# Snapchat

## Overview

Snapchat is a popular messaging application that lets users exchange pictures and videos (called snaps) that are meant to disappear after they're viewed. Integrated with Zeotap it allows marketers to reach a younger demographic and create engaging and interactive campaigns.

## Supported Identifiers

This channel supports email-SHA256, Mobile-SHA256 and MAIDs.

## Available Actions and Supported Features

The following table lists the available action types for the integration and the supported features for each action type:

</Steps>

## Link an Audience to the Snapchat Destination

For information about how to link an Audience or segment to the created Destination in **Audiences** and **Target** applications, refer [here](/articles/integrate-customer/link-an-audience-to-the-destination). Note that it can take up to 24 hours for the segment to be available at the Snapchat seat.

<Note>
  **Note:**

  The terms *Audiences* and *Segments* are used interchangeably to refer to customer cohorts belonging to a specific category. For example, an Audience or a segment can be a specific group of customers who are over 18 years of age and have performed an `addToCart` event within the last 30 days.
</Note>

## View Audiences on Snapchat

In the Snapchat Business Manager console, you can find the pushed segments under **Assets** → **Audiences**.

## Whitelisting for Snapchat

The whitelisting process for Snapchat involves the following two steps:

1. The client sends an Invite to Zeotap to join their membership.
2. The client provides access to Zeotap for specific Ad Accounts.

#### Send an Invite

Before pushing segments for the first time to the Ad account ID, the client has to provide access to Zeotap for the specific Ad accounts where segments have to be pushed. To do so, first, the client has to send an invite to Zeotap to join their membership as below.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log into Snapchat [Ads Manager](https://ads.snapchat.com/ "https://ads.snapchat.com/") as Admin.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Under Business Settings, select **Members**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Invite Member**.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/zeotap/puXmsvA7x0OblYvo/articles/integrate-customer/Storage/integrate-customer/project-destination-internal/Imported/snapchat-published-improvisation-img0004.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=puXmsvA7x0OblYvo&q=85&s=ee4fce13bd425c4dddaa9eb64959ab73" width="2660" height="1290" data-path="articles/integrate-customer/Storage/integrate-customer/project-destination-internal/Imported/snapchat-published-improvisation-img0004.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the member details as follows:

    * Name: Zeotap\_User\_Name
    * Email: [channel.admin@zeotap.com](mailto:channel.admin@zeotap.com)
    * Role: Member
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Invite Member**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Note:**

  An email invite is sent to Zeotap for confirmation. It contains details about the membership and a link to **Join**.
</Note>

#### Accessing Specific Ad Accounts

Once Zeotap accepts the request to join, the client provides access to Zeotap for the specific Ad accounts where segments have to be pushed. Once Zeotap's Snap Business Manager account is linked to the client's Ad account, the client can create a Destination in the Zeotap CDP App and push the segments.

Perform the following steps to provide Ad Account access to Zeotap:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Login to [Ads Manager](https://ads.snapchat.com/).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Under Business Settings, select **Ad Accounts**.
