This example shows how to use the Read audience activity to reconcile an audience directly created from a file import.
When performing a file import, you can directly save its content in an audience. This audience is a File audience and its data is not linked to any database resources.

For example:

Smith;Hayden;23/05/1989;hayden.smith@example.com;124365
Mars;Daniel;17/11/1987;dannymars@example.com;123545
Smith;Clara;08/02/1989;hayden.smith@example.com;124567

A Save audience activity saves the incoming data as an audience. As the data has not been reconciled yet, the audience is a File audience and its data is not recognized as profile data yet.
The reconciliation workflow is designed as follows:
