Integrate Snapchat Audience Sync
Note
The terms audiences and segments are interchangeable. Optimizely has updated all segments to audiences on the Audiences page and is updating the UI on other pages. See Understand audiences to get information on audiences.
The Snapchat Audience Sync integration allows you to sync customer data from Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) to your Snapchat ad account for more precise campaign targeting.
