Historical Data Transfer

The following guide takes you through the process of historical data transfer from your Branch integration to Remerge. In case of any questions, please reach out to your Remerge Account Manager. 

Historical data transfer can be achieved by utilizing Branch's Daily Exports, Custom Exports (for ex-Tune clients) or our Alternative Solution.  Regardless of your preferred method, ensure to provide Remerge with the following:

• 1 CSV file per OS:
  • Format example: android_purchasers.csv.
• Device IDs:
  • IDFA for iOS.
  • Google Ad ID for Android.
• Event Timestamps:
  • App Opens and Purchase Events usually suffice. That being said, we encourage you to discuss the topic of events with your Account Manager to ensure the selected events suit your business needs best.

1. Daily Exports 

The daily exports consist of granular Branch event data that can be pulled on a daily basis either via the Dashboard in a CSV form or directly from the API. 

Please note: Data is available only for 7 days from the moment of export. For further support, please visit our Custom Export (ex-TUNE clients) and/or Alternative Solution sections. 

1.1 CSV Exports

As previously mentioned, you may initiate a request to pull a report from the dashboard, in CSV form. Please follow the below instructions, as displayed in the accompanying screenshot.

• Log in to your Branch Account, go to the left-hand navigation of the dashboard and click on Setup & Testing > Data Import & Export > Exports. 
• Go to the Daily Exports page and select your timeframe (last 1/3/7 days or Custom).
• Select event type in one of the following options:
  • Download arrow (specific events)
  • Export All button (En masse).
• Confirmation:
  • Await a confirmation email verifying the details of your request.
  • Once your export is processed, await another email containing the requested CSV export attachment.
• Please note: 
  • Larger exports require longer processing time.
  • Branch recommends exporting raw data within 7 days.

1.2 Data Export API

2. Custom Exports (ex-TUNE)
