Note You can select members from Data Cloud segments across multiple data spaces. For best results, select your promotion's target audience from segments found within one data space.

## Choose Segment Verification Mechanism

Here are the ways to setup segment verification:

- Query API for multiple data spaces
- Data graphs
    
    ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-real_time_offer_management-264-0-0-production-enus/9bd7649d-776f-43e6-b210-f781a48bbc79/images/icon_important.png)
    
    Important You can use data graphs for segment verification only when your org has Loyalty Management. See [Create Data Graphs for Promotions Segment Verification](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.global_promotions_management_setup_segment_data_graph.htm&language=en_US). However, we recommend that you use Query API for multiple data spaces.

## Requirements to Use Query API for Segment Verification

Complete the prerequisites required to use Data Cloud segments as promotion target audience. Using the Query API doesn’t require any additional configuration.
