The Snap Inc destination supports the activation of identities described in the table below. Learn more about identities.
All identifiers sent to the Snap Inc destination must be hashed in SHA-256 format. To hash plain text identifiers before sending them to the destination, check the Apply transformation option when mapping target identifiers for the destination.
Unhashed identifiers will not be accepted by the Snap Inc destination and sending them could cause errors.
The Snap Inc destination does not support multiple identities. Please select only one identity.
Target Identity | Description | Considerations |
---|---|---|
Email Address | SHA-256 hashed email address | Map email addresses into the target identity field emailAddress. |
Phone Number | SHA-256 hashed phone number | Map email addresses into the target identity field phoneNumber. |
GAID | SHA-256 hashed Google Advertising ID | Map Google Advertising IDs into the target identity field gaid. |
IDFA | SHA-256 hashed Apple Advertising ID | Map Apple Advertising IDs into the target identity field idfa. |
Refer to the table below for information about the destination export type and frequency.
Item | Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
Export type | Segment export | You are exporting all members of a segment (audience) with the identifiers (name, phone number, or others) used in the YOURDESTINATION destination. |
Export frequency | Streaming | Streaming destinations are “always on” API-based connections. As soon as a profile is updated in Experience Platform based on segment evaluation, the connector sends the update downstream to the destination platform. Read more about streaming destinations. |

After activating segments to the Snap Inc destination, you will be able to see the segments in the Snap Ads Manager’s Audiences section. To navigate to this section, follow these steps:
Please note that when an Adobe segment is first activated to Snap Inc, you will initially see it as an empty audience. This is because Adobe Experience Platform does not export member data to Snap Inc until it evaluates the segment. For more information about how segments are evaluated in Experience Platform, please refer to the Segmentation Service overview.
All Adobe Experience Platform destinations are compliant with data usage policies when handling your data. For detailed information on how Adobe Experience Platform enforces data governance, see the Data Governance overview.
