Analytics-App

What is it?#

App Analytics incorporated on mobile applications in conjunction with the Resulticks Smart Link can be a valuable source of behavioural information such as:-

  • Traffic source
  • Screens viewed
  • Time spent per screen
  • User interaction at each screen
Integration with app analytics enables Resulticks to provide a broad range of analytics used across a number of modules such as Campaign analytics, Audience 360, and the Dashboard. This information is also utilized to refine campaigns, web pages, and customer journeys.

Three-step process#

Setting up app analytics follows a three-step process.

  1. Setup a data connector to integrate the relevant App Analytics platforms and domain using the Data exchange section under Preferences.
  2. Configure analytics setting the relevant primary goal for a Single dimension, Event trigger, or a Multi dimension campaign.
  3. Then track at the individual level by optionally using the Resulticks Smart Link as part of the campaign. Please refer to Creating a smart link, for more information.
