How to Map

🚧

Please Note

Mapping can be configured by only those Admins that have access to Account Management. If you are unable to configure revenue mapping, then please get in touch with the account owner.

Now let’s show you how you can set it up.

Step 1: Select Currency

Using the dropdown nested under Revenue Currency, you can select the currency in which you report your revenues, as shown below.

Once saved, you will start seeing revenue metrics in the selected currency across your dashboard and scheduled reports.

🚧

Please Note

Revenue is simply a sum of the monetary value of the transactions made by your users. No currency conversions are computed in cases where purchases are made in a different currency.

Step 2: Select Revenue Event

The term, Revenue Event is an alias for all the purchase events performed by your users. Depending on your business, this could be anything like, Subscription Purchased, Checkout Complete, Flight Booked, Hotel Booked, Course Enrolled, Test Purchased, Insurance Policy Purchased, Personal Loan Approved, In-app Purchase Complete and so on.

Such user actions are called custom events in your dashboard, and each one can be mapped as a Revenue Event, as shown below.

Step 3: Add Revenue Attribute

Next, you will need to add a Revenue Attribute to the selected Revenue Event. Doing so will tell us exactly what to compute when calculating the revenue for a campaign or journey.

As discussed under Events and Event Attributes - attributes are details attached to an event that conveys the complete context in which a user performed it. Thus, the term Revenue Attribute is an alias for the attribute that tracks the numerical value of the Revenue Event.

For example, with reference to the purchase events discussed under Step 1, you will need to add the following revenue attributes to each to complete the mapping:

Updating Revenue Mapping

All your Revenue Mapping settings can be changed anytime you like. Modifying the currency, adding or removing revenue events will not have any impact on the existing data shown across your dashboard. These changes will be applied only to future campaigns and journeys

Removing a Revenue Event

You can always choose to delete a Revenue Event if it has become redundant. Doing so will disable revenue tracking for all future campaigns and journeys that use the event for tracking conversions. Here's how you can go about it:

Step 1: Click the 'Minus' icon placed beside the attribute dropdown, as shown below. Doing so will prompt you to re-confirm your decision.

  • And don't worry, you can always re-map the custom event for tracking revenue if it becomes relevant in the future. :)
