Summary

We have added and changed the following three features to the "Customer data" in the audience list used for audience list targeting in Display Ads.

  • Add phone numbers to available customer data
  • Change upload file format
  • Set a duration for checking the upload status

Add phone numbers to available customer data

You can create an audience list that includes phone number data. Targeting using customer phone number data became available.
*Both unhashed and hashed data became available. Unhashed phone numbers are hashed on your computer using the SHA256 algorithm before being sent to our server.

Change upload file format

We have changed the format of some of the files you import into the audience list. Changes are as follows:

File format Unhashed data CSV file (.csv)
Hashed data files and identifiers for app ads (IDFA or AAID) CSV file (.csv)
Compress CSV files (.csv) in ZIP format
Data type ・Identifiers for app ads (IDFA or AAID)

Column headings Required
 Email address: Heading item name "Email"
 Telephone number: Heading item name "Phone"

*There is no change for other items such as character codes.

Set a duration for checking the upload status

We have set the duration you can check the "Upload status," allowing you to check the upload date and time, linked data types, and other information. You can view the upload status up to 30 days in advance after the release date. Note that you can't view upload status before 31 days.
You can check the "Upload status" from the "i" icon in the "linked data" column in the list view of the audience lists.
