Connect to Amazon Ads

Go to the Destinations overview page and click the Add destination button. Select Amazon Ads and click Continue. You can then authenticate Hightouch to Amazon Ads.

For the Authentication method, select Log in to Amazon Ads and log into your Amazon Ads account. Once successful, you will be redirected back to Hightouch to enter an advertiser ID and a descriptive name for your destination to complete setup.

Sync configuration

Once you've set up your Amazon Ads destination and have a model to pull data from, you can set up your sync configuration to begin syncing data. Go to the Syncs overview page and click the Add sync button to begin. Then, select the relevant model and the Amazon Ads destination you want to sync to.

Syncing events

Sync data from any source to Amazon Ads as offline conversion events.

To ensure syncs send each event, your event model must use a truly unique primary key. See the events syncs documentation for more information.

Record matching

For events, you can use any of the following fields as identifiers in Amazon Ads:

  • Email
  • Phone
  • City
  • State
  • Address
  • Postal
  • MAID
  • First name
  • Last name

Please see the Amazon Ads API documentation for more information on the required fields for event syncing.

Field mapping

Hightouch lets you sync event properties via field mapping.

Syncing audiences

Sync data from any source to Amazon Ads audiences.

Audience type

You can sync to first-party data or third-party data based on the type of audience.

  • First-party data audience: Sync hashed user data to audiences
  • Third-party data audience: Sync external identifiers such as MAIDs and cookie IDs

Record matching

To match rows from your model to audience in Amazon Ads, you need to select a model column and corresponding Amazon Ads field. For third-party data audiences, you can match on any of the following fields:

  • Cookie ID
  • Mobile Advertising ID
  • External ID

For first-party data audiences, you can match on any of the following fields:

  • Email
  • Phone
  • City
  • State
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Address
  • External ID

Handling PII and hashing

By default, Hightouch automatically hashes first-party user data fields before sending requests to Amazon Ads.

You can turn off this behavior in the sync configuration. When off, the data from the model should be appropriately normalized and hashed according to Amazon Ads' hashing requirements.
