After admins install your external activation platform, you can receive segments to Cloud File Storage (Amazon S3). For each activation target, you receive a success file, metadata file, and activation output files once a day for each identifier type when the output is grouped by user identifiers (PER_USER). Because files arrive only once a day, there’s a delay between Data 360 customers updating segments and those changes arriving to S3.
- Log in to Cloud File Storage.
- Go to the bucket that you provided in the Bucket Name field when you created your external activation platform.
- Go to
s3://{Bucket-Name}/{Date}/{Account-ID}/{Activation-Run-ID}/type={ID-Type}/.
Segments publish every 24 hours as multiple CSV, NDJSON, or Parquet files. Multiple partial files are delivered for each identifier type when the output is grouped by user identifiers (PER_USER), and each partial file is an individually compressed GZIP file. When the activation output is grouped by segments (PER_SEGMENT), the refresh schedule is tied to the segment publish schedule.
