We’re excited to announce that GoKart is now integrated with the AppsFlyer InCost API. This means your advertisers using AppsFlyer as their MMP can now view campaign spend data directly within their AppsFlyer dashboard.
How it works
GoKart sends cost data to AppsFlyer asynchronously via their InCost API.
We automatically send cost data twice a day at 12 PM and 12 AM UTC.
All cost data is reported in the UTC timezone.
