Linkrunner integrates with Netcore to automatically send attribution data, helping you understand which campaigns are driving user acquisition and engagement.

How it works

Every time a user is attributed by Linkrunner, we automatically send a request to Netcore to update the corresponding user’s profile with custom properties:
  • lr_campaign - The campaign identifier
  • lr_ad_network - The ad network source

Example

  • User ID 24 came from campaign link: https://app.linkrunner.io/?c=AXb1c2
  • In Netcore, for user profile with ID 24, you’ll see lr_campaign set to AXb1c2 and lr_ad_network set to an ad network source

Prerequisites

RequirementDescription
Linkrunner accountA Linkrunner account is required to take advantage of this integration.
Netcore accountA Netcore account with API access.
iOS or Android appThis integration supports iOS and Android apps.
Linkrunner SDKYou must have the Linkrunner SDK installed in your app.

Steps to setup

1

Get Credentials from Netcore and Configure in Linkrunner

First, you need to get your credentials from Netcore.
  1. Refer to Netcore’s Getting Started guide to get the API Key and API Endpoint
  2. Copy the following credentials:
    • API Endpoint (e.g., https://netcoreapi-main-prod-us.netcorein.com)
    • API Key
  3. In Linkrunner, navigate to Integrations from the left-hand panel
  4. Under Analytics, click Configure for Netcore
  5. Enter your API Endpoint and API Key

Map User Identifiers in SDK

To properly link users between Linkrunner and Netcore, you need to pass the correct identifier in the signup function.
Important: If you are using the setUserIdentity function of the Netcore SDK, pass the same user ID in the userData parameter of the Linkrunner signup function. If you are not using setUserIdentity, pass the netcore_device_guid instead.
import io.linkrunner.sdk.LinkRunner
import io.linkrunner.sdk.models.request.UserDataRequest

val userData = UserDataRequest(
    id = "123", // Your user ID (same as Netcore setUserIdentity)
    // ...other user fields
    netcoreDeviceGuid = "NETCORE_DEVICE_GUID", // Required if not using setUserIdentity
)

LinkRunner.getInstance().signup(userData = userData)
You can get the netcoreDeviceGuid from the Netcore SDK in your app.

Sync with Netcore (Optional)

Use the Sync feature in the following scenarios:
  • First time after adding your Netcore credentials
  • If you see discrepancies in attribution data on Netcore profiles
To sync, click the Sync with Netcore button in the Linkrunner integration settings. This process may take a while depending on the number of users.

Viewing Attribution Data

After the integration is complete, you can view the attribution data in Netcore:
  1. Navigate to a user profile in the Netcore dashboard
  2. Look for the user attributes section
  3. You’ll see lr_campaign and lr_ad_network attributes with the corresponding values
This data can be used to:
  • Create segments based on acquisition source
  • Personalize messaging based on campaign origin
  • Analyze user behavior by acquisition channel
