Description:
The Snapchat Leads Conversions API is a lead ad performance optimizing option specifically designed to improve results when using lead ads. It allows businesses to send back the updated leads to Snapchat for campaign optimization.
Goal:
Enhanced Lead Tracking: By integrating Meta’s CAPI with their CRM system, lead generation based businesses can track leads more accurately.
