Integration Details

Implementation Type: Server-side Integration
Implementation Technique: REST API Integration, File Based Transfer Integration
Frequency: Batch Integration
Resulting data: A DataSet will be created with the selected profile identifiers and fields.

Steps/Pattern:

The AMC Instance is checked to see if the dataset exists. If it does not, a new one is created. If it exists, the columns are validated to contain the selected fields.
The Audience is scanned. For each profile:
a. The identifiers are normalized and hashed.
b. The hashed identifiers and selected fields are written to a CSV file in the AMC instance's upload bucket.
A load job is started in AMC to load the file into the configured dataset.
If the export is configured to Keep Updated, it will wait until the next export cycle, where it will start at step 1.

📘
The export will only send users currently in the audience. As profiles fall out of the audience in Lytics they will be removed from the audience being exported to Amazon.

Fields

The identifier fields (listed below in the table) will match the profiles of Amazon users. You must select at least one identifier. The identifier(s) will be normalized based on the chosen country and hashed before being sent to Amazon. The listed Lytics user fields are the default fields in Lytics. Your account may use different fields for storing identifiers.
