Passthrough Activation Destination Integrations

For certain destinations and integrations, LiveRamp has a Passthrough Activation integration where we pass through hashed PII in a privacy-safe and compliant manner without performing matching (or any leveraging of our Identity Graph) on our end. For destinations that are based on hashed PII, this allows the destination to match the hashed PII to their universe of users.

Note

Passthrough Activation was formerly known as "Direct-to-Platform" and "PII Passthrough".

For some integrations, you can send us either plaintext or SHA-256-hashed PII. For other integrations, you must send plaintext PII.

For some integrations, this is the only identifier data we send. For others, Passthrough Activation is used in addition to matching identifiers to the LiveRamp Identity Graph to increase match rates at the destination.

For some integrations, you might need to activate a separate destination account for Passthrough Activation distributions.

Current Passthrough Activation integrations include the following:

Note

  • Some integrations require extra steps to configure Passthrough Activation. Contact your LiveRamp representative for more information.

  • For GCM, you can also send segments tied to RampIDs, as long as those RampIDs were generated from offline, first-party data.

  • When sending UK or EU data to Facebook, you can also send additional touchpoints that we will hash and pass through. For more information, contact your LiveRamp representative.

When distributing segments through a Passthrough Activation integration, make sure that the segments are based on PII and that the PII is formatted correctly (only sending plaintext PII or SHA-256-hashed PII, if the integration allows that).
