Branch to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How do I connect Branch to Looker Studio?

Create a Branch connection in Catchr using the Branch Key and Branch Secret for the app you want to report on. Select the available app connection, then open the Catchr connector in Looker Studio to create your data source. Start with Date and Install or Open counts for a short period, and compare them with the same app and event definition in Branch.

Which Branch events can I report on?

Catchr exposes counts for installs, reinstalls, opens, clicks, impressions, commerce events, content events, lifecycle events and custom events, among others. Available dimensions include event name, app version, operating system, country and last-attributed-touch information. These are aggregate reporting fields, not a raw user-level event export. Choose the event family that matches your measurement question.

Are Branch event counts the same as unique users?

No. The current Catchr connector reads total event counts from Branch analytics. A user can generate several opens or other events, so the total should not be labelled unique users. Compare against the same count type in Branch. If your dashboard requires deduplicated people, use an appropriate unique-user calculation from a source that supplies it rather than renaming an event count.

Can I break down installs and events by advertising campaign?

Yes, where Branch supplies the attribution details. The catalog includes last-attributed-touch campaign, advertising partner, ad set, ad and channel fields. Start with a campaign or partner breakdown and add detail gradually. Some partners do not support every reporting dimension, so a blank field is not automatically evidence that the connector lost the event.

Why are my Branch install counts different from Meta or Google Ads?

Check the app, dates, time zones, attribution windows and count definitions first. Branch and self-attributing ad networks can credit different interactions, and privacy restrictions can limit the information available for matching. A difference in install counts also affects cost per install. Follow Branch’s discrepancy guidance when comparing reports, rather than assuming every gap is an extraction error.

Does Commerce Event measure purchases or revenue?

Commerce Event is an event count in this connector. It can cover different commerce actions, so use Name to isolate the event you intend to measure, such as PURCHASE when that is how your app tracks purchases. The current extraction does not request the Branch revenue aggregation. Do not label the commerce-event count as revenue or use it as the numerator of ROAS.

Can I compare Branch attribution with advertising spend?

Yes. Add a source such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads to the same report. Use consistent campaign identifiers, dates and currencies, and aggregate each source to the same level before blending. Keep Branch-attributed events distinct from the ad platform’s own conversions; adding both together can count the same outcome twice.
