Sync event_trackers field on Reddit Ads ad table
Answered
Connector name: Reddit Ads
Table name: ad
Column to add: event_trackers (nested/repeated; each item has a url and tracker type). Called third_party_trackers in Reddit's older v2 API.
API documentation link: https://ads-api.reddit.com/docs/v3/operations/List%20Ads
Additional details: click_url on the ad table only reflects Reddit's own click-through URL. For "AI Max" ad campaigns, the DCM (Google Campaign Manager) third-party click tracker is returned separately in event_trackers, not in click_url. Without this field, we can't recover the DCM placement_id we use to join Reddit spend into our campaign reporting for these ads.

Hi Viet,
Thanks for the detailed report. You're right that Reddit's v3 Ads API dropped the old third_party_trackers/click_trackers fields in favor of event_trackers, and I've confirmed the connector hasn't been updated to sync that field.
I've filed an internal ticket to add a new table sourced from event_trackers, since its structure (an entry per tracker with a type of CLICK or VIEW) doesn't fit cleanly into the existing third_party_tracker/click_tracker tables. While I can't provide a specific timeline, this has been logged and will go through our prioritization process.
One caveat worth flagging for your AI Max use case: per Reddit's documentation, the List Ads endpoint returns only one ad per Max campaign. Once this ships, you'll get one event_trackers entry (and therefore one DCM placement_id) per Max campaign, not one per underlying creative variant. That's a limitation of Reddit's API.
I'll follow up on this thread when I have an update. Thanks for helping us improve the Reddit Ads connector!
Cheers,
Luke
