Yahoo: Export Audience
Starting an export will create a Custom Audience by uploading a Lytics audience into Yahoo Gemini. Lytics can match email addresses. After the initial export (details below), the sync will run continuously, adding users into the Custom Audience as users enter the Lytics audience. The Yahoo API currently doesn't support removals from custom audiences.
