Managing mobile app uninstall tracking

Oracle Responsys detects mobile app uninstalls when you launch Push campaigns. But with mobile app uninstall tracking enabled for your mobile apps, Responsys will track mobile app uninstalls independently of sending Push campaigns. Having more information about app uninstalls can help you understand the root cause of mobile app uninstalls and fix issues. You can also gain insights that will help you plan how to retain your app users in the future.
Mobile app uninstalls detected by this process are logged in the new app uninstall tracking columns in the app channel list, as follows:
-
CHANNEL_DELIVERABILITY_REASON is logged as APP_UNINSTALL_CHECK_FEEDBACK.
-
UNINSTALLED_AT_DATE stores the timestamp (date and time) that the app uninstall was detected by Responsys.
