Create an Amazon Ads Campaign

Feature Summary: The following document describes how to set up a campaign for Amazon’s Self Attributing Network (SAN). Kochava enhances your install and event data with the Amazon ad impression or click metadata directly from Amazon to allow for extremely accurate and complete data.

 

 

Data Needed Before Beginning Process:

  • Amazon Ads Advertiser ID
  • Amazon Ads Conversion Type
  • Bundle ID
  • Amazon Ads ASIN

NOTE: The Amazon Ads integration supports Android mobile, Fire TV, and Fire tablet apps.


Create an Install Tracker:

 

  1. Log in to Kochava.
  2. Select the desired Account and App.
  3. Select Links > Campaign Manager.
  4.  

     

  1. Click Add a Tracker or Select Segment Tools () > Add a Tracker.
    1. Select the Campaign.
    2. Select the Segment.

    NOTE: In order to streamline the Campaign/Segment/Tracker creation process a feature has been added to allow the creation of campaigns and segments while creating a new tracker. For more information about creating a campaign or segment while adding a new tracker, refer to our Create an Install Campaign support document.

     

    Add a Tracker

    NOTE: When a Tracker is created, Kochava automatically generates a name for the Tracker. We recommend that you replace the Tracker name at this point with a clear name of your choosing.

  2. Select Tracker Type > Acquisition. (default setting)
  3. Select Media Partner > Amazon Ads.
  4. Select Agency Partner. (optional)
  5. Select Default Tracker:
    1. On
    2. Off (default)
    3. NOTE: Selecting On will allow SAN network traffic to funnel to the default tracker when no tracker ID is present. If a default tracker is not set up and the tracker ID is not appended to the partner campaign name, that data will be bucketed in the most recently set up tracker for that network.

  6. Enter the Destination URL.
  7. NOTE: The Destination URL is not relevant and should simply be your website.

  8. Enter a Deep Link. (optional)
  9. Enter any Custom Parameter(s). (optional)
