Build audience build-audience
The Build audience activity is a Targeting activity. This activity allows you to define the audience that will enter the workflow. When sending messages in the context of a workflow, the message audience is not defined in the channel activity, but in the Build audience activity.
To define the audience population, you can:
- Select an existing audience, created as a list in the client console.
- Select an Adobe Experience Platform audience.
- Build a new audience with the query modeler by defining and combining filtering criteria.
