Sync Contact to Custom Audience
Overview
This action creates a new Customer Match list in your Microsoft Advertising account with the contacts from the segment you choose. You can schedule it on a cadence, or send it one time.
Before you begin
Be sure you've authenticated your Microsoft Account in Simon.
Before you use this action in a flow, you must have at least one existing Microsoft Advertising customer match list. When you create this list in Microsoft, you must have:
- Uploaded a sample customer list with at least one email address
- Accepted the terms and conditions for that list
To do the above, follow the Microsoft's help guide here..
Add the action to a flow
- From a Simon Activate flow, choose the Microsoft Advertising channel then the Sync Contact to Custom Audience action.
- If more than one, choose the Microsoft Account you'd like to send the data to.

- Once you save and launch the flow, you can view the results in your Microsoft Advertising dashboard. They'll be titled in your Microsoft dashboard as
Simon_Segment_Name_Flow ID Number
. For example, Simon_email_click_last_30_days_000000000.- If you schedule your flow for one time, it'll create a new Match List.
- If you schedule your flow to recur, it'll create a new match list then incrementally sync to the same match list it created originally
- To find a Flow ID in Simon, open the flow details page. The ID number is in the URL
