# How to Update your Reddit Conversions API Token

> Rotate or update your Reddit Conversions API access token in Upstack Data to keep server-side events flowing into Reddit CAPI without breaking pixel health.

<Tip>
  * Generate a new Reddit CAPI token in [Reddit Ads Manager Events Manager](https://ads.reddit.com/) → **Conversions API**.
  * Sign in to Upstack Data and open your Reddit destination under **Event Destinations**.
  * Replace the existing token with the new value and save.
  * Verify the destination shows **Healthy** within 5 minutes.
</Tip>

<Note>
  **When to update the Reddit CAPI token**

  Reddit Conversions API tokens are **non-expiring**, so they don't need routine rotation. Update the token only when:

  * The token has been compromised or accidentally exposed
  * An administrator has revoked the token in Reddit Ads Manager
  * You're consolidating multiple tokens into a single managed credential
  * The Upstack Reddit destination shows **Unhealthy** with an authentication error
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you need:

* **Admin access** to a **Reddit Ads** account
* An Upstack Data account with an existing Reddit destination ([sign in](https://app.upstackdata.com))

## Steps to update your Reddit CAPI token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate a new Reddit CAPI token">
    Follow the [generate Reddit CAPI token guide](/guides/reddit-ads/how-to-generate-reddit-conversion-api-token) to create a new access token in Reddit Ads Manager.

    Use a descriptive name like `Upstack Data (rotated YYYY-MM-DD)` to track when the token was issued.

    <Warning>
      Copy the new token immediately — Reddit may not show the full token again after you close the generation dialog.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Reddit destination in Upstack Data">
    Sign in to Upstack Data at [app.upstackdata.com](https://app.upstackdata.com/pixel/event-destinations).

    Navigate to **Event Destinations** and click your existing **Reddit** destination to open its configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Replace the access token">
    In the **Conversions API access token** field, clear the existing token and paste the new one.

    Do not change the **Pixel ID** unless you are also moving to a new pixel — the token must be generated for the ad account that owns the Pixel ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the updated configuration">
    Click **Save** or **Update Configuration**.

    Upstack will validate the new token by sending a test event to Reddit's Conversions API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the destination is healthy">
    The Reddit destination card should display **Healthy** with a green status indicator within 5 minutes.

    If the status shows **Unhealthy**:

    * Confirm the new token was pasted in full (no truncation, no whitespace).
    * Confirm the token was generated for the same Reddit Ads account as the Pixel ID.
    * In Reddit Ads Manager → Events Manager → Conversions API, confirm the token is still listed (not revoked).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Revoke the old token (optional)">
    Once the new token is verified working, return to Reddit Ads Manager → Events Manager → **Conversions API** and revoke the old token.

    Revoking the old token prevents accidental future use and reduces the surface area for credential leaks.
