2. Setting Up An Install Postback
To set up the advertiser's install postback in Tune, you'll need to enter the advertiser's AppLovin SDK Key. This can be obtained from the 'Keys' section of the Account tab in the AppLovin dashboard or from your AppLovin account manager
- Under Partners > Applovin > Postbacks select Custom.
- Click Add Postback URL.
Edit the following fields:
- Postback Name: This is an optional field. If you choose to specify a name make sure it is easy to identify.
- Partner Type: "Advertising Partner"
- Postback Template: choose "Applovin Install Postback" and enter your SDK key.
- Edit the Postback Requirements:
- Uncheck the 'Only send data attributed to Applovin' box.
- For the "Partner", "Mobile App" and "Event" drop downs, select "Applovin", the relevant application and the relevant event.
3. URL Formats
A. Click URL Format
Tune will generate the click URL formatted for use in the AppLovin UI. There are other parameters that can be added that are not included by default that can be included for reporting purposes.
Tune's guide on other link parameters
See all of AppLovin's click macros here
It's worth double checking that the following parameters are in the URL:
- action=click
- ref_id={DID}
- IDFA
- Android: google_aid={IDFA}
- iOS: ios_ifa={IDFA}
Example URL:

B. Impression URL Format
The impression URL can easily be formulated based on the click URL. Make sure to:
- Replace action=click with action=impression
- Append response_format=json
- Append country_code={CC}
- Append view_percent=100
Example URL:

4. Adding In App Event Postbacks
The instructions for setting up an in app event postback are almost identical to an install postback except:
- Edit the following fields:
- Postback Name: This is an optional field. If you choose to specify a name make sure it is easy to identify.
- Partner Type: "Advertising Partner"
- Postback Template: The template names follow the format "[template] | [event name] | [platform]". Please use the following as a guide:
