Upload guide

Prepare your list.

Upload a file, confirm the columns, and Audience Sync builds a company, contact or exclusion audience in your ads account. Here is what it accepts and what it matches on.

File formats

Two formats, one audience per file.

CSV

CSV files

Comma-separated values with a header row. Export one from any spreadsheet or tool you already use.

Excel

Excel files (.xlsx)

Pick the sheet and the row that holds the column headers, so titles or notes above the table don't get in the way.

Updates

One file, one audience

To update an audience, upload a new version of its file. Only the rows that were added or removed are sent.

Uploaded files are deleted after processing. Only hashed emails and the matching columns are kept.

Matching fields

More columns, better matches.

Audience Sync recognizes common header names and suggests the mapping. You confirm it before anything is sent.

Companies

Required, at least one

Company nameWebsite domain

Optional

Company page URLCountry or regionStock symbol

Sending both name and domain gives the best match rate.

Contacts

Required

Email

Optional

First nameLast nameCompany nameJob titleCountry or region

Work emails match best. Invalid emails are skipped and listed in the upload summary.

Destination

Your ads account, nothing else touched.

Sign in with a user who has an advertiser role on the ad account. Audience Sync creates and updates only the audiences it made, and reads back their match rate, size and status.
