The name of a segment in The Trade Desk.

The membership duration defines the length of time (in days) at which individual audience members will belong to the segment. The minimum value should be “7” because The Trade Desk uses the previous seven days when building audiences. “14” is the recommended duration.

Tip

Set this value to “0” to remove all audience members.

You may use a query to build the list of email addresses or you may select the email attribute from the attribute editor in your campaigns.

Important

The email column is required and may not be aliased.

Example query

The default audience list in The Trade Desk requires only an email address. This requires a simple SELECT statement that returns only the Amperity ID and its associated email address:

SELECT
  ,amperity_id AS "Amperity ID"
  ,email AS "Email"
FROM Customer360

You may build a more refined list of email addresses, such as those associated with a high-value audience (historical or predicted), or those with affinities for certain products in your brand.

	Verify business user access to queries and orchestrations and access to segments and campaigns. A business user may also have restricted access to PII, which prevents them from viewing and sending customer profile data.
