Export audiences

Overview

In this destination service, DinMo will create audiences and keep them up to date in Meta.

To do so, you will need to go through these three steps:

  • Creating a Meta destination. Refer to the corresponding section for more info.

  • Creating a user segment composed of all the users that will populate your Meta audience. Refer to this step-by-step tutorial to learn how to build segments without SQL in DinMo.

  • Activating the segment to the Meta destination to start sending data. Refer to the corresponding section for more info.

Each time the activation will be running:

  • Any new user entering your DinMo segment will be added to your Meta audience

  • Any user leaving your DinMo segment will be removed from your Meta audience

Note that only users who have an identifier (phone number or email address) linked to a Meta account will be present in your Meta audience.

Destination setup

Learn how to create such a destination in our step-by-step tutorial

To start exporting audiences, you are first required to create a Meta destination with the corresponding destination service.

You will need to specify the ad account in which your audience will be created.

Note: If the ad account you seek is not listed, it means that the user who connected DinMo to Meta does not have the permissions for this account.

Optional: Setup default activation settings

At the end of the destination creation, you will be proposed to setup Default Activation Settings. This step is optional, but is highly recommended to facilitate the activation process.

By configuring default settings, synchronizing all your audiences to Meta will just take one click. Without default settings, you will be required to go through this configuration each time you activate a new audience.

Note that even if you setup default settings, you will still be able to adjust activation settings for each of your audiences if you wish to.

Refer to the Activation configuration section for more info about the default settings configuration process.

Activation configuration

Once the destination has been setup, and your DinMo segment created, you can create an activation to start sending data to Meta right away. The segment will be exported as a new audience in Meta.

Activation Name and Description

In this section, the name you enter will be the name given to the audience created in Meta. You may also optionally enter a description, that will be attached to the audience in Meta.

By default, and if you activate your segment using the default activation settings, the name of the audience will be the DinMo segment name, and the description will be the DinMo segment description.

Fields mapping

In the Fields mapping section, you are asked to specify the meaning of the fields of your segment that you wish to send to Meta. Any non mapped fields in your segment will not be sent to Meta.

Meta will use the fields you send to recognize each user of your segment. The higher the number of fields you send, the most likely Meta will be able to identify the users.

You can map the following fields:

  • Email (Required): The email addresses of the users. It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • Phone number: The phone numbers of the users. E164 format is preferred ('+49xxxxxxxx'). It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • First Name: It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • Last Name: It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • Gender: Either 'm' or 'f'. It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • Postal Code: It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • Country Code: 2-letter country code in ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 of the user’s address. It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • ZIP code: Use lower case characters, without space. For the US, only keep the first 5 digits. For the UK, use the region/constituency/sector format. It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

  • City: It can be in clear text, or hashed (SHA-256)

Scheduling

In this section, specify how often the audience should be updated in Meta. Every time the audience is updated:

  • Any new user having entered your DinMo segment since the last update will be added to your Meta audience

  • Any user having left your DinMo segment since the last update will be removed from your Meta audience
