Overview

An attribution window is the time period after an ad interaction within which an install or in-app event is credited to that ad.

Attribution Window : Full Definition An attribution window (also called a lookback window) defines how long after an ad interaction (a click or an impression) a subsequent install or conversion can be attributed to that ad.

A 7-day click attribution window means that if a user clicks your ad and installs the app within 7 days, that install is credited to the ad.

Attribution windows exist for both click interactions (typically 7–30 days) and view interactions (typically 1–24 hours).
