Criteo: Export Audiences

Export your Lytics audiences to Criteo to target a refined set of users with your advertisements. Target based off of interests, and cross-channel behaviors, and the unique data science insights provided by Lytics to get the most out of your ad spend.

• Implementation Type: Server-side.
• Implementation Technique: REST API with audience triggers.
• Frequency: Near real-time audience membership updates, with an optional one-time backfill.
• Resulting data: Users are added and removed from Criteo audiences via configurable user identifier.

This integration utilizes the Criteo Marketing API to update audience memberships. Once an export is started, the job will export in near real-time updates when a user enters or exits the audience selected. On the first run of the job it will:

1. Create a Criteo audience if one is not selected when the export runs for the first time. By default, it will be named Lytics {audience slug} {current timestamp}.

For each user to export, regardless if the user is being added as part of a backfill or they're entering/exiting the audience in real-time, it will:

1. Check if the incoming user has a configured identifier. Users without identifier will be dropped by the job.
2. If the user has an identifier, add the user to a queue to be sent as a batch of users to Criteo.
3. After a minute or if the queue reaches 30,000 users (whichever happens first), users in the queue will be added or removed from the Criteo audience appropriately as a batch.
4. Repeats step 1 to 3 as users enter/exit the audience.
