Selecting Options - In Snapcat Ads, you can analyze stats in two ways, with the Attribution Window and the Report Time.
Conversion Window is when a Snapchatter Swipes Up on an ad or performs a similar action, they enter a 28 day attribution window, in which actions made by that Snapchatter on your website or App may be attributed to the ad on which they swiped up.
Report Time determines the report time of action stats. For example, if a person saw the ad on Jan 1st but converted on Jan 2nd, when you query the API with action_report_time=impression, you see a conversion on Jan 1st. When you query the API with action_report_time=conversion, you see a conversion on Jan 2nd. The default value is impression.
-
Select Dates - Returning statistics for a certain time period depend upon the platform you are using. However, for each platform it means the date in which the action on the ad was performed.
In Looker Studio, the default is 28 Days, but if you use our template the default date is a Year to Date.
