Syncing conversion events
Prerequisites
- Allowlisted by Reddit: Hightouch uses Reddit's Conversions API, which is in beta. To send conversion events, your Reddit Ads account needs to by white listed by Reddit. Reach out to your Reddit account team to request access for your account to use the Conversions API.
- Events within 7 days: If you are planning to set the event timestamp yourself, the event must occur within the last 7 days otherwise the conversion event will not go through.

Syncing custom audiences
Hightouch will sync data to Reddit ads as a Custom Audience with the CUSTOMER_LIST type.
You can choose to create a new Custom Audience through Hightouch, or sync to an existing audience.
Sync setup
Mappings
Reddit accepts the following user fields: EMAIL_SHA256 and MAID_SHA256. At least one identifier is required to successfully sync to Reddit ads.
Handling PII and hashing
The Reddit Custom Audiences API will only accept hashed values. For audience syncs, by default, Hightouch automatically hashes first-party user data fields before sending requests to Reddit.
If the data in your model is already hashed, you can disable PII hashing to successfully send data to Reddit.
Delete behavior
When records leave your query result, they are removed from your audience by default. If you would not like to delete any records from your audience, you can choose to do nothing when records leave your query result.
