Customers
Customer data is required to generate personalized ads with CitrusAd. See CitrusAd's docs for more details.
Record matching
You must match rows in your model with customers in CitrusAd on the Customer ID field.
In Insert mode, CitrusAd automatically generates a customer ID for every new record synced, so there is no need to match an existing record.
Field mapping
You can sync any model columns to CitrusAd's default customer fields including targetingData.
When creating new customer records in CitrusAd via insert or upsert mode, CitrusAd sets a default value to all fields without a value, whether you've mapped them or not.
You can find CitrusAd's default values in the table below:
| Field name | Default value |
|---|---|
| Year of Birth | 0 |
| Gender | "Other" |
| Postcode | "" |
| Suburb | "" |
The Gender field accepts the following values:
"Male","Female","Other" case insensitive. If you send any other values, CitrusAd changes them to "Other".
When updating existing customer data via update or upsert mode, Hightouch pulls the existing customer data from CitrusAd and merges it with your updates.
