Quick start

You need two things for the dashboard to say anything useful: one place money goes out, and one place money comes in. Everything after that is refinement.

Before you begin

• Admin or read access to at least one ad account you spend on.
• Access to App Store Connect or the Google Play Console for at least one app.
• Ten minutes. Most of it is waiting for the first sync.

1. Connect a spend source

1. 1

   Open Integrations

   In the Revenue Sensor console, go to Integrations. Providers are listed first; pick the one you want to connect.

2. 2

   Authorise

   Most ad platforms use OAuth — a popup opens, you sign in, and you approve read access. A few use API credentials you paste in instead.

3. 3

   Choose accounts

   After authorising you get the list of accounts that login can see. Select the ones you actually want to track. Anything you leave unselected is never fetched.

2. Connect a revenue source

Add App Store Connect, Google Play, or whichever monetization source pays you. The setup guides in the next section cover each one step by step — Apple needs an API key with a reporting role, Google Play needs a service account and a Cloud Storage bucket.

3. Wait for the first sync

The first sync backfills your available history and usually finishes in a few minutes. Large accounts take longer. You can leave the page — the connection card shows progress and turns green when it is done.

4. Read your first number

Open the dashboard and set the date range to last month. Spend, revenue and margin should all be populated. If revenue looks lower than you expected, that is usually correct: it is net of the store's commission and of buyer tax, which gross dashboards leave in.

Then what

• Add the rest of your ad accounts and apps so the P&L is complete.
• Invite your team and set who sees what.
• Turn on the daily roundup so the numbers come to you.
