Loader Snapchat Audience

Snapchat, the popular social media platform known for its ephemeral content, offers a unique advertising opportunity for businesses to reach a highly engaged, mobile-first audience. Snapchat Audience provides a deeper understanding of the platform's user base, allowing businesses to segment and target specific groups with tailored content. By analyzing Snapchat Audience data, brands can refine their marketing strategies, ensuring that their messages resonate with the right people. This leads to more effective engagement, better personalization, and ultimately, stronger connections with users.

Business value in CDP

Utilizing a Customer Data Platform (CDP) to enhance Snapchat Audience targeting offers substantial benefits for your marketing efforts. By leveraging the CDP to segment and analyze customer data, you can create precise audience profiles based on detailed insights and interactions. Once these segments are defined, you can load them directly into Snapchat Audience.

This integration enables you to target Snapchat users with highly relevant and personalized ads. For instance, you can focus on users who have shown interest in specific products or have high engagement levels with your brand. By sending these well-segmented profiles to Snapchat Audience, you ensure that your advertising efforts are directed at those most likely to respond positively.

Steps for setting up Snapchat Audience Loader

Follow this step-by-step guide to configure the component:

1. The first step is to set up the loader within Meiro Integration by following the instructions given in this article.

2. Set up the loader as a destination in CDP. Read here.

Setting up the loader in MI

For setting Snapchat Audience as a destination within Meiro Integration, use the Snapchat Audience loader component. This component creates a new audience or updates users to an existing audience in Snapchat. 

Component process

• The component first reads the configurations for the access token, ad account ID, and enabled methods.

• For the selected method, it sends a request to the Snapchat API. 

• The component then loads the imports.csv input file, which contains information about the users to be included in the audience. 

Requirements

Before proceeding with the setup, ensure that you have the OAuth2 access token and Ad Account ID readily available. These credentials are essential and must be entered in the configuration settings to authenticate and authorize requests sent via the Snapchat API. In case you don't have them yet, follow the instructions below:

• To set up credentials for OAuth, go to /administration/oauth-repositories and select Snapchat OAuth Repository

  

• To create a new ad account on Snapchat, visit https://business.snapchat.com -> Ad accounts -> New ad account

  

• To create an OAuth app ( with the client ID and Client secret needed for repository config in MI ) go to: business.snapchat.com -> Business details -> then click on '+OAuth appIn Snap redirect URI' and use: <host_name_of_instance>/api/oauth_callback. For example:

• After this, obtain the Snap client secret key and Snap client ID to use it for the Snapchat OAuth repo in MI.
