(Beta) Snap Inc
Overview
Snapchat Ads are made for every business, no matter the size or industry. Become a part of Snapchatters’ everyday conversations with full-screen, digital ads that inspire action from the people that matter most to your business.
This documentation page was created by the Snap Inc team. This is currently a beta product and functionality is subject to change. For any inquiries or update requests, please contact them directly at dev-support@snap.com
Use cases
This destination allows marketers to import user segments created in Experience Platform into Snapchat Ads and use them to target their ads.
Prerequisites
To use this destination, you must have a Snapchat Ads account. Please refer to this documentation for information about how to create one:
Get Started with Snapchat Advertising
Limitations
- Snap Inc does not support multiple identities for a given audience segment. Please map only one identity when activating a segment.
- Snap Inc does not support renaming segments. To rename a segment, you must deactivate, rename it, and then activate it.
- It is not possible to define a retention period for an audience segment’s members. All members have lifetime retention and will be in the segment until they are removed.
Supported identities
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. |
Export type and frequency
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. |

Read Activate profiles and segments to streaming segment export destinations for instructions on activating audience segments to this destination.
Validate data export
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:
- Log into the Snap Ads Manager
- Select Audiences from the pulldown menu in the upper left corner of the screen. You will see the segments that you activated in Adobe Experience Platform in the Audience Library:
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.
