Create a user_list that will be based on app users via API

[Nasser Oudjidane]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a user_list that will be based on app users via API? I tried with basic_user_list and rule_based_user_list (Both using conversion_action), but user list has Website visitors as a segment type, even though I attached conversion_action that is from Google Analytics 4 properties (Firebase).

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Yes, it is possible to create a user_list based on app users via the Google Ads API. You can use the CrmBasedUserList to achieve this. 

To create a user_list using crm_based_userlist, you'll need to provide specific information:

• app_id: A string that uniquely identifies the mobile app from which the data was collected. This is required when creating CrmBasedUserList for uploading mobile advertising IDs.
• upload_key_type: A matching key type of the list, which can be CONTACT_INFO, CRM_ID, or MOBILE_ADVERTISING_ID. Mixed data types are not allowed in the same list. This field is required for all customer lists.
• data_source_type: The data source of the list. The default value is FIRST_PARTY. Allowlisted customers may create third-party sourced customer lists.

I would recommend you follow this guide for more information.

Thank you for your reply, 

I want to create the audience according to the Actions that were done on the App. Basically, replicating user_list creation flow as it is done from the UI.

Hi,

Upon checking your concern, I understand that you are looking for guidance on configuring the 'App audience lists' within the Google Ads API. Kindly note that creating the 'App audience lists' is not yet supported in the Google Ads API. I will raise a request to add this feature to be available in the Google Ads API. We cannot provide a scheduled timeline for the availability of this feature in the Google Ads API. I would recommend you to kindly follow our Release Notes and Blog Post for future updates.

Understood, thanks.
