Who is this for? Marketers running paid acquisition on Reddit Ads who want to feed conversion data back to the platform to improve campaign optimisation.
What You Need
- The Immutable Tracking Pixel or Web SDK installed on your marketing site, so Reddit click IDs are captured. Without a click ID, Reddit requires a hashed email address to match conversions to users (see below).
- The Unity SDK, Web SDK, or REST API sending events from your game
- At least one active Conversion Goal for the game
- A Reddit Ads account with at least one pixel in Reddit Ads Manager
- Admin access to the game in Audience Hub
Connect Reddit Ads
- In Audience Hub, navigate to Settings then Integrations then Reddit Ads.
- In the Conversion Postbacks section, click Connect.
- A Reddit authorization popup opens. Sign in to your Reddit Ads account and grant the requested permissions.
- Once authorized, Hub shows an account and pixel picker. If your Reddit Ads account has multiple pixels, select the one you want to send postbacks for.
- Click Connect. Hub creates the postback configuration and the popup closes.
You can only have one Reddit Ads postback configuration per game. If you need to switch accounts or pixels, disconnect the existing configuration first, then reconnect with the new selection.
Event Mapping
Immutable maps Conversion Goal events to Reddit standard tracking types as follows:| Goal event | Reddit type |
|---|---|
purchase | Purchase |
wishlist_add | AddToWishlist |
wishlist_remove | Custom named wishlist_remove |
email_acquired | SignUp |
purchase conversions, Immutable forwards value and currency when both are present so Reddit can optimise for revenue (ROAS) rather than conversion count alone.
Reddit has no standard tracking type for wishlist_remove. It is forwarded as a Custom event with the name wishlist_remove.
Identifier Requirements
Reddit requires at least one of the following to match a conversion to a user:- Click ID: captured by the Tracking Pixel from a Reddit Ads campaign click
- Hashed email: collected by your game via the Unity SDK, Web SDK, or REST API and forwarded by Immutable (SHA-256 hashed)
Test Events
If you want to route test conversions to Reddit’s test environment rather than live reporting, open the postback config and set a Test ID from Reddit Ads Manager. Test events are only routed this way when the SDK or Pixel sends them withtest: true. Normal production conversions are never affected.
Verify Delivery
Once a real attributed conversion arrives (a player who clicked your Reddit Ads campaign and then matched an active Goal), it appears in the Delivery logs section on the Reddit Ads integration page. You can also check Reddit Ads Manager under Events Manager on your pixel’s activity page. For a description of log columns and status values, see Monitoring Postback Delivery.Reconnecting
If your Reddit authorization expires or is revoked, Hub shows a credential warning on the postback config. Open the config menu and click Reconnect to re-authorize without losing your existing configuration.FAQ
Postbacks aren't showing in the delivery log. What should I check?
Postbacks aren't showing in the delivery log. What should I check?
Check the following:
- Is the postback config enabled?
- Is there at least one active Conversion Goal matching the events you’re sending?
- Is the Tracking Pixel capturing Reddit click IDs on your marketing site?
- Is your game sending the expected events? Without a click ID or hashed email, Reddit postbacks cannot be sent.
I previously configured Reddit Ads with a Conversion Access Token. What happens to that?

Existing token-based configurations keep working and continue forwarding conversions. To move to the OAuth flow, delete the existing configuration and click Connect to set it up again.
