General Availability: Conversion API for iOS & Android + Serverless TikTok

May 19, 2022

Blotout is now generally available as a Conversion API (C-API) for iOS, Android, and TikTok.

Building on its success as a Google Tag Manager replacement at the network edge, EdgeTag enables:

  • Fast event delivery
  • Zoned compliance
  • Consented data handling
  • Reliable operation in the cookieless world

Now, app developers and marketers can send conversion events directly from mobile apps—improving Meta ROI and unlocking CAC/CPC savings.

Sharing Meta C-API Success

When EdgeTag launched its serverless Meta C-API, results exceeded expectations:

  • Outperformed Shopify & commerce platform implementations by 35%+
  • For brands without C-API, doubled event signals and reduced CAC/CPC by 60%
  • Achieved 100% customer retention among Meta C-API adopters

Why Use Blotout for Mobile App Installs & Conversions?

Early client results show:

  • 100% conversion events reaching Meta (vs. 30–40% with typical MMPs)
  • 10–15% CAC reduction on Meta for iOS installs
  • Ability to remove Meta SDK from apps, reducing privacy risks

This means more reliable performance metrics, improved event match quality, and reduced customer acquisition costs.

Launching Zero-Code TikTok C-API

Blotout now offers a serverless TikTok Conversion API.

For existing Meta clients, it’s a zero-code upgrade:
