Why can’t I see my SnapChat Ads preview, it just says “No Preview Available”?
Check to see what kind of snap it is. Currently, only “Image” type snaps can be shown as preview thumbnails. “Videos” will have a URL link to the full video. All other types will not show an image preview.
How come my “Click to View” links aren’t doing anything?
This depends on the type of content in the URL string. Some pieces of content can be downloaded and others cannot.
Can I get my SnapChat Ads data according to my attribution window?
Yes! TapClicks supports the ability to configure your attribution window needs for a given SnapChat Ads connection. To take advantage of this, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or customercare@tapclicks.com and indicate which SnapChat Ads connection you want to update and what attribution settings you would like and the team will take it from there.
Where are my SnapChat Ads custom events?
You can find SnapChat Ads custom events under the Conversions Extended data view.
