How it flows
How a Skio event reaches Snapchat. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.
01 Capture
Captured from Skio
Capture Skio subscription events server-side, with the first charge distinguished from every renewal that follows it.

02 Understand
Resolved to one person before it leaves
Every Skio event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

The catch
A first charge is an acquisition and a renewal is not, but both arrive as purchases.
Sending renewals as conversions is the single most common way a subscription brand teaches Meta to re-buy its existing subscribers.

What changes
What changes when Skio feeds Snapchat. Two gains on the Snapchat side, two on the Skio side.
Snapchat
Server-side delivery
By default Upstack sends events to Snapchat from its servers as well as through the Snapchat tag, so an event an ad blocker or browser privacy setting stops in the browser still arrives from the server.
Snapchat
Identity-resolved events
Events sent to Snapchat carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.
Skio
Every event, server-side
Storefront and checkout events are captured from Skio on the server, independent of the browser.

FAQ
Questions about Skio and Snapchat.
Do I still need the Snap browser pixel?
Server-side delivery works on its own, but running both gives Snap the strongest signal. As long as the Snap Pixel ID matches between your browser pixel and the Upstack destination, Snapchat’s deduplication prevents double counting.
What permissions does the Conversions API token need?
The token must have permission to send events on behalf of your ad account. Generate it with the minimum scope needed for sending conversion events: Upstack does not need management or spending permissions.
Which customer parameters are sent to Snapchat?
Events carry hashed email and phone plus the Snap click ID (ScCid, or lowercase sccid, from the ad URL) when available.
How do I check that Skio events are reaching Snapchat?
Upstack marks the destination Healthy, and Events Manager in Snapchat Ads Manager shows events from your Conversions API integration. Match quality and conversion attribution build over the following 24 to 48 hours.
How long does it take to connect Skio to Snapchat?
Most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Once Skio is connected, every destination receives the same resolved events, Snapchat included.
