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.

  • Automatic hashing: information is automatically hashed matching partner specifications.

  • 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.

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.

Field Mappings

[3] If you are reporting events using multiple methods (E.g. Snap Pixel and Conversions API) you should use the same client_dedup_id across all of them. This will be used within a 48 hour scope of the first occurrence. [4] Each item information is pushed in the related array. [5] Field automatically hashed if provided in clear text. [6] Field automatically hashed and normalized. [7] partners.snapchat.uuid_c1 has priority over cookie _scid.
