Filters & Audiences

Updated today

Two tools for controlling exactly who sees your ads and where they appear.


Filters

Filters let you build lists of specific apps, websites, publishers, or locations — then apply them to campaigns as white lists or black lists.

What Filters Can Contain

Type

Description

Domains

Specific websites (e.g., example.com)

Publisher IDs

Publisher-level IDs from the ad exchange

Bundles

App bundle IDs (e.g., com.example.app)

Site/App IDs

Specific site or app identifiers

App Names

Names of mobile applications

ZIP Codes

Geographic postal codes

How Filters Work on Campaigns

Mode

Effect

White List

Ads only appear on inventory in the list

Black List

Ads are blocked from inventory in the list


Creating a Filter

Go to Filters → Create Filter.

Filter Name — Must be unique across all your filter lists.

List Type — Choose one of the types listed above.

Select Type — How you'll input the data:

  • Manual — Type values directly (max 100 rows)

  • File — Upload a .csv file with one column (max 100,000 rows per file; additional files can be uploaded after creation)

Click Create Filter to save.


Editing a Filter

Open any filter to view all entries. You can:

  • Search entries using the keyword field

  • Double-click any entry to edit it inline

  • Delete individual entries

  • Add or Remove values in bulk via the Edit button:

    • Add — appends new values to the existing list

    • Remove — deletes matching values from the list


Domain Format Notes

All of the following formats are accepted and resolve to the same root domain:

site.com www.site.com site.com/directory http://site.com https://site.com

Subdomains like us.site.com are treated as a separate domain.


Applying Filters to a Campaign

Filters are applied in Step 5 of campaign creation, or anytime via Edit Campaign → Filters.


1st-Party Audiences

Audiences let you target or suppress specific users based on past interactions with your ads, or by uploading your own user lists.

What You Can Do

  • Retarget users who clicked or viewed your previous ads

  • Suppress users who already converted

  • Upload your own customer lists for targeting

  • Collect new audiences from live campaign data for future use

  • Cross-device remarketing — collect users from In-App campaigns and retarget on Web, or vice versa


Creating an Audience

Go to Audiences → + New Audience.

Audience Name — Required.

Identifier Type — Required.

  • IP Addresses — targets users by IPv4 address

  • Device ID — targets users by mobile advertising ID (IDFA/GAID)

Source Type — Required.

Source

Description

Upload

Upload a file of user IDs or IPs; strategy automatically set to Trade

Impression

Click

Collects or targets users who clicked your ad

Conversion

Collects or targets users who converted

Registration

Collects or targets users who registered

Purchase

Collects or targets users who made a purchase

Custom Event 1 / 2

User-defined custom events

Identifier Format — Required when uploading Device IDs.

  • Unhashed advertising IDs

  • MD5 hashed

  • SHA-256 hashed

Make sure your file matches the format you select. The platform does not verify hash format automatically.

Strategy Type

Strategy

Function

Collect

Gathers users who match the source type into this audience for future use

Trade

Actively targets or excludes users in this audience when the campaign runs

File upload limit: 100,000 rows per file.


Connecting Audiences to Campaigns

Audiences are added in Step 4 of campaign creation, or via Edit Campaign → Audiences.

  • Included Audiences — serve ads only to users in these audiences

  • Excluded Audiences — suppress ads for users in these audiences

One audience can be connected to multiple campaigns at the same time.


Editing or Deleting Audiences

From the Audiences list, use the Action column:

  • Edit — change name, strategy type, or update the data file

  • Delete — permanently removes the audience


Using Filters & Audiences Together

  • Use a Black List to block low-quality inventory while using an Included Audience to focus on your best users simultaneously

  • Run a Collect campaign first to build an audience, then launch a second campaign on Trade to retarget those users

  • Combine ZIP code filters with GPS Map targeting for hyper-local campaigns
