Each destination requires a different (very specific) data structure. |

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.
