mParticle is a Customer Data Platform (CDP), providing Remerge with the relevant user base and event data. Remerge requires confirmation of an app open to measure campaign performance. In certain scenarios (and depending on campaign goals), both app open and conversion events are necessary to assess the effectiveness of a marketing campaign.
Below is our step-by-step guide to activation of audience forwarding from mParticle to Remerge.
Please note: Audience forwarding is possible both whether you have integrated mParticle's SDK in your app or not, in which case, you are utilizing mParticle's data warehouse without their SDK. That being said, if you have in fact integrated mParticle's SDK into your app, please follow the instructions on our Event Forwarding page. In case of any questions, please reach out to your Remerge Account Manager.
