General Setup

Give your new Target a name so you can find it in the Daasity platform:

Begin authorizing Daasity by clicking the "Authorize" button:

This will prompt you to login into the Facebook account that you have associated with this browser to make sure to select the correct Facebook account:

Click on "Continue" to enable Daasity to access your Facebook Account:

Allow Daasity to manage the ad accounts that your Facebook account has access to:

Click on "OK" to confirm the setup.

Ad Account Settings

Choose the correct Ad Account ID from the dropdown:

Selecting the Ad Account will determine which Ad account you will be pushing the audience data into

Choose the Audience you want to update in your Facebook Ads account by selecting the correct Custom Audience from the dropdown:

You must create the audience in Facebook Ads before you can push data into the custom audience. If you don't have any audiences in your Facebook Ads account, you will see "No results found".

Data Mapping

You can use email address, phone number, name, and other information to build your audience. For more information, see the Customer File Custom Audiences document on the Meta site.

You can use email address and phone number to match with users in the Facebook.

Once the Audience Source has been selected, the Daasity platform will extract a sample file to determine what data is returned from the extract and list the Source fields that are available to be mapped.

Select or enter the Destination for each Source that you want mapped and pushed to your Facebook Audience. If you leave a Destination blank then Daasity will not push that data element into the Target:

Target Schedule

You need to schedule your target. Possible selections are:

• Daily

• Weekly (select the day of the week)

• Monthly (select the day of the month)

The Target will run after the daily workflow is completed on the schedule selected:
