How do I connect Snapchat Ads to Perplexity?

In Perplexity open Plugins, choose Add custom, then Connector, then Add MCP connector, select Remote and paste https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp with OAuth 2.0 and Streamable HTTP. Click the PaidSync connector card, sign in to PaidSync and press Approve, then ask Perplexity to connect your Snapchat Ads account. No API key is needed. Full steps are above.

What Snapchat Ads data can Perplexity see through PaidSync?

Your organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads and ads, plus campaign performance: impressions, swipes, spend, video views and purchases, as a total, by day or by hour. Performance is reported per campaign, not per ad squad or ad.

Can Perplexity pause campaigns and change budgets on Snapchat?

Yes, on campaigns that already run. Through PaidSync, Perplexity can pause and enable campaigns, change a campaign's daily budget or lifetime spend cap, and change an ad squad's status, bid, budget and name. Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default.

Does PaidSync create new Snapchat campaigns?

No. PaidSync does not create campaigns, ad squads or ads on Snapchat, and it does not upload creative. Build new campaigns in Snapchat Ads Manager, then manage and report on them from Perplexity.

How much does PaidSync cost for Snapchat Ads?

Free for 15 tasks with no credit card. Pro is from $99 a month for 600 tasks, Team is from $249 a month for 5 seats and 6,000 tasks, and Done For You is custom.

Does the same PaidSync connection work in other assistants?

Yes. PaidSync is one endpoint, https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, with OAuth sign-in, and the same login works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot through Copilot Studio, Cursor and Windsurf. Set up PaidSync once and use it from any of them.

How to connect Snapchat Ads to Perplexity with PaidSync

This is the route through Perplexity's custom connectors. No API key is needed, because Perplexity connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth).

Before you start

Custom connectors are a Perplexity feature you add in step 1, and nothing needs installing. On a Perplexity Enterprise organization, an admin must first allow members to add custom connectors.
Signing in with Google? There is no separate sign-up. You pick Continue with Google in step 2, and your free PaidSync account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve.
Prefer an email and password? Create the account at paidsync.ai/signup beforehand. The sign-up link inside the sign-in window opens the website and does not bring you back to Perplexity.
Know which Snapchat login can open your ad accounts at business.snapchat.com. You use it in step 3.

Add PaidSync to Perplexity as a custom connector

In Perplexity open Plugins in the sidebar (or Customize, then Connectors), choose Add custom, then Connector, then Add MCP connector, and select Remote. Name it PaidSync and paste the server URL:

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Set authentication to OAuth 2.0 and transport to Streamable HTTP. PaidSync supports dynamic client registration, so the Client ID and Client Secret fields stay empty. Tick the acknowledgement, click Add, then click the PaidSync connector card and sign in with your PaidSync login. A custom connector needs a Perplexity plan that includes them, and on an Enterprise organization an admin must allow members to add custom connectors first.

Sign in to PaidSync and press Approve

The PaidSync sign-in screen opens. Pick Continue with Google, or sign in with your PaidSync email and password. A PaidSync screen then asks whether to allow Perplexity to manage your ad accounts via PaidSync. Press Approve and PaidSync is connected.

New to PaidSync and signing in with Google? Your free account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve. The screen also mentions ad accounts already connected inside PaidSync. On a new account that list is empty until you finish step 3.

Connect your Snapchat Ads account and ask Perplexity

In any chat, ask: "Connect my Snapchat Ads." Perplexity replies with a link that opens Snapchat's own sign-in and consent screen. Log in with the Snapchat account that can open your ad accounts at business.snapchat.com, and allow access. PaidSync never sees your Snapchat password.

Come back and ask: "List my Snapchat ad accounts." Perplexity uses list_snapchat_accounts to show every ad account your login can open, across organizations, and set_active_snapchat_account to pick the one you name. Connecting accounts and picking one uses none of your tasks. Then try: "Show me my Snapchat campaigns and their status." You can also connect Snapchat Ads from the PaidSync workspace instead. Both routes use the same PaidSync login, so Perplexity sees the account either way.

What PaidSync can and cannot do on Snapchat Ads

PaidSync has 15 Snapchat Ads tools. They cover sign-in and account picking, reading, and managing campaigns that already run.

What PaidSync can do

Read your accounts. Organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads and ads, across every Snapchat login you connect.
Report on campaigns. Impressions, swipes, spend, video views and purchases for a campaign, as a total, by day or by hour, for the dates you pick.
Pause and enable campaigns. Each one reverses the other.
Change campaign budgets and settings. Daily budget or lifetime spend cap, name, status, start date and end date.
Change ad squads. Status, bid, daily or lifetime budget and name.

