MNTN API Update
MNTN has recently upgraded to API 3.0, offering up to 10 times faster data retrieval compared to previous versions and ensuring quicker access to your reports.
The default attribution model has shifted to First-Touch Reporting. This model attributes conversions to the first interaction a user has with your ad, providing a holistic view of how your TV commercials influence customer journeys. While First-Touch is now the default, you still have access to Last-Touch metrics, allowing for flexible analysis based on your needs.
Be sure to update your MNTN account dashboard to ensure consistency with Triple Whale's reporting.
