AppsFlyer Enables In-App Measurement for ChatGPT Ads
AppsFlyer has integrated with ChatGPT Ads (OpenAI) to enable in-app measurement for advertisers, giving visibility into installs, in-app purchases and subscriptions directly within the AppsFlyer platform. More than 40 brands across ecommerce, food delivery and ride-sharing — including GrubHub — have been testing the integration for the past four weeks. GrubHub has participated in the ChatGPT ads pilot since February but previously lacked full visibility on conversions and attribution, according to Brian Ryu, VP of growth, paid media. The companies shared the integration news with Adweek, positioning it as a way to bring Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP)-style attribution and analytics to ChatGPT ad campaigns.
Brings a Mobile Measurement Partner (AppsFlyer) integration to a new conversational ad channel (ChatGPT Ads), enabling advertisers to measure installs, in-app purchases and subscriptions — improving attribution and optimization for a growing ad format from a major platform (OpenAI).

AppsFlyer Adds AI Referral and ChatGPT Ads Attribution
AppsFlyer has expanded its attribution capabilities to include AI-driven discovery, now supporting organic referrals from eight AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Manus) alongside 13 traditional search engines. This extension allows advertisers to attribute app opens and new installs to prior research in AI assistants, with sources labeled 'chatgpt_organic_aeo'. However, prompt or keyword data and brand mentions within AI answers are not captured. Building on its August integration of ChatGPT Ads via OpenAI's Conversions API, AppsFlyer now enables comparison of organic and paid AI traffic in the same environment. The new organic AEO attribution is included in existing packages without additional fees or conversion limits. Reporting separates SEO and AEO performance, and the move aligns with AppsFlyer's strategy to expand beyond mobile into web and AI channel measurement.
CallRail Makes ChatGPT Ads Measurable
CallRail announced a new integration that attributes ChatGPT ad-driven leads for SMBs and marketing agencies, positioning itself as the first SMB/agency-focused provider to offer ChatGPT ad attribution. The integration attributes calls, text messages, and form submissions to specific ChatGPT campaigns and ad groups, allows conversion data to be sent to OpenAI to improve targeting and bidding, and shows ChatGPT ad performance alongside Google, Meta and Microsoft campaigns within CallRail reporting. The capability builds on CallRail’s prior measurement extensions to AI-powered organic discovery (including ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini). The integration is available at no additional cost to eligible CallRail customers and is activated via a self-serve setup using an API key and conversion pixel ID.
OpenAI Partners with LiveRamp to Measure ChatGPT Ad Conversions
OpenAI has partnered with data-matching firm LiveRamp to allow selected advertisers to send conversion (transaction) data into OpenAI’s conversion API for ChatGPT ads. The U.S.-only integration (with Europe to follow) will initially be available to mutual clients of OpenAI and LiveRamp and focuses on transaction data (product, price, date) rather than clicks; LiveRamp hashes emails (with RampID support planned) and forwards matched data to OpenAI while attribution methodology remains OpenAI’s responsibility. LiveRamp expects its first advertiser to go live the week of publication. The tie-up comes as OpenAI rapidly builds measurement and accountability into its nascent ads business and is positioned as a step toward performance attribution parity with established self-serve ad platforms. The deal’s timing and LiveRamp’s pending Publicis acquisition raise questions about vendor neutrality as the partnership scales.
