How to integrate AppsFlyer affiliate conversions in Google Analytics

You can now easily integrate AppsFlyer conversions in Google Analytics and other marketing tools, to achieve that we will need to attribute your affiliate sale conversion data to your traffic data.

The installation is done in four simple steps:

  1. Create a wecantrack account
  2. Connect your AppsFlyer account to our system via Postback URL
  3. Connect your website to our system

Who is the AppsFlyer integration for

Connecting AppsFlyer to wecantrack makes sense if you fall into any of these buckets:

  • Mobile app advertisers using AppsFlyer SDK to measure installs and in-app events who need their attribution data piped into Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta alongside their other affiliate sources.
  • Performance media buyers running paid UA (user acquisition) campaigns to iOS and Android apps who need install and post-install event data flowing back for CPI and CPA optimisation.
  • Affiliate operators sourcing mobile traffic through CPA networks who need AppsFlyer's attribution layer reconciled against their network payouts in one dashboard.
  • Game and subscription-app publishers tracking trial-starts, IAPs, and subscription conversions in AppsFlyer who need clean revenue attribution to Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta.
  • Existing wecantrack customers adding AppsFlyer as a mobile-attribution data source alongside their web affiliate networks for full cross-platform visibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is AppsFlyer an affiliate network?

No. AppsFlyer is a Mobile Measurement Platform (MMP). Apps use AppsFlyer to measure installs and in-app events from any paid or organic source. wecantrack connects to AppsFlyer to pull those events into your unified dashboard and on to your ad platforms. The actual commercial relationship is between you and the ad network or partner driving installs.

How does the AppsFlyer integration with wecantrack work?

AppsFlyer fires postback URLs to wecantrack whenever a configured event happens (install, in-app event, subscription, custom event). We map those events to the original click and forward them to Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta as offline conversions or server-side events.

What event does the AppsFlyer integration track?

Whatever event you configure in your AppsFlyer dashboard to send to wecantrack: app install, registration, first IAP, subscription, level-up, or a custom event. Event value, currency, media source, campaign, and Site ID (af_siteid) and sub-parameters (af_sub1-af_sub5) all flow through.

Will my AppsFlyer events show up in Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta?

Yes. wecantrack pushes attributed AppsFlyer events into Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta as offline conversions or server-side events, matched to the click. Optimise paid UA campaigns on real install and post-install revenue.

Do I need a developer to set up the AppsFlyer integration?

Postback URL setup in AppsFlyer is a configuration task an analytics or marketing operator can typically do without a developer. Generate the postback URL in wecantrack, paste it into the AppsFlyer integrated-partner configuration, and the events start flowing.

Can I track media sources and Site IDs through AppsFlyer?

Yes. wecantrack preserves AppsFlyer's media-source, campaign, Site ID (af_siteid), and sub-parameters (af_sub1-af_sub5) and passes them through to Google Analytics, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta. Break down install revenue by media source, campaign, or any custom AppsFlyer parameter.
