Turning on Tealium Collect in Mobile Publishing, which UDH profile will it go to ?

[dsavvy83]

Noticed we can turn on tealium collect natively, BUT we are currently sending all our collect data to one profile from various sources, if i was to turn it on here, where would it go and can we configure which profile the data goes too?

Hello,

It depends on which SDK you're utilizing. Below is a breakdown of which CDH profile receives the mobile data:

SDK	Profile
Native IOS	Profile initialized in the app
Native Android	Main
Cordova	Defined by collectDispatchProfile
Collect tag (webview, not Tealium Collect)	Profile defined by the Collect tag. By default, the Collect tag sends data to the same TiQ profile’s name the tag is added to.

And as a brief overview, the Tealium SDK provides two ways to send mobile event data to CDH. There is a module that you can enable (Collect Module) that will send data directly to the CDH -- this method won't use anything in Tealium IQ, so if you need to run any extensions on the data then this would not be the appropriate solution.

Alternatively, the Tag Management module is where you can add the Collect tag like normal and can use extensions too. You can use the same Tealium IQ profile as your website if you want; however, we normally advise you to keep a separate IQ profile(s) for mobile apps to keep it easier to manage.
