Export to destination

To export an audience, you’ll need to build one first. Click New Audience and Create your New Audience.
-
Once you finish building the audience, click Export Audience.
-
When the Create Export window pops up, type Facebook into the search bar and click Select.
-
Then in the Export Settings tab, configure your desired Export Name, Campaign Type and Export Schedule. By default, the name field will auto populate to your audience name so you can easily find it in your destination
-
Next, configure your match fields in the Match Fields tab. We support 14 match fields. To optimize match rates, it's best to map as many of these as possible.

Lastly, click Export, and you're done! Congrats on successfully exporting an Audience to Facebook. To view the export, navigate to the Audiences tool on your Facebook ad account. You can locate this tool by typing “Audiences” into the quick search tool, located at the bottom left of your Facebook ad account.
