Creating Audiences

Creating Audiences

Feature availability
 

Overview
An Audience is a group of users created based on specific conditions or by manually selecting users. It helps you target a particular set of people within your network.
For example, you can create an audience that includes users from a specific department, location, or role. You can also manually add users or use conditions to automatically include users who match certain criteria.
Audiences help organize users into meaningful groups so that content, communication, or actions can be directed to the right people.

How is it useful?  

Audiences help you manage and interact with users more effectively by grouping them based on relevant criteria.
With audiences, you can:
  • Target specific groups of users easily
  • Split users based on attributes or conditions
This makes it easier to handle a large network and makes sure that the right users receive the right information.
Info
Currently, you can create audiences and use them to create audience dashboard.

Who can configure audiences?  

Only Network Admins and custom roles with user management access can create and configure audiences.

Configuring an Audience

To create an audience:
  1. Click the gear icon from the right menu.



  2. From the dropdown, select Settings.
  3. Under Users & Controls, select Audience.



  4. Click Create Audience.



  5. In the pop-up, enter the audience name, description, and click Next.



  6. Choose the audience type from the two options:
    • Manual- Users have to be added manually by you.
    • Condition-based- Users are automatically added and removed based on defined conditions you set.


Setting up a manual audience

  1. In the audience type selection pop-up, click Add users manually.



  2. Click Add users.



  3. In the pop-up, search and select users you'd like to add to this audience.



  4. Click Add.
 
To add bulk users,
  1. Click Import bulk users.



  2. In the pop-up, click Upload to select a .csv from your device with the email addresses of users you'd like to add to this audience.



  3. Click Add Users.



NotesNote:
  • Import users under their existing network role (Member, Guest, or External User) using the respective column.
  • In the import pop-up, passed and failed email addresses are listed. You can unselect passed emails if needed, but review them before adding.
 

Setting up a condition-based audience

  1. In the audience type selection pop-up, click Add users by condition.



  2. Under Conditions, choose the field you want to filter users by (for example, department, location, or role).



  3. Select the operator and enter the required value.



  4. Click + icon at the right corner to add more conditions if required.



  5. Combine conditions using AND or OR.



  6. The condition pattern will be shown below for your preview. Check and click Save.

Info
Info:
  • By default, conditions are executed from left to right.
  • Users can edit the pattern and modify brackets to group conditions and control the execution flow.
  • The condition order cannot be changed within the pattern. To reorder conditions, use the condition list by dragging and dropping them.

Notes
Note: 
  • When you add a condition, the system scans all user profiles in your network and automatically adds those who match it to the audience.
  • You can add up to 20 conditions.
 
To delete a condition, click the trash icon near it.
 
 

Can I switch between Manual and Condition-based audiences?

Yes, you can switch an audience from Manual to Condition-based and vice versa at any time. However, switching the audience type will affect the users in that audience.
For example, when you switch an audience from Manual to Condition-based, all manually added users will be removed. The audience will evaluate all users in your network and automatically include only those who match the defined conditions.
 

How many audiences can be created in a network?

You can create up to 25 audiences in your network including disabled audiences.
