Overview

Linkrunner is a Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP). When you run traffic to an advertiser who uses Linkrunner, the integration works in two directions:
  1. You send us clicks. You point your traffic at a Linkrunner tracking link and append your own identifiers (most importantly your click ID). Linkrunner records the click and uses it to attribute installs.
  2. We send you postbacks. When an install or a post-install event is attributed to your click, Linkrunner fires a server-to-server postback to your endpoint with the data filled into the macros you define.
This is the same model used across the industry, so if you have integrated with other MMPs the flow will feel familiar.

How attribution works

The link between a click and a conversion is your click ID. You generate a unique ID for every click and pass it to Linkrunner on the tracking link as tid. When a conversion is attributed back to that click, Linkrunner returns the same value in the {click_id} and {tid} macros on the postback. You match the postback to your original click using that value.
Pass a unique tid on every click. Without it, Linkrunner cannot echo an identifier back to you on the postback, and you cannot reconcile conversions against your clicks.

What you can receive postbacks for

The advertiser controls which of their events map to a postback to you and whether revenue is shared. You provide one postback URL template per conversion you want to receive.
