A

Analytics event

App growth

A record of a specific user action

The app sends an event when a user opens a screen, taps a button, or completes an action.

Exampleregistration_started and registration_completed reveal how many people abandon registration.

ANR

App growth

An Android app freeze

Android records an ANR when the interface does not respond to the user for too long.

ExampleThe user taps a button, the screen freezes, and Android offers to close the app.

ASO

App growth

Improving an app's store page

Work on the title, description, screenshots, rating, and queries so the app is easier to find and more convincing to install.

ExampleRewrite the first screenshot captions so the value is clear without reading the full description.

B

Bot token

Affiliate Academy

The bot's key

The string @BotFather gives you, which grants full control of the bot. Treat it as a password: whoever has it runs the bot.

ExampleThe token is pasted once, into the Telegram connection inside Make.

Bridge

Affiliate Academy

An intermediate explanatory step

A quiz, article, channel, or bot between an ad and the primary landing page. Use it only when it helps someone make an informed decision.

ExampleA four-question quiz explains the learning format before starting a Telegram bot.

C

Campaign

Affiliate Academy

Source + creative + offer

A specific combination of channel, advertising asset, and offer that you can measure and improve.

ExampleTikTok + a short trade breakdown + an invitation to open a demo account.

Campaign

Affiliate Academy

A separate dashboard test

A dashboard entity that separates results for sources, placements, or creatives without manually changing link parameters.

ExampleThe “Telegram — first post” campaign shows results from that placement only.

Chat ID

Affiliate Academy

The chat address

The numeric id of the chat the bot writes to. A private chat has a positive id; a group id starts with a minus sign.

Example-1001234567890 is a group id.

Churn

Affiliate Academy

Audience drop-off

The share of users who stopped returning or being active during a selected period.

ExampleThe report showed high churn after week one.

Click ID

Affiliate Academy

Visit identifier

The unique click code your tracker assigns to a visit and receives back with the event. Without it, the event cannot be tied to a source.

ExampleThe click_id shows the deposit came from the Telegram channel, not YouTube.

Clicks

Affiliate Academy

Visits through the link

The number of recorded visits through an affiliate link.

ExampleThe creative generated 240 Clicks in three days.

Commission

Affiliate Academy

Credited affiliate commission

Partner compensation calculated under program terms from the recorded activity of referred users.

ExampleThe Commission amount is displayed in the affiliate dashboard.

Conversion

App growth

The share of people moving to the next step

Shows how many people who started a step completed it or reached the next one.

Example80 registrations completed from 100 started: 80 ÷ 100 × 100% = 80% conversion.

Crash-free rate

App growth

The share of users without an app crash

The closer it is to 100%, the fewer users experienced an app crash during the selected period.

Example99.5% crash-free users means 0.5% experienced at least one crash.

CTR

Affiliate Academy

Click-To-Registration Rate

The percentage of people who register after clicking a material. It helps compare how well a creative and the post-click journey lead to registration under comparable conditions.

ExampleA video received 1,000 link clicks and 25 registrations—a CTR of 2.5%.

D

D1 / D7 / D30

App growth

Return after 1, 7, or 30 days

D means day. The metric shows what share of a new user group returned after the selected number of days.

ExampleD7 = 18% means 18 of every 100 new users returned after seven days.

Deposits

Affiliate Academy

All recorded deposits

The total number of deposits, including repeat funding by active users.

ExampleSeven new users made 12 Deposits.

F

L

Landing page

Affiliate Academy

The page after the click

The page someone reaches through an affiliate link and where they see the next action.

ExampleThe partner selected a current mobile landing page with a short registration flow.

Lead

Affiliate Academy

A person who followed your link

A potential customer who came from your content or advertising. Registration and deposit may happen later.

ExampleThe video brought 120 leads to the registration page.

LTV

Affiliate Academy

Long-term user value

The value a group of users brings over the full relationship. It is assessed from data, not promised in advance.

ExampleComparing LTV across two sources helps show where an audience stays active longer.

M

Macro

Affiliate Academy

A value placeholder

A placeholder in curly braces inside the URL. The system replaces it with a real value when it sends the request.

Example{sumdep} becomes 50.00.

O

Open rate

App growth

The share of delivered messages that were opened

Shows how many users tapped a delivered message. Open rate alone does not show whether they completed a useful action after the tap.

Example200 of 1,000 delivered push messages were opened: open rate is 20%.

Operation

Affiliate Academy

A Make operation

The billing unit: every module that runs spends one operation. Filters cost nothing.

ExampleAn event that reaches Telegram costs two operations: receive and send.

P

PnL

Affiliate Academy

Profit and loss

A measure of financial performance. RevShare terms can also include a percentage of turnover; this is part of RevShare, not a separate payment model. Always check the terms of the specific offer in the dashboard.

ExampleThe partner checked the offer rules to see how RevShare accounts for the percentage of turnover.

Postback

Affiliate Academy

An event notification

An HTTP request the affiliate system sends to your address when a trader triggers an event.

ExampleA trader made a first deposit, so a request with the amount reached your tracker.

Push notification

App growth

A short app message shown outside the app

It appears on the device and can return a user to one specific useful action. It is sent only when the user has granted notification permission.

ExampleA message about a new item in a saved topic opens that item through a deep link.

R

Regs

Affiliate Academy

Registrations

The number of users who registered after following an affiliate link.

ExampleThe 240 visits resulted in 36 Regs.

Retention

App growth

The share of users who return

Shows how many people reopen the app after a set period from installation or registration.

ExampleIf 18 of 100 new users return after seven days, D7 retention is 18%.

S

S2S

Affiliate Academy

Server-to-server

Data passed directly between servers, without the user's browser. Postbacks work this way, so blockers and cookie settings do not stop them.

ExampleThe event reached the tracker even though the user had closed the browser.

Scenario

Affiliate Academy

A Make workflow

A chain of modules: receive data, check a condition, take an action. It only catches events while it is switched on.

ExampleA three-module scenario: webhook → filter → Telegram.

Search semantics

App growth

A map of search queries and the needs behind them

Collects user wording, groups queries by intent, and connects each group to the right product function or page.

Example“Where is my status?” and “check application” share one intent: view a process result.

Segment

App growth

Users sharing a behavior or characteristic

A segment groups people by platform, market, interest, or action so the team does not send the same message to everyone.

ExampleAndroid users who started but did not complete registration in the past 24 hours.

SEO

App growth

Improving website pages for search

Useful pages answer real user questions and help people find the product through search engines.

ExampleOne page answers one question, explains constraints, and leads to a relevant app journey.

Sub ID

Affiliate Academy

Technical postback parameter

A tracking parameter used in postbacks and reports. Do not add it to a link manually: create separate dashboard campaigns to compare sources and creatives.

ExampleCreate separate campaigns for a TikTok video and a Telegram placement instead of changing link parameters manually.

T

W

Webhook

Affiliate Academy

A receiving address

An address that waits for an incoming request and starts a scenario. In Make it comes from the Custom webhook module.

ExampleThe postback reached the webhook address, so the scenario started.
