Send customer profiles to LiveRamp¶
Note
This topic contains information about configuring a destination that sends query results to LiveRamp using orchestrations. To configure a destination that sends audiences to LiveRamp using campaigns see this topic .
LiveRamp allows clients to combine customer data from various online and offline sources, centering around the use of web cookies that allow websites to remember visitors.
You can associate records in Amperity to an audience in LiveRamp by sending a combination of identifier data and query data. LiveRamp uses:
Identifier data to match records to other identifiers in the LiveRamp Identity Graph.
Segment data to group records into segments based on certain attributes for downstream targeting, measurement, and personalization.
LiveRamp requires an audience ID. This may be a client customer ID from another application, it may be the LiveRamp audience ID itself (from LiveRamp data that was imported to Amperity), or it may be the Amperity ID.
Amperity can be configured to send CSV files to LiveRamp.
