    I'm using Unity Analytics to track my users and engagement and some of the custom events. I want to provide extra information on the Acquisition Channel so I can group those users (or filter) by a specific channel for further analysis.

    How can I do that?

    Hey @masta-yoda, to track the acquisition channel, you will need to send the acquisitionSource event. Fortunately, the event manager already contains the standard event schema, so there's no need for you to create it from scratch. You can refer to the documentation for further guidance. Once the acquisitionSource event is being sent correctly, the acquisition channel dropdown will be populated with the relevant data.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for confirming, glad that this is possible. I've seen this doc earlier, but it's unclear from it how to send the `acquisitionSource` event. The doc says something about `Adjust` integration (not clear what is that) and AppsFlyer (I'm not using that service either).

    Do you have a sample on how to send the `acquisitionSource` event?

    For those who were looking for an answer, I was using the wrong API:

    UnityEngine.Analytics.Analytics.SendEvent

    Instead, use the new API:

    AnalyticsService.Instance.AcquisitionSource(new AcquisitionSourceParameters
    {
    });
