Singular

Singular is a unified marketing analytics platform that delivers attribution, cost aggregation, marketing analytics, creative reporting, and workflow automation.

The Braze and Singular integration allows you to import paid install attribution data to segment intelligently within your lifecycle campaigns.

Prerequisites

Integration

Step 1: Map user IDs

Android

If you have an Android app, you will need to include the following code snippet, which passes a unique Braze user ID to Singular.

String appboyDeviceId = Braze.getInstance(context).getDeviceId();
SingularConfig config = new SingularConfig("SDK KEY", "SDK SECRET")
  .withGlobalProperty(“brazeDeviceID”, appboyDeviceId, true);

iOS

For those using the Swift SDK v5.7.0+, if you wish to continue using IDFV as the mutual identifier, you must ensure that the useUUIDAsDeviceId field is set to false so there is no disruption of the integration.

If set to true, you must implement the iOS device ID mapping for Swift in order to pass the Braze device_id to Singular upon app install in order for Braze to appropriately match iOS attributions.

SingularConfig* config = [[SingularConfig
  alloc] initWithApiKey:SDKKEY andSecret:SDKSECRET];

  [config setGlobalProperty:@"brazeDeviceId" withValue:brazeDeviceId
  overrideExisting:YES];
  [Singular start:config];

1
config.setGlobalProperty("brazeDeviceId", withValue: brazeDeviceId, overrideExisting: true)

Step 2: Get the Braze data import key

In Braze, navigate to Partner Integrations > Technology Partners and select Singular.

Here, you will find the REST endpoint and generate your Braze data import key. After the key is generated, you can create a new key or invalidate an existing one.

You will need to provide the data import key and REST endpoint to your Singular account manager to complete the integration.

Step 3: Confirm the integration

Once Braze receives attribution data from Singular, the status connection indicator on the Singular technology partners page in Braze will change from “Not Connected” to “Connected”. A timestamp of the last successful request will also be included.

Note that this will not happen until we receive data about an attributed install. Organic installs, which should be excluded from the Singular postback, are ignored by our API and are not counted when determining if a successful connection was established.

Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) attribution data

Attribution data for Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) campaigns is not available through our partners. These media sources do not permit their partners to share attribution data with third parties and, therefore, our partners cannot send that data to Braze.

Singular click tracking URLs in Braze (optional)

Using click tracking links in your Braze campaigns will allow you to easily see which campaigns are driving app installs and re-engagement. As a result, you’ll be able to measure your marketing efforts more effectively and make data-driven decisions on where to invest more resources for the maximum ROI.

To get started with Singular click tracking links, visit their documentation. You can insert the Singular click tracking links into your Braze campaigns directly. Singular will then use their probabilistic attribution methodologies to attribute the user that has clicked on the link. We recommend appending your Singular tracking links with a device identifier to improve the accuracy of attributions from your Braze campaigns. This will deterministically attribute the user that has clicked on the link.
