Quickstart
This guide walks you through the steps to get your first audience or signal exporting to an ad platform.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- A BPP account with your workspace configured.
- A Google BigQuery dataset connected to BPP with your user and event data already set up.
- Access to at least one supported ad platform (Google Ads or Meta Ads).
Step 1 — Create a Connection
Navigate to Connections in the left sidebar and create a connection to your ad platform.
- Google Ads: click Authenticate with Google, sign in, and select the target Google Ads account.
- Meta Ads: click Authenticate with Facebook, sign in, and select the Ad Account and Pixel.
A connection must show Active status before you can use it as a destination.
See Connections for full setup instructions per platform.
Step 2 — Create a Signal or Audience
Option A — Send conversion data (Signal)
Navigate to Signals and click Create Signal:
- Give it a name.
- Define the Trigger: select the event table and add filters to isolate the right event rows (e.g.,
Stage = Closed Won). - Add a Destination: select your connection, choose the conversion action, set the value formula, and map the identifier fields.
- Save the signal. When you are ready to start sending data, toggle Enabled to on.
Option B — Sync an audience (Audience)
Navigate to Audiences and click Create Audience:
- Give it a name.
- Add Filters: select fields from your data (user attributes, AI scores) and define the conditions.
- Check Audience Preview to see the estimated segment size and how many users have the identifiers needed for matching.
- Add a Destination: select your connection and map the identifier fields (email, phone, etc.).
- Save the audience. Toggle Enabled to on to start syncing.
Step 3 — Monitor your syncs
Navigate to the audience or signal detail page, or open Sync History, to monitor export runs. Each run shows:
- How many records were processed and how many failed.
- When the run completed.
- The status: Complete or Error (with an explanation if it failed).
If a run fails, fix the reported issue — the next scheduled run will retry automatically.
