Migrating to Affise MMP: A Practical Guide for Smooth Transition

Preparation Phase

Analyze Your Current Infrastructure
- List all your apps, advertising partners, and traffic sources.
- Record all tracking links, postbacks, integrations, and BI/reporting connections.
- Determine the contract expiration dates with your current MMP.

- Inform clients, partners, the development team, and analysts about the upcoming migration.
- Align on a migration schedule to minimize risk.
Create an Affise MMP Account and Set Up Access
- Register your account on Affise MMP.

Set up accounts and permissions for all necessary team members.

Affise MMP setup	1 day	Tech Team
Partner integration	1-2 days	Account Team
Testing	1 day	QA/Tech Team
Final migration	1 day	All

Affise MMP SDK Integration in Applications

Familiarize Yourself with Affise MMP SDK Documentation:
- Android SDK
- iOS SDK
- React Native SDK
- Flutter SDK
- Unity SDK
Integrate the SDK into Mobile Apps
- Add the Affise SDK to each application according to the documentation for your platform.
- Perform basic SDK setup (initialization with your keys and app IDs).
- Test SDK performance in a staging environment before release.
Configure User Event Transmission
- Set up automatic transmission of standard events (install, launch, etc.).
- Add custom events (registration, purchase, screen views, target actions, etc.).
- Compare the full list of events with those tracked by your previous MMP to ensure analytics continuity.
- Use the Affise MMP dashboard to check that all events are received and displayed correctly.
Release App Updates
- Test the integration in QA builds.
- Publish updated app versions with the integrated Affise SDK to app stores.

Migration and Setup of Tracking Links, Postbacks, and Integrations

Create Apps in Affise MMP
- Create a new app entry in the Affise MMP panel for each mobile app.
- Fill in all required parameters (bundle ID, platform, app store links, etc.).
Generate New Tracking Links
- Generate new tracking links for each advertising partner/traffic source (considering new partner accounts).
- Check parameter transmission (utm, click id, etc.) for accuracy.
Set Up Postbacks
- Set up postback URLs in Affise MMP to send events to partner systems.
- Verify that all events and parameters are mapped correctly.
Coordinate Integrations with Partners
- Send new tracking links to partners.
- Ensure partners have implemented and confirmed the new links on their side.
Set Up BI/Reporting
- Test data exports and integrations with your agency’s BI/reporting systems (e.g. : Google Cloud, Amazon S3, Power BI).

End-to-End Testing

Perform Test Conversions and Events
- Test all tracking links and event transmissions from the app.
- Compare data between Affise MMP and partner systems for accuracy.
Validate Analytics
- Compare key metrics (installs, purchases, registrations, etc.) between the old and new MMPs.
- Double-check reporting in Affise MMP.
Check BI/Integration and Postback Accuracy
- Make sure all data is reaching your external systems and partners correctly.

Partner Registration and Tracking Link Setup

Register Partners in Affise MMP
- Inform all advertising partners about the need to register on Affise MMP (if they don’t have an account yet).
- Provide partners with instructions or a link for registration: Affiliate registration on Affise
- Support partners during the registration and activation process if needed.
Set Up Partner Tracking Links
- After registration, partners should create their partner tracking links in the Affise MMP system.
- Make sure the new links are coordinated with the agency and correctly transmit required parameters (click id, subid, etc.).
- Ensure all partners update their campaigns to use the new Affise tracking links.

Final Migration

Switch All Campaigns to New Affise MMP Tracking Links
- Fully migrate all traffic to Affise, and discontinue parallel use of the old MMP.
Inform All Stakeholders of the Completion
- Distribute guides and instructions on working with Affise MMP to partners and internal teams.
Closely Monitor in the Initial Days
- Respond promptly to any issues, and closely track event and data accuracy.

Recommendations

Plan migration during periods of lower traffic to minimize business impact.
Save data exports from your old MMP for historical reference and comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the typical timeline for migrating to Affise MMP?

Migrating to Affise MMP follows a structured timeline totaling about 1-2 weeks, starting with 1-2 days for data prep and team notifications by the project lead, followed by partner setup, SDK integration (2-3 days), Affise configuration, testing, and final cutover.

This approach minimizes disruptions, much like the streamlined steps in our step-by-step guide to switching from Keitaro to Affise, which covers campaigns and postbacks.

2. Which teams handle key steps in Affise MMP migration?

Teams are assigned clearly:

Account teams manage partner registration (1-2 days), mobile dev handles SDK integration (2-3 days), tech/QA covers setup and testing (2 days total), with all hands for the final day.

Start by setting up accounts and permissions for everyone involved to ensure smooth handoffs.

Related tips appear in our affiliate platform migration guide, emphasizing minimal downtime across channels.

3. How do I ensure a smooth Affise MMP setup and testing phase?

Dedicate 1 day to Affise MMP setup by the tech team after SDK integration, then 1 day for comprehensive QA testing before going live—this catches issues early.

Postbacks and tracking links are crucial here; learn more in our postback tracking explainer, which ties into MMP reliability.
