Give your new Target a name so you can find it in the Daasity platform by naming the Target in the red box below

Authorize Daasity

If you don't have any customer lists in your Google Ads account you will see this "No results found"

Audience Setup

Select the source for the Audience that you want to use for this Target by using the drop-downs below. For more information on how to setup the different Audience Sources see our article on Building Audiences

Data Mapping

Your file must have at least 5,000 records in order for Google Ads to build a custom audience
You can use email address, mailing address or phone number to match with users in the Google Ads network

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 your Google Ads Audience. If you leave a Destination blank then Daasity will not push that data element into the Target:
