In my react native app, I have the branch.io & Facebook sdk integrated. I can see the number of installs in the branch dashboard.
I want to save the information to my db as well. Like I want to know which user, in particular, came from which Ad campaign. The documentation does not seem to give a clear indication of how to do that.
Please note that Branch Universal links work just fine. I can extract data from the link. Your help would be required for the case where I cannot put universal links like Facebook Ads.
Understanding your query here, I can understand that you are looking to fetch user data with respect to the campaign and ad level data from Facebook.
Facebook does not allow sharing of device-level information unless you sign the 'Advanced Mobile Measurement' agreement for Facebook. Once signed, you can get the data out to your internal database via Webhooks, the Daily Export API, and CSV Exports.
We cannot send device-level Facebook attribution data to third parties. Please instead consider analyzing this data in-house.
You can check on the link here for a better understanding : https://help.branch.io/using-branch/docs/facebook-faq-and-advanced-options#section-can-i-get-the-data-out
Hope the above helps.
Thanks

Anyone has similar e-mail and what to do?
Our app does not use share, like or comment functionality neither do we provide any user interface for users (only the o. We are using Facebook to prefill some user data on our site.

I asked for a more detailed answer and received an answer the next day:
Thank you for your response.
Facebook periodically reviews the websites and applications which are on it. Your application is in its review process currently. We are required to test the Facebook login functionality in order to conclude the review in totality. However, we are unable to do so.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate a Facebook integration (Login, Share and Like) on your submitted platform. To help us conclude the review process, could you kindly share the details regarding the location of a Facebook integration and how to navigate to it on your website URL.
This review is essential to Facebook as we want to offer the best experience to users as well as developers like yourself. Please help us in bringing your application into compliance by working with us.
Alternatively, you could aid us by sending us credentials of a test user which is already registered and connected to an FB account within the app. You can get all the information related to creating a test user here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-users.
Please feel free to get in touch with us regarding any doubts or queries you might have.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
My app contains the functionality of a facebook login. I made an instruction and a test user of the application so that Facebook employees could test the functionality used in my application.
Normally they write down what is wrong and explain how to fix it. If you are not sure you can reply them back and ask how to fix it. I manage to fix my issue which was similar to the one explain below by emailing facebook.
https://technuisance.com/facebook/facebook-policy-warning-for-app-solved.html
I got the same message from Facebook two months ago. In my case, I didn't find a solution in time and Facebook penalize me by deactivating the app.
Therefore, you must attend to it if you do not want the same to happen to you. Facebook uses software similar to this to check for failures on your site and assigns a score according to its performance. That's why they send you such a generic message.
I suggest you use PageSpeed Insights to receive a report on the performance of your website. In addition, the platform gives you suggestions for optimization and improvement; Surely there you will find some clue of what may be failing.
I have created a Branch link with some keys and values.
My app uses those values for multiple reasons. It works well when I open the link directly on my mobile browser or from a message.
But I want to use this link in a Facebook App download ad campaign. I have putted it as the ad deeplink. But when I install and then open the app via the ad thoses values are not sent.
Does anyone has managed to send keys/values via a branch link through a Facebook ad ?
Thanks

Jackie from Branch here.
Branch supports deep-linked Facebook ads. We've created an FAQ page exactly for this and there are a few things you can check to diagnose the issue. You can go through them here (https://docs.branch.io/pages/deep-linked-ads/facebook-ads-faq/#troubleshooting-deep-linking). I'd also encourage you to use Facebook's tester tool, as mentioned in our FAQ doc.
Hope this helps. If you continue to experience issues, please feel free to reach out to us directly at integrations#branch.io. When you do, be sure to include your Branch app ID and the ad links you're using so that we can investigate further!
I'm trying to create app install ads on Facebook for an App. I would like to track installs via Dynamic Links so I can see the effectiveness of each ad/campaign for user retention & various conversion events down the funnel.
With Facebook Ads, the only option for tracking is to add a dynamic link to the ad. However, the Firebase link is not a dynamic link, but a web link, so it isn't accepted by Facebook Ads.
I'm curious if others have had this problem and if there is a solution.
I believe this may not currently be possible.
At Branch.io, we have a workaround for this by inputting a backup URI scheme link into the Facebook ad. But it appears the Firebase dynamic link does not have the required App Links tags set to support this method.
You may either need to rely on the Facebook console to track these, or use a different deep link provider.
We have tried to create an App that will be able to access only Reporting and Insights for a user via Marketing Insights API. I have noticed that the requirement for Basic access is listed as:
"Apps should create sufficient ads that pass ad review and do not contain bad creatives"
But my App is NOT intended to create ads. It is a data reporting App and without standard access I have to add each user into Ads API under Advertising Accounts section of the App Settings. I would like to use this app across FB accounts of my clients to only pull data related to the ads. Could you please help me understand how to accomplish this without having to create a separate Dev app for each client?
You could try to apply directly for the Standard Access tier. In that form you can explain your use case and then it will be processed.
I would advise to already make various valid requests from your Development Tier to show you have a correct implementation.
I am developing iPhone app where I need to provide integration with different social media like FaceBook, Twitter, Google etc. I have seen couple of iPhone applications that allow people to login using their existing FB or Twitter accounts and allow to post comments, like/unlike, follow people etc. I want to implement something similar but not sure where to start with. Could anyone please suggest me right direction? Any documentation and sample code would be great help.
Thanks.
http://developers.facebook.com/ has just about all the info you might need.
Further also look in Apples library as it contains sample code and extensive information about most topics.
#AppleDeveloper, check out Socialize; this is exactly the problem we're working to solve: http://www.GetSocialize.com. Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
The problem with just putting Facebook into your app is that your download base of users aren't all friends on Facebook. So any sharing in the app using Facebook will only go out to that user's friends.
Socialize lets all users of the app see the social actions other users of the app take, in addition to allowing those social actions to be shared on Facebook (and soon Twitter & Google+ as well). Then we give you a reporting dashboard so you can see the effect of all the social actions on downloads & user engagement: http://go.GetSocialize.com/dashboard
Let me know if this is the type of thing you're looking for.
