Understand the use case logic

This use case consists of two scenarios and leverages customer segmentation to create audience groups for your paid account. Build unique customer segments to target ads effectively.

Scenario 1 - ADS add/remove retargeting based on segmentation

To set up the social media ad audiences scenario, follow these steps:

1. Define your audience segments

Create unique customer segments based on their purchase history. For example, segment customers into groups like:

  • Loyal (5+ purchases)
  • Potential loyal (3+ purchases)
  • Lost (0 purchases)
2. Daily trigger

Schedule the scenario to run daily. This ensures your ad audiences are updated regularly, adding new customers and removing those who no longer fit the segment.

3. Check consent

Verify if a customer has given Paid Media consent. This step ensures you comply with GDPR rules.

4. Validate identifiers

Confirm the customer has a valid email or phone number as an identifier.

5. Segment check

Determine if the customer belongs to any segments you want to push. Also, check if the customer went through this scenario in the last 90 days. This includes customers who are no longer in the segments but still in your ad audiences, so they need removal.

For example, if a customer is in the Loyal **segment, add them to the corresponding audience. Remove them from the audience if they are no longer part of the segment.

6. Adjust segmentation and naming

Customize the segmentation and audience names to fit your needs. Proper naming helps manage and track the effectiveness of your campaigns.

7. Add webhooks

Implement webhooks to automate adding and removing customers from ad audiences.

Scenario 2 - ADS Remove customers from audiences [servicing scenario]

Follow these steps to remove customers from all audiences:

1. Trigger the scenario

Start when a customer rejects Paid Media consent.

2. Wait

Pause for 2 minutes to account for any unintended rejections.

3. Check re-subscription

Verify if the customer has re-subscribed during the wait time.

4. Verify identifiers

Ensure the customer has a valid email or phone number for removal.

5. Confirm audience addition

Attempt to remove the customer only if they were previously added to any audience.

6. Add webhooks

Ensure you add ad audiences webhooks.
