Create a Custom Audience
A custom audience is a static list of users you add to the audience manually.
To create a custom audience:
- Click App Users, then click Audiences
- Click Create Audience
- Type a name for your audience.
- In the "Type" drop-down menu, select "Custom."
- Type the name or email addresses of the people you want to add. To add a person to your audience, click the matched search results.
- When you are done adding users, click "Save."
You can also create a custom audience by importing a CSV file:
- Log in to Campus Cloud, then click "Audiences."
- Select “Import from CSV” from the drop-down next to “Create Audience."
- Click “Select a CSV file here” and choose your file.
- Type a name for your audience.
- Click "Save."
Create a Dynamic Audience
Dynamic audience is created based on a user attribute, so as users’ attributes are updated and synced to Campus App, the members of the audience will change.
To create a dynamic audience:
- Click App Users, then click Audiences
- Click Create Audience
- Type a name for your audience and select "Dynamic" for the type.
- Select a filter, then select values for that filter.
- You can combine filters together by clicking "Add Filter."
- Click "Save."
Your dynamic audience appears on the list.
* Please note that the audience needs to be updated regularly to keep the list of students up-to-date.
Once you create an audience, you can send messages to members of that audience. For more information, see Notify (Send an Announcement).
Note: Once an audience has been created, our processors will take a couple of hours to use the audience to send notifications or add members to channels.
