Short answer
An in-app event, or post-install event, is a user action tracked inside an app after install, such as registration, purchase, or level completion. Events are recorded through an SDK and sent to measurement and ad platforms. Marketers use them to measure campaign quality and to optimize bidding toward valuable users rather than installs alone.
