Question
Can I send data to AppsFlyer in cloud mode from Segment?
Product
Twilio Segment
Environment
Segment Console
Answer
Segment's server-side connection with AppsFlyer is meant to augment data that is collected via the AppsFlyer SDK. If you have the AppsFlyer SDK bundled into your code natively, then you can send your Segment data downstream via cloud mode. It is important to keep in mind that AppsFlyer has very specific requirements when it comes to accepting events. You will need to ensure all events contain context.device.type and either the AppsFlyerID or context.device.advertisingId. If neither of these fields are available, then context.device.id may be the final fallback if both Can Omit AppsFlyerId and Fallback to IDFV when advertisingId not present are enabled.
