How to map ad revenue to conversion values

CV Mapping Recommendations

1. How to map ad revenue to conversion values

1. Determine the conversion value categories for every aggregated ad revenue computed on the device within the 24 hours following installation, based on historical data.
2. Implement the conversion value buckets in the SDK: map accumulated ad revenue to conversion values.
3. Send the corresponding conversion value to Tenjin (and Apple) using the updatePostbackConversionValue(_:) method in the Tenjin SDK when the ad impression happens every time until 24 hours of install.

Note: The mapping of ad revenue to conversion values may change over time and require updates in the app. You also need to integrate Impression Level Revenue Data(ILRD) in the mediation SDK.

2. How to map ad impressions to conversion values

1. Figure out the conversion value buckets for each accumulated ad impression calculated on the device for 24 hours since the install using historical data.
2. Implement the conversion value buckets in the SDK: map accumulated ad impressions to conversion values.
3. Send the conversion value (impression counts) to Tenjin (and Apple) using updatePostbackConversionValue(_:) method in the Tenjin SDK every time the impression happens until the first 24 hours of install.

Note: The mapping of ad impressions to conversion values may change over time and require updates in the app.

3. How to map sessions to conversion values

1. Count the sessions as they are accumulated over a 24 hour period since the install.
2. Send the CV (accumulated session count) to Tenjin (and Apple) using updatePostbackConversionValue(_:) method in Tenjin SDK every time the session occurs until the first 24 hours of install.

Examples

• IAP and In-App event mapping
• Ad Impressions and IAP mapping (Hybrid Games)
• Custom events mapping

Understanding Postback Timer (For SKAN 3.0 or lower)

In the postback sent from Apple to the ad network, there are two different types of timers:

1. A 24 hours timer: This can be reset multiple times and has a defined duration of 24 hours
2. A Random timer: Once it starts, it can't reset. The duration is random, between 0-24hours

• When you fire updatePostbackConversionValue(), the 24 hours timer starts. If you decide to fire updatePostbackConversionValue(_:) again, the 24 hours timer is reset to zero and starts again.

• Every time you fire updatePostbackConversionValue(_:), the 24 hours timer will reset.

• Suppose you don't fire updatePostbackConversionValue(_:) before the 24 hours timer expires, a random timer will start. Once the random timer starts, you can't update the conversion value anymore.

• At the end of the random timer, the postback is sent to the ad network. This postback may or may not include a conversion value (it will be the latest value you set for this specific user)

In Tenjin, we give developers full flexibility to choose whatever conversion values they want to map to a specific user event. Tenjin's Customer Success team is happy to work with you to figure out the best implementation for your app. Please contact support@tenjin.com for more custom solutions.
