General
The Snapchat integration lets you connect your Snapchat advertising account with your Flight Control account. Once connected, you can:
- Sync Snapchat campaigns and ad sets with a Flight Control campaign.
- Publish ads on Snapchat that users can see in "Stories" and "Spotlight" placements.
- Enable in-flight on/off ad toggling during ad serving based on your campaign logic.
- Collect insights and analytics, which are then utilized in dashboards, metrics, and campaign insights.
Note: Flight Control doesn't support conversion tracking in Snapchat, as the monitoring is at the ad-set level rather than the ad level. Additionally, a Snapchat ad set can contain a maximum of 50 ads.
