Excel Add-In for Facebook Ads

AddCustomAudienceUsers

Updates a custom audience to add the specified users.

Procedure Specific Info

Configuration

Interacting with custom audience users requires configuring both a schema and payload. The PayloadSchema maps out the PII that will be represented in PayloadData.

PayloadSchema can be set as a single key, resulting in a 1-dimensional array in PayloadData:

EXECUTE AddCustomAudienceUsers 
	@CustomAudienceId='123456789123456789',
	@PayloadSchema='EMAIL_SHA256',
	@PayloadData='["31c5543c1734d25c7206f5fd591525d0295bec6fe84ff82f946a34fe970a1e66", "7df7e024c945682f00f2c6410593f407dec0e870af2a9147a62ac459db35d6b8", ...]'

PayloadSchema can also be set as a JSON array with multiple keys, resulting in a 2-dimensional array in PayloadData:

EXECUTE AddCustomAudienceUsers 
	@CustomAudienceId='120208749119170125',
	@PayloadSchema='["EMAIL", "LN"]', 
	@PayloadData='[
					[
						"[email protected]",
						"Exampleman"
					],
					[
						"[email protected]",
						"Exampletoo"
					],
					...
				  ]'

To apply the "Limited Data Use" flag to users, it should be specified with the special "DATA_PROCESSING_OPTIONS" key in PayloadSchema, and must be provided as a nested array member in PayloadData. If using LDU and non-LDU rows in the same payload, an empty array should be used where LDU is disabled:

EXECUTE AddCustomAudienceUsers 
	@CustomAudienceId='120208749119170125',
	@PayloadSchema='["EMAIL", "DATA_PROCESSING_OPTIONS"]', 
	@PayloadData='[
					[
						"[email protected]",
						"Exampleman",
						["LDU"]
					],
					[
						"[email protected]",
						"Exampletoo",
						[]
					],
					...
				  ]'

Session Management

Facebook Ads only allows a maximum of 10000 users to be added to a custom audience in a single request. If more than 10000 (or PageSize, if set) rows are present in PayloadData, the add-in will break the provided PayloadData down into multiple requests. Note that the SessionId parameter must be set in this case.

Hashing and Normalization

Facebook Ads has strict hashing and normalization rules for Customer File Custom Audience User information submitted through the API. The add-in will handle hashing data (where appropriate) if the HashData parameter is set to true, but not normalizing data. See the Facebook Ads API docs for more information on the necessary data normalization.

Note: For single-key schema, only pre-hashed datatypes (E.G. 'EMAIL_SHA256') are supported by the Facebook Ads API. The add-in expects these data types to already be hashed when provided.
