Send audiences to Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage is an object storage solution for the cloud that is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data.

This topic describes the steps that are required to configure campaigns to send email address, phone numbers, and other profile attributes to Azure Blob Storage.

Note

Ask your DataGrid Operator or your Amperity representative for help configuring Azure Blob Storage as a destination to which you can send campaigns for customer activation.

Build a segment

Use the Segment Editor to build any audience using a series of drop-downs and picklists.

As you define the attribute profile for an audience be sure to refresh segment insights to see how many customers match your audience and to see how much value they bring to your business.

When the segment is ready, activate it, and then use it use it in a campaign to send to your preferred destinations for customer activation.

Which attributes should you use?

You can use any attribute that is in your customer 360 database to define your audience.

When the list of customers who belong to this audience is sent to Azure Blob Storage as part of a campaign you will be required to choose specific attributes to send.

Azure Blob Storage supports the following attributes: email address, phone numbers, and other profile attributes.

Add to a campaign

Use the campaign editor to configure Amperity to send data to Azure Blob Storage. Add a segment, define exclusions and sub-audiences, and then define the audiences that will be sent to Azure Blob Storage.

To add Azure Blob Storage to a campaign

	Open the Campaign Editor. This is available from the Campaigns page. Click the Create campaign button in the top right corner of the page.
	Assign Azure Blob Storage as a destination for at least one treatment group. Note You may need to edit the attributes for the sub-audience to ensure Amperity is sending the right data to Azure Blob Storage.
	Click Edit attributes to review the attributes that Amperity will send to Azure Blob Storage. You must select the set of attributes that are sent to Azure Blob Storage. Review your downstream requirements, open the Edits attributes page, and then select the attributes you want to send to Azure Blob Storage for this campaign. Amperity pre-selects the list of attributes that may be sent to Azure Blob Storage. The Edit attributes page for Azure Blob Storage is similar to: Note The Merged Customers table is the default table from which data is sent to Azure Blob Storage, even though segments are often built against the Customer 360 table. This is by design. The Merged Customers table is the underlying table for customer profile data and is the source for all customer profile data that exists within the Customer 360 table.

Configure default attributes

Each unique destination that is configured to send data to Azure Blob Storage may be configured to have a set of default attributes that will sent to Azure Blob Storage every time this destination is associated with a treatment group in an active campaign.

Default attributes may be configured for a destination by clicking the Default attributes link next to the Create campaign button on the Campaigns page.

The source table is set to Merged Customers for most attributes. Your brand may configure each attribute to be pulled from the source table that best represents how your brand wants to use the attribute in Azure Blob Storage.
