Integrate Apple Search Ads

With our Apple Search Ads integration you can:

• Continue to follow your campaign's install base for months to understand the long-tail revenue generated from subscriptions, even without an app open.
• Filter and segment DataSenses charts by Apple Search Ads campaigns or ad groups.

Collecting Apple Search Ads data is a two part process: first, you must collect the user's attribution token and send it to DataSenses, then DataSenses will request attribution data from Apple directly within a 24 hour period.

Once attribution data is collected from Apple, it will be available via DataSenses system and other integrations.

Configure Integration

• Navigate to your project in the DataSenses dashboard and choose 'Apple Search Ads' from the Partner Marketplace menu.
• Click on Add Apple Search Ads integration to add the integration.
• Go to Account Settings > API in your Search Ads dashboard, and paste your public key in the Client Credentials section in settings of your API User.
