Audience Builder
Our classic dashboard was sunset on March 29, 2024. All Adjust customers should switch to Audiences to start building your custom user lists. For existing customers using Audience Builder, you can continue to access it until May 31, 2024. To access Audience Builder from Adjust Audiences, select Go to classic Audience Builder next to the + New Audience button and follow the instructions.
Audience Builder lets you build, download, and share customized user lists—right from your Adjust dashboard. Set conditions to segment users, then create group lists to share with partners for retargeting campaigns, A/B testing, and more.
Before you begin
Here's what you need to know before getting started.
Availability
- Admins and Editors.
Helpful information
- Audience Builder user data doesn't include personally identifiable information—it's privacy compliant and stored separately from other Adjust reporting.
- Audiences can combine users from multiple Adjust-tracked apps.
Audience Builder basics
Audiences are custom user lists that segment users based on conditions like device type, install date, app activity, and more. They update in real time, so you can always access an up-to-date user list of advertising IDs or push tokens.
Use Audience Builder to:
- Segment users across all of your apps.
- Share custom user lists with networks.
- Conduct A/B campaign tests.
- Measure network performance.
- Avoid paying multiple networks to target the same users.
You can divide audiences into up to 10 groups. Every group contains unique users, and you can customize the percentage of users within each group.
Build an audience
Use this link to share the video. To build an audience, follow these steps.
- Select MENU > Audience Builder > Build an audience (or NEW AUDIENCE if you've already built an audience).
- Enter your audience name.
- Select your store and ID type.
- Select one or more of your apps.
- Select as many conditions as you want. Be sure to confirm each condition (select the checkmark) before adding another.
- Select NEXT.
- Divide your audience into 1-10 groups. You can name groups and customize the percentage of users within each group.
- Select Create.
Well done! Now you can download your audience data or share your user lists with networks.
Edit an audience
You can edit an audience after an audience has been created. If your existing audience has been linked to any partners, you first need to unlink the audience before you can edit it. You can also choose to erase all audience history from any linked partners when you unlink the audience.
To edit an audience:
- Select MENU > Audience Builder
- Select the caret (^) on an audience to expand the audience options.
- Select Edit.
- Select Unlink audience only or Unlink & erase all audience history from (#) partners.
Well done! You can now edit the audience. The process from here is identical to building an audience.
Download or share an audience
After you build an audience, Adjust automatically creates a URL for each of its groups. You can use these URLs to download (or let your partners download) a CSV file list of all the users in each group.
To download or share your audience data, follow these steps.
- Select MENU > Audience Builder.
- Select the caret (^) on an audience to expand the audience options.
- Select Details.
- Find the group you want to download or share and select Copy (clipboard icon) to copy its URL.
All done! Now you can use a download tool like Wget to programmatically scrape audience data.
Ready to share custom user lists with retargeting partners? Just send them the group URL. Anyone with the link can download audience data (including all device identifiers) for that group.
Stop sharing an audience
To stop sharing an audience with a partner, you need to reset the group URL. This replaces the current group link with a new one, and anyone still using the old link will lose access to that user list.
To reset your group URL, follow these steps.
- Select MENU > Audience Builder.
- Select the caret (^) on an audience to expand the audience options.
- Select Details.
- Select Settings (gear icon) for the group you want to update.
- Select Reset link.
Now that you have reset your group URL, you can share the new link with another network or partner.
Conditions
Use conditions to filter the users in your audience by app status, attribution type, and more. For example, if you only want your audience to include organic users from China or France, set Attributions to organic
and Countries to China
and France
. You can set any number or combination of conditions.
Here are the available conditions:
Condition | Availability |
---|---|
Apps | Required condition |
Trackers (network level) | Available when only one app is selected |
Events | Available when only one app is selected |
Event count | |
Countries | |
App Status | Available with uninstall and reinstall tracking |
Uninstall Time | Available when App Status isUninstalled |
Reinstall Time | Available when App Status is Reinstalled |
Device Types | |
Install Time | |
Last Session | |
Last Event Time | Available when only one app is selected |
Attributions | |
Revenue Events | |
Total Time Spent | |
Total Revenue | Available if all selected apps use the same currency |
Every user in your audience will meet all of your set conditions. For example, if you set App Status to Reinstalled
and Revenue Events to More than 3
, then your audience will only include users who reinstalled your app and triggered more than 3 revenue events.
Expressions
Expressions are parameters for conditions. You can filter your audience data with the following expressions:
Expression | Notes |
Include | Every user in your audience must meet this specific condition. Example: if Events includes Purchase , then your audience won't include data for any other events. |
Exclude | None of the users in your audience can meet this specific condition, even if they meet other conditions. Example: if Countries is Japan but Apps excludes ExampleApp , then your audience won't include ExampleApp users in Japan. |
Less than / More than / Exact | These expressions let you set quantitative conditions. Examples using the Revenue Events condition:
|
Before / Since | These expressions let you set date-based conditions. Examples using the Install Time condition:
