Loader requires contacts.csv file in directory /data/in/tables/contacts.csv.

 

The CSV file contacts.csv must include a header with the following fields:

Emails

Either all or none of FirstName, LastName, CountryCode, and ZipCodes have to exist. They cannot partially exist.


All phone numbers must be formatted using the E.164 format and include the country calling code.


The Emails, PhoneNumbers, and ZipCodes must be dumped as JSON lists.

with open('contacts.csv', 'w') as csvfile:
    contacts_writer = csv.writer(csvfile)
    contacts_writer.writerow(['Emails', 'PhoneNumbers', 'ZipCodes', 'FirstName', 'LastName', 'CountryCode'])
    contacts_writer.writerow([json.dumps(["test1@meiro.io", "test2@meiro.io"]), json.dumps([])])

Example of CSV file:

Emails,PhoneNumbers,ZipCodes,FirstName,LastName,CountryCode
"[""test1@meiro.io"", ""test2@meiro.io""]",[],,,,
Data Out

After each successful export, the loader returns information about the processed audience.
The output includes the Audience ID of the audience that was created or updated in the connected platform.

 

This information can be used for automation or integration purposes, allowing the Audience ID to be automatically populated in CDP and removing the need for manual updates.

 

Example Output:

 

{
  "audience_name": "Summer Campaign 2025",
  "audience_id": "1234567890",
  "status": "success"
}

  • If the Audience ID is provided in the configuration, the loader updates the existing audience with that ID.

  • If the Audience ID is not provided, a new audience is created using the Audience Name, and the corresponding Audience ID is returned in the output.
