Mapping the Data 

Once the Audience Source has been selected, the Daasity platform will extract a sample file to determine what data is returned from the extract and list the Source fields that are available to be mapped 

Select or enter the Destination for each Source that you want mapped and pushed to the Facebook Audience.  If you leave a Destination blank then Daasity will not push that data element into the Audience.
