Audience Presets
Audience presets are pre-built targeting templates for common use cases. Instead of building rules from scratch, select a preset to instantly create an audience with sensible defaults, then customize it as needed.
Available Presets
The following presets are available out of the box:
| Preset | Description | Default Rules |
|---|---|---|
| New Users | Users who signed up recently | traits.signupDate within the last 7 days |
| Power Users | Highly active users | traits.loginCount gt 50 AND traits.daysActive gt 30 |
| Mobile Users | Users on mobile devices | device.type eq "mobile" |
| Tablet Users | Users on tablet devices | device.type eq "tablet" |
| Desktop Users | Users on desktop devices | device.type eq "desktop" |
| Admins | Users with the admin role | role eq "admin" |
| Editors | Users with the editor role | role eq "editor" |
| Viewers | Users with the viewer role | role eq "viewer" |
Creating an Audience from a Preset
- Navigate to Audiences and click Create Audience.
- Select Start from Preset instead of building from scratch.
- Choose a preset from the list.
- The audience is created with the preset's name, description, and rule tree pre-filled.
- Click Save to use the preset as-is, or modify it first.
You can also create audiences from presets via the API:
POST /api/audiences/presets
Content-Type: application/json
{
"presetId": "new-users"
}
Customizing Preset Rules
Presets provide a starting point, not a final configuration. After creating an audience from a preset, you can:
- Add rules -- Extend the preset with additional conditions. For example, add
device.type eq "mobile"to the New Users preset to target only new mobile users. - Remove rules -- Delete conditions that do not apply to your use case.
- Change operators or values -- Adjust thresholds, such as changing the Power Users login count from 50 to 100.
- Modify the logic -- Switch rule groups between AND and OR to change how conditions combine.
- Rename the audience -- Give it a name that reflects your customized targeting.
All changes are saved to your audience instance. The original preset template remains unchanged and can be reused to create additional audiences.
When to Use Presets vs. Custom Audiences
- Use presets when your targeting needs align with a common pattern and you want to get started quickly.
- Build custom audiences when you need rules based on application-specific traits, complex nested logic, or fields not covered by the default presets.
Presets and custom audiences behave identically once created. Both are evaluated by the same targeting engine and can be attached to any content type.
