CPI for Facebook

Recently, we had issued an Android game app and wanted to use Facebook to do advertisement to the app.

There is a CPI option in the Ads activity. However, Facebook complain “Insufficient Install History” when we about the end of the Ads setting. The full statement is listed below.

Insufficient Install History: Your account does not have enough install history to start using billing event for mobile app install ads. Please visit https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/cost-per-action-ads/ to learn more.

I have searched a bit on web. They said it is because my app potentially do not have a report scheme to Facebook for the app-id and mobile-id.

This is one link: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/community/question/?id=10152896877617255

However, I did included facebook plugin and successfully using it.

facebook = require( “facebook” )

local FBAppID = “XXX”

facebook.publishInstall( FBAppID )

Does it not enough? Or how can I know I had reported the needed install information to Facebook?

Thank you for your attention!

That should be sufficient. PublishInstall is just a way for Facebook to track if a user actually installed and ran  your app. It doesn’t do anything more. Now what FB does with that… who knows.
