Remerge utilizes the Adbrix Original tracker click URL to achieve the following goals:
- Ensure the most optimal user experience by deep linking the user directly to a specific in-app location.
- Notify Adbrix Original of a click that should come from Remerge.
The following guide takes you through the process of Android and iOS tracker generation with Adbrix Original. To support you with an especially user-friendly implementation, we have split this guide into two parts: the first is meant for your Developer, while the latter, Marketer. In case of any questions, please reach out to your Remerge Account Manager.
