Example: As in the screenshot above "audience_name" will refer to Meiro Integrations workspace, while for business users in Meiro Business Explorer this field will be visible as "Audience name". It will be a required field, without drop-down and user input required.







Remember: Facebook Custom Anonymous Audience loader does not require: "Audience ID", nor "Retention days" as Facebook Audience loader. It is because Facebook Custom Anonymous Audience loader updated Facebook Pixel events, not Facebook Audiences. It is possible to create an audience out of Facebook Pixel. In this case "Retention days" can be set in the Facebook environment.
