How to enable this integration

To utilize this integration, your organization will need an account on ZenVideo OTT with branded apps as well as an account with AppsFlyer. 

You can sign up for an AppsFlyer account through this page.

1. Login to your AppsFlyer Account.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions at Adding an app to AppsFlyer to add apps for each of your corresponding ZenVideo OTT-powered apps.
3. If your apps are already live, you will need to input the app store listing urls for each platform. You can get the urls by visiting your OTT Admin and selecting Manage > Platforms.
   Then, select the Live button corresponding to each platform. This will open the store listing for the platform.
   
   
   
   Copy the store listing url and paste it into the AppsFlyer admin’s app configuration.
   If your apps are not yet live, reach out to your Account Manager and they will be able to provide you with the required values to input into AppsFlyer for each app.
4. Click on App Settings in the sidebar.
5. Copy the Dev key for each platform and send this to your Account Manager. You may find that AppsFlyer provides you with the same Dev key for each platform, or they can differ, depending on your specific configuration.
   
6. ZenVideo’s apps team will rebuild your apps and data will start flowing into your AppsFlyer account.
