      Uploading an Audience File in the StudentBridge Platform

      The second step in launching your own Campaign involves uploading an Audience file.This process will mirror the Contact File upload process you just learned! Your audience files are target groups of students that you'd like to message.
       

      The Upload Audience feature should only be used for audiences that do not need to be updated regularly, or are used in On Activate or Date & Time campaigns. If your CRM supports automatic data transfer to the sFTP, audience files should be updated through that process. If you are manually updating the audience files for Rolling campaigns, then you should utilize this upload feature.

      Review the Audience File Overview section to learn how to build your .csv Audience File.
