Syncing Audiences

DV360 contains a number of different audience types but we only support syncing to CUSTOMER_MATCH_CONTACT_INFO and CUSTOMER_MATCH_DEVICE_ID. Which audience type we sync to depends on the mappings you select in the sync wizard.

If you want to sync to an audience of type CUSTOMER_MATCH_DEVICE_ID then you should only map to the appId and deviceId fields.

If you want to sync to an audience of type CUSTOMER_MATCH_CONTACT_INFO you can map to any field except appId and deviceId.

You cannot mix audience types in a single sync. If you map to the deviceId field you should not add any customer info fields and vice versa.

If you are syncing customer info and you map to an address field (First Name, Last Name, Country Code, Zip Code) then you must map all the address fields.

Digital Markets Act (DMA)

For syncing audiences to DV360, you can include consent information to ensure compatibility with Google's EU User Consent Policy. DV360 now supports two additional fields Consent for ad user data and Consent for ad personalization, which can be set to one of the following values: CONSENT_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED, CONSENT_STATUS_GRANTED, CONSENT_STATUS_DENIED. See Google's documentation for more information.

If you're seeing low match rates, try adding these consent fields. Match rates can be impacted if consent preferences are not included.
