Can I Track Referrals and App Downloads in Real Time?
Referrals, yes. App installs, no. We track referrals as they happen, but we don't track installs. The App Download Action completes when the entrant clicks through to the store, not when they install.
To count installs, put your install tracking provider's deep links in the Action, and read the install numbers in that tool.
- On the How to Enter tab, add App Download. Add your App Name and your Apple App Store URL and Google Play URL, using tracking deep links if you have them.
- Add Viral Share so every entrant gets a referral link.
- Watch the Viral Share report for how many entrants shared, how many clicks their links got, how many became new entrants, and your top sharers.
Every click shows on the Actions / Entries tab as it happens, and you can export it as a CSV. To match installs to entrants, compare that export with your tracking provider's data.
