Can we Export Audiences using flow service API after segment evaluation?

[TheFinder1]

HI All,

I want to export audiences after batch evaluation to cloud destinations. I was able to do this for scheduled using flow service API's.

In UI I can see the after segment evaluation option to schedule my audiences. But ca we achieve the same using API's?.

Hi @TheFinder1 

Not possible to use after segment evaluation export option if you are using the flow service API. 

After segment evaluation is whenever the new audiences qualified to make sure the audience is updating to latest data.

while you pass to S3 bucket or any cloud where native connection is not there, it batch only now.

Hi @TheFinder1 , 

As @Imbalakumar mentioned, currently it's not possible to configure the "export after segment evaluation" option when setting up a destination connection via the Flow Service API.

However, if your audience is batch-based, it's typically evaluated once daily—usually in the early morning—unless a manual execution is triggered (which is limited and not standard practice). In most cases, batch evaluation completes around 2 AM UTC, so you can safely assume 3 AM UTC as a buffer.

To replicate the "after segment evaluation" behavior, you can schedule a Flow Service API request to trigger the dataflow around 3 AM UTC. While this is not truly event-driven or real-time, it closely aligns with the evaluation timing and should meet your requirements effectively.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Parvesh

Yes, Its possible. We have trigger type " AFTER_SEGMENT_EVAL" to use

Below is the payload to activate audience to a dataflow.

        "op": "add",

                }

            }

        }

    }
