# Snapchat Ads connector for Amazon AppFlow Snapchat Ads You can use the Snapchat Ads connector in Amazon AppFlow to transfer data about the ads that you run on Snapchat. After you connect Amazon AppFlow to your ad account with Snapchat business, you can transfer data about your ads, campaigns, customer segments, and more. You can transfer this data to certain AWS services or other supported applications. ## Amazon AppFlow support for Snapchat Ads Amazon AppFlow supports Snapchat Ads as follows. **Supported as a data source?** Yes. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Snapchat Ads. **Supported as a data destination?** No. You can't use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data to Snapchat Ads. ## Before you begin To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Snapchat Ads to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements: + You have a Snapchat business account, and you've used it to create an ad account. The ad account contains the data that you want to transfer with Amazon AppFlow. For more information about ad accounts, see [Create an Ad Account](https://businesshelp.snapchat.com/s/article/create-ad-account?language=en_US) in the Snapchat Business Help Center. + In your Snapchat account, you've created an OAuth app for Amazon AppFlow. The app provides the credentials that Amazon AppFlow uses to access your data securely when it makes authenticated calls to your account. For the steps to create an app, see [Activate Access to the Snapchat Marketing API](https://businesshelp.snapchat.com/s/article/api-apply?language=en_US) in the Snapchat Business Help Center. + You've configured the OAuth app with one or more redirect URLs for Amazon AppFlow. Redirect URLs have the following format: ``` https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth ``` In this URL, *region* is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Snapchat Ads. For example, the code for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is `us-east-1`. For that Region, the URL is the following: ``` https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth ``` For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, and their codes, see [Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/appflow.html) in the *AWS General Reference.* From the OAuth app settings, note the values for Snap client ID and Snap client secret key. You provide these values to Amazon AppFlow when you connect to your Snapchat account. ## Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your Snapchat Ads account Connecting to Snapchat Ads To connect Amazon AppFlow to Snapchat Ads, provide the credentials from the OAuth app in your Snapchat account so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured your Snapchat account for Amazon AppFlow integration, see [Before you begin](#snapchat-ads-prereqs). **To connect to Snapchat Ads** 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/). 1. In the navigation pane on the left, choose **Connections**. 1. On the **Manage connections** page, for **Connectors**, choose **Snapchat Ads**. 1. Choose **Create connection**. 1. In the **Connect to Snapchat Ads** window, enter the following information: + **Client ID** — The Snap client ID from your OAuth app. + **Client secret** — The Snap client secret key from your OAuth app. 1. Optionally, under **Data encryption**, choose **Customize encryption settings (advanced)** if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead. Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see [Data protection in Amazon AppFlow](data-protection.md). If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under **Choose an AWS KMS key**. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key. 1. For **Connection name**, enter a name for your connection. 1. Choose **Connect**. 1. In the window that appears, sign in to your Snapchat account, and grant access to Amazon AppFlow. On the **Manage connections** page, your new connection appears in the **Connections** table. When you create a flow that uses Snapchat Ads as the data source, you can select this connection. ## Transferring data from Snapchat Ads with a flow Transferring data from Snapchat Ads To transfer data from Snapchat Ads, create an Amazon AppFlow flow, and choose Snapchat Ads as the data source.
