Audience Stream and multiple IQ profiles

[annah_brown]

We have several IQ profiles that are feeding one main Audience Stream and I would like to enrich using UDO Variables from each of these profiles. However, I am only seeing data sources from one profile when trying to make rules. How can I get the data sources from all my profiles available in Audience Stream?

Hi Annah,

Please email me (dan@tealium.com) and your Account Manager:

1) The Tealium iQ profiles that are sending data to AudienceStream
2) The single AudienceStream profile that all the TiQ profiles feed into.

We'll be able to make a configuration for you that allows the data sources from all the TiQ profiles to sync into the single AS profile.

For future readers of this post:

There is a data source sync that must be configured by a Tealium employee. This will allow data sources from multiple Tealium iQ profiles to appear in a single AudienceStream profile. Contact your Account/Deployment Manager and they will submit the appropriate request for this to be completed.

Hey @dan_george,

Found this thread when I was wondering about the same thing.  Is there any additonal time/processing delay or downside to merging multiple IQ profiles into a single AudienceStream Profile?  Or anything else to be aware of?

Thx.

Hi @Michael_Kim_shc,

There are no delays processing the data. The endpoint is there to collect the data so AudienceStream can begin its processing as soon as the data is received.

The only time we suggest not combing multiple TiQ profiles into a single AS profiles is when those TiQ profiles are seen as wholly independent sites where tracking cross domain visitors is not a concern, or the reporting and action requirements are fully exclusive. This happens when a parent company owns several sub brands that all operate differently from each other.

It's pretty common to have many TiQ profiles feed into a single AS profile. That data source sync I previously mentioned is one of the few requirements in place, and the only one that requires Engineering support.

Does this help answer your question?
