NOTE: Before an Install Campaign can be set up, the corresponding app must be properly created within Free App Analytics. Refer to our Create/Edit Apps support document for more information.

NOTE: The Install Campaign setup process for iOS and Android is similar and therefore this document will cover the setup for both operating systems, with specific differences noted.

NOTE: Free App Analytics accounts will only have access to run campaigns with Self-Attributing Networks (for example, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc.). The full list of SANs you can run campaigns with will be included in the dropdown in your Kochava dashboard. You will need an upgraded account in order to run campaigns with non-SAN partners.
