Setup steps
Before you begin
For the person who can change settings in the named platform.
Who does what
Someone with access to the relevant Kochava app creates the tracker. Operations configures report delivery and verifies it.
What to have ready
- Access to the relevant Kochava app and tracker settings. No AWS credentials are needed from you.
- An Apple Ads tracker for the app, or permission to create one.
Screenshots are reference examples; captions identify their sources. Your interface may differ. Use the account and agency details for your setup; example images do not confirm your access or data delivery.
Values you'll need
Agency name to select
BrightLakeCreate an acquisition tracker
Open Engagement → Campaign Manager → Add Tracker. Set Tracker Type to Acquisition and Media Partner to Apple Ads. Give the tracker a name that identifies the campaign.
Operations demo screenshot: the tracker form uses Apple Ads' former name, Apple Search Ads. Select the configured Agency Partner; sample tracker names and destination URLs are not values to copy.Official reference · Opens in a new tab Select the agency partner
Set Agency Partner to BrightLake, then save the tracker before sharing its Tracker ID.
Enter the saved Tracker ID
Copy the saved Apple Ads tracker's Kochava Tracker ID into setup. Check the tracker and selected Agency Partner before confirming.
Official Kochava reference screenshot: this Facebook example only locates the Tracker ID field, not an Apple Ads configuration. Customer identifiers are masked; copy the ID from your own saved Apple Ads tracker.Official reference · Opens in a new tab Operations configures report delivery
Operations uses Pulling Reports → Creating a Customized Report and Delivery Method → Custom S3 Bucket. The bucket, region, AWS Access Key and Secret Key are configured by operations. You do not need to supply S3 credentials.
Operations appends the Tracker ID
Operations uses Campaign_Name_TrackerID for Apple Ads campaign names so Kochava can match traffic to the tracker and agency view. You do not need to rename campaigns. Report delivery still needs operational verification before it is treated as usable.
Confirm completion and next steps
What to check
- The Apple Ads tracker and selected agency partner are saved with the correct Tracker ID.
- Operations verifies report delivery and campaign naming before treating the data as usable.
What happens next
Return to the original setup tab to enter or review your actual choices. Operations verifies provider access and data separately; reading this guide does not submit or activate your application.
