Appsflyer (Cohort)

AppsFlyer Audiences is a privacy-first audience segmentation and analytics solution aimed at increasing user retention and LTV through personalized interactions on owned and paid channels. With Audiences, you can build, manage, and connect your audiences to more than 70 different partners and measure their performance and incremental impact from a single dashboard.

By sending Amplitude cohorts to AppsFlyer Audiences, you can use your first-party Amplitude data to create rich audiences that power performance and organic marketing initiatives at scale.

Considerations

• You must define a separate data destination in Amplitude for each app for which you are syncing data to AppsFlyer. For example, if you have an Android and an iOS app, you need to create two destinations in Amplitude: one for the Android app, and one for the iOS app.
