Microsoft Bing connection

Overview

The Microsoft Bing destination helps you send profile data to Microsoft Display Advertising.

To send profile data to Microsoft Bing, you must first connect to the destination.

Use cases

As a marketer, I want to be able to use segments built off of Microsoft Advertising IDs to target users via display advertising across Microsoft Advertising channels.

Supported identities

Microsoft Bing supports the activation of identities described in the table below. Learn more about identities.

Item Type Notes
Export type Segment export You are exporting all members of a segment (audience) to the Microsoft Bing destination.

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT

If you are looking to create your first destination with Microsoft Bing and have not enabled the ID sync functionality in Experience Cloud ID Service in the past (with Adobe Audience Manager or other applications), please reach out to Adobe Consulting or Customer Care to enable ID syncs. If you had previously set up Microsoft Bing integrations in Audience Manager, the ID syncs you had set up carry over to Platform.

When configuring the destination, you must provide the following information:

  • Account ID: this is your Bing Ads CID, in integer format.

Connect to the destination

IMPORTANT

To connect to the destination, you need the Manage Destinations access control permission. Read the access control overview or contact your product administrator to obtain the required permissions.

To connect to this destination, follow the steps described in the destination configuration tutorial.

Connection parameters

While setting up this destination, you must provide the following information:

  • Name: A name by which you will recognize this destination in the future.
  • Description: A description that will help you identify this destination in the future.
  • Account ID: Your Bing Ads Customer ID (CID). Your CID is an integer, found in the URL when you log into Microsoft Advertising.

Enable alerts

You can enable alerts to receive notifications on the status of the dataflow to your destination. Select an alert from the list to subscribe to receive notifications on the status of your dataflow. For more information on alerts, see the guide on subscribing to destinations alerts using the UI.

When you are finished providing details for your destination connection, select Next.

Activate segments to this destination

IMPORTANT

To activate data, you need the Manage Destinations, Activate Destinations, View Profiles, and View Segments access control permissions. Read the access control overview or contact your product administrator to obtain the required permissions.

See Activate audience data to streaming segment export destinations for instructions on activating audience segments to this destination.

In the Segment schedule step, you must manually map the segment name in the Mapping ID field. This ensures that segment metadata is correctly passed through to Bing.
