How we integrate with ad platforms

Updated November 2026

Churney predicts each new customer's long-term value within hours of their first event and sends it to Meta, Google Ads and TikTok as the conversion value. Their bidding then goes after the customers who pay back.

How it works

From your warehouse to the bid

Connect

You share warehouse data and give us access to your ad accounts.

Predict

Within hours of a first event, we predict what each customer will be worth.

Send

The prediction goes to the platform as the conversion value, through its own API.

Bid

Value bidding moves spend toward customers who look like your best ones.

On Google Ads web campaigns we also restate the value as customers renew, upgrade, churn or refund.

Routes by platform

Where the value goes

Meta
Conversions API
8–9Event Match Quality with full identifiers

Meta's pLTV value optimization finds your conversion event by its event ID or external ID, so that ID has to be on the event. Churney is part of Meta's pLTV product track.

In apps the MMP often assigns the event ID that pLTV value optimization needs. We find it with you.

Before you start

What makes matching work

Keep click IDs

Capture GCLID, fbc and the TikTok click ID at signup and store them with the user.

Hash it right

Trimmed, lowercased, SHA-256. Our warehouse guides build these views for you.

Link your app IDs

Link Firebase to Google Ads and keep your MMP's user ID on every event.

One ID per event

Give every conversion event its own ID, so a predicted value can attach to it.

Questions

Good to know

Does Churney replace my conversion events?

No. Your events keep firing. Churney adds predicted value: with Meta's pLTV value optimization it attaches to your existing conversion event, elsewhere it arrives as its own conversion. You choose which campaigns bid on it.

Which campaigns use the signal?

The ones you pick. In onboarding you choose a campaign to replicate for the experiment, and the rest run as before.

What data leaves my systems?

Predicted values, click IDs and hashed identifiers. Raw emails and phone numbers stay in your warehouse.

How fast does a value arrive?

Within hours of a customer's first event. On Google Ads web campaigns the value is then restated as the customer matures.

Do I need an MMP?

For Meta and TikTok app campaigns, yes, since the MMP is the route. Google app campaigns go through Firebase. Web campaigns don't need one.
