Prerequisites
Analytics data must be exported from Firebase to BigQuery (Firebase setup, BiqQuery setup)
If Admob Mediation is being used,
Step 1: Enable impression-level ad revenue: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/11322405#getstarted
Step 2: Ping impression-level ad revenue to Firebase. Sample code can be found here.
*Firebase’s auto tracking this revenue into event ad_impression. However, this event is not exported to BigQuery so ad impression revenue needs to be tracked in a separate event.
Special cases
For Admob Mediation: Use connector Mediation Service > Firebase Ad Revenue.
For Adjust (MMP): After adding Adjust connector, you will have the S3 Bucket Name, AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and CSV Definition.
Use the above info to configure Adjust following
In Select Events for Export: Select "Install"
