Integration Summary

For more information, see Singular's iOS 14 and SKAdNetwork articles.

Introduction

Apple's SKAdNetwork framework allows ad networks (and advertisers) to receive some data about app installs attributed to their campaign without compromising the end-user's privacy. All the data about the app install and post-install events has to be contained in a single number from 0 to 63, called the conversion value.

Singular's SKAdNetwork solution offers several different ways to encode data into the conversion value, depending on whether the advertiser is interested in optimizing for revenue, retention, or other KPIs. Each encoding method is called a conversion model.

Snapchat's SKAdNetwork campaigns are supported through Singular managed these conversion models. By following the steps in this article, you'll be able to configure your Singular conversion model so that it is compatible with Snap SKAdnetwork campaigns and enable SKAdNetwork campaigns in your Snapchat Ads Manager.

Snapchat SKAdNetwork performance data is available in your aggregate SKAdNetwork reports, SKAdnetwork postback exports, and ETL data destinations.

Setup Instructions

1. Implement Singular's SKAdNetwork Solution

If you haven't done so yet, add SKAdNetwork support to your Singular SDK Implementation (see iOS SDK: Adding SKAdNetwork support) or S2S integration (see SKAdNetwork S2S Implementation Guide).

2. Configure a Conversion Model

In the Singular platform, go to Attribution > SKAdNetwork and select Add Conversion Model. Snapchat supports conversion event, revenue, and engagement models that you can configure through Singular. Learn more in the SKAdNetwork Conversion Models Dashboard FAQ.

Note: Snapchat recommends that measurable conversions occur within 24 hours of the install. You can configure this by setting your conversion model measurement period to 1 day.

3. Add a Snap App ID and Map Conversion Model Events to Snapchat Events

Snap requires apps have a Snap App ID for SKAdNetwork enabled campaigns.  You can find more information on how to generate and retrieve your Snap app ID in Snapchat's help center article.  Ensure that the Snap app ID is added to your partner configuration.

Next, ensure that all events used in the conversion model have been added and mapped to a Snapchat event (see Snapchat Partner Configuration). This is a prerequisite for the Singular conversion model to be recognized by Snapchat's optimization engine.

For example, if you have the following events configured in your SKAdNetwork conversion model, make sure they're mapped to a Snap event name in your Snapchat partner configuration.
