How to use the acquisition data in MoEngage

After MoEngage starts receiving data from Singular, you can leverage this data in the following ways.

User attributes

MoEngage tracks two user attributes: Campaign Name and Publisher Name. You can use these attributes in your campaigns, segmentation, and analytics. The Publisher Name and Campaign Name of install give you added insight into the persona of the user. You can leverage this data to enhance your onboarding campaigns and user funnels, and to personalize your marketing automation activities on MoEngage. The next sections list a few popular use cases for leveraging this data. Campaign Name and Publisher Name user attributes in MoEngage

Analyze the performance of different publishers

The Singular integration helps you analyze the effectiveness of your app install campaigns and sources in MoEngage. Using data already tracked in MoEngage—user events, conversion goals, and uninstalls—you can compare the performance of different app install campaigns and analyze the relative performance of installs from different publishers to optimize your marketing spend. To analyze this data, view the MoEngage acquisition dashboard.

Enhanced onboarding campaigns

You can use the Publisher Name and Campaign Name of install—available as user properties in MoEngage—to create segments and personalize the push notifications, in-app messages, emails, and SMS that you send through MoEngage. Install attribution data gives you an insight into how users could progress in their lifecycle right when they install the app. This is a very useful piece of information and can help you enhance the performance of your onboarding campaigns by improving retention, reducing the time to first conversion, and driving a higher LTV per user.
Publisher categoryUse case
Publishers where average sessions per user are lowSend push notifications periodically to increase the average number of sessions per user, right from the time users install the app.
Publishers where average LTV is highThese are your potential premium users. Implement a campaign strategy to nurture them into your premium-user segment.
Publishers where the uninstall rate is highIdentify users with a higher propensity to churn immediately after install, and incentivize them to make a first purchase—which can reduce your churn rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to Facebook data sharing policies, install data from Facebook can only be viewed in Singular and not sent to other platforms. These appear as Organic Installs in MoEngage. You can alternatively use the MoEngage APIs to send Facebook install data to MoEngage separately.
