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.
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.
- Under Campaign Lab, select Audiences.
- Select New audience.
- Enter your audience name.
- Select one of the following stores:
- Apple Store
- Google Play
- Select one of the following ID types:
- Advertising ID
- Push token
- 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.
- 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.
- Next, divide your audience into 1-10 groups. You can name groups and customize the percentage of users within each group.
- 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:
Condition | Availability |
---|---|
Apps | Required condition |
Links (network level) | Available when only one app is selected |
Events | Available when only one app is selected |
Event count | - |
Countries | - |

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. |
