Updated July 2026.

Engage-through attribution is a Meta attribution bucket introduced March 3, 2026. It credits a conversion when someone engaged with (but did not click) an ad — for video, after a 5-second view — within a 1-day window.

What changed on March 3, 2026?

Two things. Click-through attribution now requires an actual link click, and Meta added the new 1-day engage-through bucket, lowering the video engagement threshold from 10 seconds to 5. One-day view-through attribution itself is unchanged.

What is the new default window?
