Snapchat Conversions API

Snapchat is a multimedia instant messaging app and service. This destination leverages the Snapchat Conversions API to push web and app events to Snapchat.

Key features

The Snapchat destination provides the following key features:

• Events structure: our Events reference fits Snapchat event types, meaning that your data is properly bridged to the expected fields in an optimized way.

• Prebuilt mappings: data mapping for event-based destinations happens automatically, which simplifies user inputs.

• Smart mapping: data mapping can be readjusted using your datalayer defined fields.

• Custom events: you can freely push custom events based on your specific needs.

• Support for multi-item data: information included in the item array is dispatched to Snapchat.

Destination setup

Before you get started with this destination, make sure you can access the Snapchat Ads Manager.

Configuration

Settings	Description
Credentials	Required if API Token is not set Your credentials with Snapchat as set in the Commanders Act interface following: Administration ➜ Connector Credentials ➜ Add connector credentials ➜ Snapchat
API Token	Required if Credentials is not set Input your "API Token", also known as "Static long lived token", as generated in Snapchat Business Manager → "Business Details" by following this LINK. This field has priority over Credentials.

Snap App Id (APP)	Required for MOBILE APP events. Your Snap App Id as provided by Snapchat for "Mobile App" type events. For more details, you can check the following LINK.
Custom Event Mapping	Snapchat allows up to five (5) custom events to be tracked. In Commanders Act Event Name input an event name, while in Snapchat Event Name set a name as follows: CUSTOM_EVENT_X , where X is a number between 1 and 5 , both included (E.g. CUSTOM_EVENT_1 ).
Custom Event Properties	Map your custom event properties by setting their field names in Event property name and adding the field name holding the value in Commanders Act event property . E.g. if you input size in the Event property name and items.0.product.size [1] in Commanders Act event property , you will have a custom event property in Snapchat called size with a value based on the content of the field items.0.product.size .

[1] Using "dots" (".") you can navigate deeper to the specific field you want to get the value of. See Events reference for more details on the standard field names by event. You can also freely set custom fields: there are no boundaries.
