Note: Only one Reddit destination can be created per website because Reddit does not allow multiple pixels for a single site. Ensure you select the correct pixel during setup.

โœ… Once authenticated, you will be redirected back to CustomerLabs with a confirmation message.

Step 3. Understanding the Account Structure

LevelDescription
Business AccountRepresents your main organization account in Reddit.
Ad AccountEach Business Account can manage multiple Ad Accounts for campaigns.
PixelEach Ad Account has its own Pixel used to track events and conversions.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Each Pixel is unique to an Ad Account. Choose the correct Pixel for your campaign tracking to avoid attribution mismatches.

Step 4. Generate and Connect the Conversion API Token

The Conversion API Token allows CustomerLabs to send event data directly to Redditโ€™s Conversion API.

  1. Log in to your Reddit Ads Manager.
  2. From the left panel, go to Reddit Events Manager.

โš ๏ธ Important:
Ensure the correct token is used. Expired or invalid tokens can stop event syncing between Reddit and CustomerLabs.

Step 5. Map Event Fields (Advanced Settings)

Field mapping ensures that CustomerLabs sends the correct data parameters expected by Reddit.

  1. In the Advanced Settings section, verify the field mappings.
  2. Match your CustomerLabs event fields with Redditโ€™s event parameters.

๐Ÿ’ก Example:
If you have โ€œEmailโ€ in CustomerLabs but โ€œEmail IDโ€ in Reddit, map them manually to avoid event mismatches.

โš ๏ธ Important:
Incorrect mappings can cause conversion errors or missing data in Reddit Ads Manager.

Step 6. Enable Enhanced Conversion Tracking

Enable Enhanced Conversion Tracking to improve event match rates and optimize performance.

  1. Toggle Enhanced Conversion Tracking to ON in CustomerLabs.
  2. This allows CustomerLabs to send hashed user data (email, phone, etc.) for better event matching.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Enhanced conversions help Reddit identify users who interacted with your ads but didnโ€™t convert immediately.

Step 7. Configure Limited Data Use (LDU)

If your business operates in U.S. states where Limited Data Use (LDU) regulations apply:

  1. Enable the LDU toggle in CustomerLabs.
  2. This ensures your data sharing complies with Redditโ€™s and state privacy regulations.

โš ๏ธ Important:
LDU compliance is mandatory in certain U.S. jurisdictions. Enabling this ensures that user data is processed with restricted usage where required.

Section 2: Sync Audiences

You can create first-party audience segments in CustomerLabs and sync these audiences with Reddit in just a few clicks.

Once synced, these audiences can be used for personalized retargeting ads on Reddit.

Step 2. Send a Test Event

Navigate to Events Manager in Reddit Ads.

  1. Look for incoming events under your connected Pixel.
  2. Trigger a test event from CustomerLabs (e.g., Purchase or AddToCart).
  3. Confirm if it appears in Redditโ€™s event logs.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:
Event delivery may take a few minutes to appear in Redditโ€™s Events Manager.

Step 3. Monitor and Debug

If events do not appear in Reddit:

  1. Check field mappings under Advanced Settings.
  2. Ensure the Conversion API Token is valid.
  3. Reauthenticate the Reddit connection if required.
