How to Create LinkedIn Custom Audiences
Updated
A custom audience allows you to find existing audiences among people who are on LinkedIn and target your ads. While creating a LinkedIn custom audience in Sprinklr, you can use sources such as websites and members/company lists on LinkedIn to create your audience.
You can select the type of audience you want to create from the following:
Website
Upload Data File
Single Image
Video
Lead Gen Form
Document
Conversation
Company Page
Event Retargeting
Notes:
LinkedIn’s new DMP segment APIs take up to 48 hours to process an audience for creating a new custom audience. You can implement the old API for this process to create custom audiences efficiently.
Note that the audience cannot be edited once it is created using the old API. If you are creating the audience via file upload, the file list size should be less than 300K.
Enablement of this capability requires additional setup. Please reach out to your Success Manager or tickets@sprinklr.com to enable the DP: PAID_LINKEDIN_CUSTOM_AUDIENCE_STREAMING_API_DISABLED.

In the Upload File section, click Upload to upload an already prepared file from your system. Alternatively, you can click Download to download a sample file that you can edit and upload. For more information on supported headers, see List of Supported Column Headers.
Note
The file needs to be in CSV format with one record per row.
Any subsequent addition/removal of users and companies within a Custom Audience will take up to 48 hours.