What PaidSync cannot do

Create anything new. New campaigns, ad squads and ads are built in Snapchat Ads Manager.
Handle creative. No image or video uploads and no creative edits.
Change targeting. Audiences and targeting stay in Snapchat Ads Manager.
Report below campaign level. Performance comes per campaign, not per ad squad or ad.

Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default, and PaidSync reads each change back from Snapchat after it applies. In the PaidSync workspace, by default, every change is an approval card.

Snapchat Ads prompts to try in Perplexity

Each prompt runs on the PaidSync tools named after it and uses one or more of your tasks. Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default.

"List my Snapchat campaigns with their status and objective." Runs list_snapchat_campaigns, which returns each campaign's ID, name, status and objective.
"Show spend, impressions, swipes and purchases for the Spring Sale campaign over the last 7 days, day by day." Runs list_snapchat_campaigns to find the campaign, then get_snapchat_performance by day.
"Pause the Summer Promo campaign on Snapchat." Runs pause_snapchat_campaign. enable_snapchat_campaign turns it back on.
"Preview raising the daily budget on the Retargeting campaign to 80 in my account currency. Do not apply it yet." Runs update_snapchat_campaign_budget, which previews by default.
"List the ad squads in the Retargeting campaign, then preview pausing Broad 18-24 and lowering the bid on Lookalike 1% to 1.20." Runs list_snapchat_adsquads, then update_snapchat_adsquad, which previews by default.

Why use PaidSync for Snapchat Ads in Perplexity

It changes what already runs. Snap's own Snapchat Ads MCP Server is read-only in its current release, and Snap says write access is planned for a future release (checked 30 Sep 2026). PaidSync's 15 Snapchat tools already pause and enable campaigns and change budgets, bids and settings on existing campaigns and ad squads.

Every change is checked. Update tools preview by default. After a change applies, PaidSync reads the campaign or ad squad back from Snapchat and reports any campaign budget, status, name or ad squad bid that did not land.

One connection, 14 platforms. Snapchat rarely runs alone. The same PaidSync sign-in covers 630+ tools across 14 platforms, including Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, so Perplexity can put Snapchat next to Meta or TikTok in one chat.

Snap's own sign-in. PaidSync connects through Snap's OAuth screen with the Marketing API scope, so it never sees your Snapchat password. PaidSync is a Google Partner, a TikTok API Platform Partner and runs a Meta-approved app.

Other ways to connect Snapchat Ads to Perplexity

Each line below comes from the provider's own page, checked on 30 Sep 2026.

Snap's official MCP server. Snap's Snapchat Ads MCP Server, launched on 3 August 2026, connects Perplexity to Snapchat Ads data and is read-only in its current release (checked 30 Sep 2026).
Zapier. Zapier's Snapchat Conversions app sends conversion events and leads to Snap, and its Snapchat Lead Generation app triggers on new leads (checked 30 Sep 2026).
n8n. n8n's HTTP Request node queries any app or service with a REST API, with a generic OAuth2 credential among its sign-in options (checked 30 Sep 2026).
Build your own. Snap's Marketing API docs say an Organization Admin sets up the OAuth app in Snap's business dashboard and access tokens last 60 minutes, so a self-built server handles token refresh and hosting (checked 30 Sep 2026).

Troubleshooting Snapchat Ads in Perplexity

The sign-in fails. Sign in to PaidSync the way you signed up, with Continue with Google or with your PaidSync email and password. Email users without an account create one at paidsync.ai/signup, then click the PaidSync connector card in Perplexity again. If Snapchat's own consent screen fails, ask Perplexity "Connect my Snapchat Ads" again for a fresh link.
Perplexity picked the wrong ad account. Ask Perplexity to list your Snapchat ad accounts and switch to the one you mean, by name or ID. It runs list_snapchat_accounts, then set_active_snapchat_account, and every Snapchat request after that goes to the account you picked. Switching uses none of your tasks.
An ad account is not listed. PaidSync lists the ad accounts in every organization your Snapchat login can open. Check at business.snapchat.com that your login has access to that ad account, or ask an Organization Admin to add you, then ask Perplexity to list your ad accounts again. Still missing? Email support@paidsync.ai.
Perplexity says it has no Snapchat tool. PaidSync shows Perplexity a short starter list of tools to keep the chat light. Ask Perplexity to call paidsync_context. It returns your connected platforms and the full tool list, Snapchat included, and Perplexity then runs those tools through paidsync_exec. If PaidSync is missing from Perplexity altogether, check that its connector card is enabled under Plugins.
