Create a product and a campaign

Updated

View as Markdown

Choose New campaign, add your app or site as a product, then name the campaign, pick its countries and where taps land, and save. The campaign’s own page then walks you through events, tests, funds and submitting.

On this page

Before you start

  • Your app’s App Store and Google Play links, or the public HTTPS address of your site.
  • The name people know your app or site by. It becomes the offer title publishers’ users see.

Steps

  1. Campaigns, then New campaign

    Open Campaigns and choose New campaign. The form has two parts: Product, then Campaign.

  2. Add your product

    Choose Existing product to reuse one, or New product to add it:

    • Product name: your app’s or site’s name.
    • Product type: Mobile app sends users to the App Store or Google Play. Website sends them to your HTTPS landing page. A website can’t share a product with an app.
    • For an app, pick iOS, Android or both, and paste the App Store URL and Google Play URL.
    • For a site, paste the Website URL. It must be a public HTTPS address, and it becomes the default landing page for new campaigns.

    Choose Continue.

  3. Set up the campaign

    • Campaign name (shown to users): the offer title people see in publishers’ apps. Use your public app name, not an internal label.
    • Countries (comma-separated ISO): it starts as US. List the countries you want, such as US, CA, GB, or clear the field to run in every country.
    • Destination, for an app: Store listing sends people straight to your store page. App Store search (keyword) sends them to a store search for a Search term you choose, up to 80 characters, where they find your app themselves. Either way, installs are matched back to the campaign.
    • Campaign landing URL, for a site: where people land after a tap. It must be a public HTTPS address.
    • How will you report conversions to AffiliateOS?: Your server posts to AffiliateOS, or Your attribution tool posts to AffiliateOS if you already use AppsFlyer, Adjust or a similar tool. You can change this later.

    Example for Tidewater Games: product Tidewater Putt, iOS and Android, campaign name Tidewater Putt, countries US, CA, destination Store listing.

  4. Save & open setup

    Choose Save & open setup. The campaign opens on its own page in Setting up: nobody can see it yet.

  5. Check it worked

    The campaign page shows a launch checklist: Add what you’ll pay for, Verify it works, Choose how you’ll send us data and Add funds. A website campaign adds Confirm the Website landing URL and Choose the primary result. Show developer setup, lower on the page, shows the appId and campaignId your server will send with every event.

What you can change later

  • Setting up, or sent back for changes: you can change the name, the destination, how you send us data and the events, and you can delete the campaign from Campaigns.
  • In review: only the destination can change, plus a website’s primary result. Everything else waits for our decision.
  • While it’s live, a new name or destination is saved as a pending change. Choose Submit changes for review: the campaign keeps running as it was until we approve the change.
  • Paused, after approval: nothing can change. Resume it first.

Next: choose events and what each one pays.

Event. What an advertiser's server or attribution tool sends us when a player completes a step.What is an event?
