Create Your App

Add your mobile app to InfluTo and get your API key

Before You Start

Make sure your app is published on:

  • Apple App Store (for iOS apps)
  • Google Play Store (for Android apps)
  • Or both (recommended for maximum reach)

Step 1: Navigate to Apps

  1. Log in to InfluTo Dashboard
  2. Click Apps in the sidebar
  3. Click "Add New App" button

Step 2: Add Your App

You have three ways to add your app:

Option A: Paste Store URL (Easiest)

Simply paste your App Store or Play Store URL:

# iOS App Store
https://apps.apple.com/app/your-app/id1234567890

# Google Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yourapp.package

The platform will automatically:

  • ✓ Scrape app name, icon, and description
  • ✓ Extract bundle ID / package name
  • ✓ Pre-fill all fields

Option B: Search by Name

  1. Type your app name in the search box
  2. Select platform (iOS / Android)
  3. Click search
  4. Select your app from results

Option C: Multi-Platform Apps

If you have both iOS and Android versions:

  1. Search for your app name
  2. You'll see results from both platforms
  3. Click "Select Both Platforms"
  4. Both versions will be linked automatically

💡 Pro Tip: Multi-Platform Setup

Linking both platforms allows you to track users across iOS and Android with a single campaign and unified analytics.

Step 3: Configure App Slug

The app slug is used in referral links:

https://influ.to/your-app-slug/REFERRAL123

Smart slug generation:

  • Automatically generated from your app name
  • Checks availability in real-time
  • Must be 4+ characters
  • Globally unique across all apps

Step 4: Get Your API Key

After creating your app, you'll see:

  • API Key: it_live_abc123... (for production)
  • App ID: Unique identifier
  • Webhook URL: For RevenueCat integration

⚠️ Keep Your API Key Secret

Never commit API keys to Git. Store in environment variables or secure key storage.

Step 5: Configure Attribution Settings

Default settings work for most apps, but you can customize:

Attribution Window

  • Default: 72 hours (3 days)
  • Range: 24-168 hours (1-7 days)
  • Recommendation: 72 hours balances accuracy and conversion window

Attribution Method

  • IP + Fingerprint (Recommended): 95%+ accuracy, works without cookies
  • IP Only: Lower accuracy but faster

What's Next?

  1. Install SDK in your app
  2. Configure RevenueCat webhook
  3. Create your first campaign

Troubleshooting

App Not Found in Store

  • Verify app is published (not in review)
  • Check spelling of app name
  • Try searching by Bundle ID / Package Name

Slug Already Taken

  • Try a longer version of your app name
  • Add numbers or your company name
  • Slug must be globally unique

Can't Link iOS + Android

  • Apps must have similar names to auto-link
  • Use manual entry if auto-detection fails
  • Contact support for help with linking
