Audiences

Audiences lets you build, download, and share customized user lists—right from Campaign Lab. Set conditions to segment users, then create group lists to share with partners for retargeting campaigns, A/B testing, and more.

Growth solution:
Audiences is available as an Adjust Growth Solution. To get Audiences on your account, contact sales@adjust.com.

Use Audiences 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.

Create an audience

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.

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.

To create an audience, follow these steps.

  1. Under Campaign Lab, select Audiences.
  2. Select New audience.
  3. Enter your audience name.
  4. Select one of the following stores:
    • Apple Store
    • Google Play
  5. Select one of the following ID types:
    • Advertising ID
    • Push token
  6. Select one or more of your apps. Users of the selected apps are included in your audience.
    • If you select multiple apps, some conditions won’t be available and you won’t be able to share this audience with Google Ads accounts.
  7. Choose as many dimensions as you want to filter your audience.
    • Skip this step if you want to include the entire user list of your selected apps.
  8. Next, divide your audience into 1-10 groups. You can name groups and customize the percentage of users within each group.
  9. Review your choices, and make any changes as necessary. Select Create Audience.

Well done! Now you can view your audience settings or share your user lists with partners.

Filter your audience

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: 

ConditionAvailability
AppsRequired condition
Links (network level)Available when only one app is selected
EventsAvailable when only one app is selected
Event count-
Countries -
App StatusAvailable with uninstall and reinstall measurement
Uninstall TimeAvailable when App Status isUninstalled

Device Types -

Last Session
Last Event TimeAvailable when only one app is selected
Attributions -

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:

IncludeEvery user in your audience must meet this specific condition.
