-sources. Please take the time to define the event(s) you want to measure to allow you to track ROI (Return on Investment) and LTV (Lifetime Value).

trackEvent(eventName, eventValues): void (optional)

Parameter

Name	Type	Description
eventName	String	Custom event name, is presented in your dashboard.
eventValue	Object	Event details

Example

The following snippet shows how to use trackEvent() function:

var eventName = "af_add_to_cart";

var eventValues = {
    "af_content_id": "id123",
    "af_currency":"USD",
    "af_revenue": "2"
};

window.plugins.appsFlyer.trackEvent(eventName, eventValues);

Currency Code Setting

Change the currency code.

setCurrencyCode(currencyId): void

Parameter

Name	Type	Default	Description
currencyId	String	USD	ISO 4217 Currency Codes

The following snippet shows how to use setCurrencyCode() function:

window.plugins.appsFlyer.setCurrencyCode("USD");
window.plugins.appsFlyer.setCurrencyCode("GBP"); // British Pound

Customer User ID Setting (Advanced)

Set your own custom ID. This enables you to cross-reference your own unique ID with AppsFlyer’s user ID and the other devices’ IDs. This ID is available in AppsFlyer CSV reports along with postbacks APIs for cross-referencing with you internal IDs.
