Snapchat

Snapchat is a visual messaging and content platform that many brands use to reach and convert high-intent audiences.

Snapchat needs conversion data to optimize delivery - but browser-based tracking doesn’t capture everything anymore. Cookies expire, consent drops, users switch devices, and purchases happen later or outside the website, resulting in Ads Manager numbers not matching Google Analytics, Shopify/Stripe, or your back-office reporting. Able CDP closes the gap by connecting ad clicks to real conversion sources and sending stronger conversion events to Snapchat.

High-Performing Snapchat Ads Campaigns With First-Party Data

Combine first-party tracking with Snapchat Conversions API integration

Report on currently missing conversions that happen after browser analytics and tracking cookies expire or across different devices. Able offers built-in tracking to capture Snapchat Click ID (ScCid) and browser identifiers, associate them with customer details, and store them in its customer data platform. Able Customer Data Platform then attributes conversions to these customer sources and sends conversions with complete match parameters to Snapchat using Snap Conversions API (CAPI).

Understand What Drives Sales

Map customer journey to each purchase

Able Customer Data Platform captures complete journey of each customer, allowing to understand how your customers buy and how segments perform across campaigns even on low volume experimental conversion data while you're still perfecting your pipeline. In addition to providing a built-in user interface to research individual customers' journeys, Able integrates with analytics platforms that don't have a 7-day conversion window limitation such as Google Analytics, allowing to understand and report performance of the campaigns.

How does it work?

Build an entire journey of each customer from the first ad click

Able captures Snapchat click IDs at the moment of the ad click and ties them to on-site activity as the customer browses, signs up, and returns. This creates a single journey timeline you can analyze by campaign, audience, and creative.

Attribute 99% of your sales, regardless of when they happen

When a conversion happens later - or outside the website - Able links it back to the original Snapchat click using your customer journey and identity data. You get consistent, decision-ready attribution instead of “mystery revenue” and undercounted reports.

Connect Snapchat with other software without coding

Skip complex manual set-up of the connection between Snapchat and other software in your funnel. Connect the tools where conversions actually occur (payments, e-commerce, CRM) and let Able handle the mapping and delivery to Snapchat automatically. No brittle manual setup, and no dependence on a perfect browser session to record the conversion

How conversions can be tracked without third-party cookies

With the ever-changing landscape of online tracking, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments. In this article, we explore how third-party cookies, first-party cookies, and other tracking techniques are used to track and attribute conversions and how browsers are responding to these techniques. We also look at how these techniques are affecting the way advertisers and social media networks are able to reach their audiences.

Everything you need to know about conversion APIs

In the recent years ad platforms such as Facebook Ads (Meta) and Google Ads began to introduce and promote use of the conversion APIs, allowing advertisers to send more details about their conversions. This article describes how conversion APIs work, why their use is essential and how different implementations can affect their performance. It describes common pitfalls why conversion APIs may not have delivered the desired result and documents approaches to fixing this.Facebook's study has shown that correct use of Conversions API results in increase of CPA by 13% and lead to sale conversion rate by 20% on average; the average is misleading as the figure is funnel dependent. Some funnels may already track all conversions correctly without Conversions API. Others may gain up to a 7x RoAS (return on ad spend) increase and doubling number of tracked conversions in other funnels in our experience.

Don't just take our word for it

Software companies, e-commerce stores and various types of digital businesses around the world are using Able CDP to fundamentally improve their marketing strategy.

We have been looking for a tool that could help gain better insights into our marketing efforts. We tried many, but none of them worked until we found Able. The reason Able CDP works for us, is that it is simple and does not try to reinvent the wheel but rather builds on existing tools and software out there. It helps us link our 'offline' sales to our marketing efforts and have it show up in Google Analytics. It then further helps us to optimize the digital marketing efforts by sending the real conversions (sales) to the marketing platforms. We seem to have finally closed the circle of our efforts and it will help us understand better and better what works, what doesn't and how to fix it or reallocate budgets.

A valuable insight we've got because of using Able Customer Data Platform is that display ads aren't working for us at all... we've been wasting money for years on paid display ads. Before Able we'd be excited about every lead or email that came through, but after the last year we've determined that those don't convert at all. And so we've been focusing on paid search, which does have return on investment.
