POST batch/accounts/:account_id/tailored_audiences

Allows for batch creation of Tailored Audiences. See the Tailored Audiences Overview page for information on audiences.

Batch Requests

  • Batch requests fail or succeed together as a group and all API responses for both error and success preserve the item order of the initial request.

Batch Responses

Batch API responses return an ordered collection of items. Otherwise, they are identical in structure to their corresponding single-item endpoints.

Batch Errors

  • Request-level errors (eg. max batch size exceeded) are shown in the response under the errors object.
  • Item-level errors (eg. missing required parameter) are shown in the response under the operation_errors object.

Flexible Audiences

Run in Postman ❯ 
  • Flexible Audiences are immutable once created.
  • Tailored Audiences are passed in a tree structure with boolean logic combinations to create Flexible Audiences
  • A maximum of 10 Tailored Audiences leaf nodes can be used to create a Flexible Audience.
