AudienceStore Connector Setup Guide

[#1]

With the AudienceStore Connector, you can send visitor profile data to Tealium's Amazon S3 bucket. A visitor profile contains data pertinent to the visitor and their visit (excluding events), typically captured by the Tealium Collect Tag. Rather than exporting one visitor profile at a time, the AudienceStore connector selects visitor profiles that share common behaviors to send to AudienceStore.

The AudienceStore connector has two actions that allow you to specify the data to export and when to trigger the export. Data is compressed in log files and uploaded to the audiences folder in the S3 bucket ONLY after the data reaches 100 MB in size or 1 hour passes (whichever happens first). By default, data is stored as JSON key-value pairs. In S3, you can download the data and analyze it using the business intelligence tool of your choice.

Configure Action Parameters

The Send Visitor Data to Bucket (All Attributes) action has the following parameters:

• Include Current Visit Data – All event data for the most recent visit by the visitor is included.
• Send By Attribute ID – By default, the visitor data JSON property keys are based on AudienceStream attribute names, which can change. Select Send By Attribute ID to use attribute IDs as JSON property keys and avoid issues that can occur if attribute names change. 

The Send Visitor Data to Bucket (Selected Attributes) action has one parameter, as follows:

• Format Data as CSV – store data in CSV format instead of JSON.
