App events & parameters guide for Adjust integration

Last updated: Thursday 2 July 2026.

This guide is designed for developers and technical marketers who are integrating their store app with advertising platforms using Adjust.

It includes:

A list of app events
Parameters for each event
Description and data type for each parameter
Use cases for each event
Corresponding naming conventions in ad platforms (e.g., Meta)

This reference helps you correctly set up Event Mapping and Parameter Mapping in Adjust to improve data quality and campaign performance.

Parameter mapping

If your app sends parameters using names that differ from those used by the advertising platform, you must map them in Adjust.

Example:

App sends: price
Facebook expects: fb_price

You must map these to ensure correct data interpretation.
