AppsFlyer Ltd Google Ads tracking template

AppsFlyer is a mobile attribution platform. The Google Ads tracking template routes app-install clicks through AppsFlyer's servers to attribute them to the correct campaign, ad group and keyword before redirecting users to the app store.

How to install in Google Ads

  1. Open Google Ads → AdminAccount settingsTracking.
  2. Paste the redirect into Tracking template. Replace account / UID placeholders from the vendor dashboard.
  3. Put UTMs or other query tools in Final URL suffix — do not merge them into the redirect URL by hand.
  4. Click Test, confirm {lpurl} resolves, then Save.

Why this matters

AppsFlyer is a mobile attribution platform. The Google Ads tracking template routes app-install clicks through AppsFlyer's servers to attribute them to the correct campaign, ad group and keyword before redirecting users to the app store.

Cross-check ValueTrack tokens in the Google Ads parameter guide. For static UTMs without macros, use the Campaign URL builder.

Combine with other Google Ads stacks

Redirect owns Tracking template. Attribution / UTM keys go in Final URL suffix so both survive.
