Meta Custom Audiences
Connect a Meta ad account and sync hashed emails into a Custom Audience.
Part of ad audiences. If Meta says coming soon, needs setup, our Meta app isn't approved yet.
Set it up
- Open Ad audiences and click Connect Meta. Sign in to Facebook with a user who can manage the ad account and approve access.
- Choose the ad account. Only active accounts you can manage are listed.
- Accept Meta's Custom Audience terms for that ad account if you haven't. We link to them from the page. Without them, Meta rejects uploads.
- Create an audience. It appears in Ads Manager under Audiences after the next sync, named as you named it.
Good to know
- We create a customer-list Custom Audience and send SHA-256 hashes of trimmed, lowercased emails. The audience is marked as partner-provided data, because the emails come from WhoLayer, not directly from your customers.
- Meta shows an estimated size range. It needs about 100 matched people before the audience can deliver.
- Meta access lasts about 60 days. We show the expiry date; click Reconnect before then to keep syncing.
- Deleting the audience in WhoLayer deletes it in Meta, and ads using it stop.
