Hello,

Is there a way to upload users (customer emails) to audience user list via API if yes using which service?

We have a audience user list with customers email ids and want to update that list periodically via API


Thanks

Hi Anil, 

You need to use AdwordsUserListService in AdWords API to create user lists and upload email addresses to populate the user lists. This guide provides more details on using this service to manage your UserLists. The AddCrmBasedUserList Java example demonstrates how to add a user list and upload hashed email addresses to populate the list. Example code in other languages is available here.

Hello,

Thanks. We are now able to create new CRM Based user list with customer email ids. Don't know why but list size shows 0 when fetched using API although we have added 4 email ids in it.
How can we get customer email ids in CRM Based list using API? 

Thanks

Hi Anil, 

For privacy purposes, the user list size of a CrmBasedUserList will show as zero until the list has at least 1,000 members. After that, the size will be rounded to the two most significant digits. For the same reason, I'm afraid you cannot retrieve the email addresses uploaded to a UserList using the API. Please go through the caveats associated with CrmBasedUserList provided here.

Hello,

We have uploaded another list over 60,000 customers on Friday. Adwords account shows 41,000 members in list now. Is there a way to check the missing email ids?
Secondly we can get the list size using "AdwordsUserListService" but not able to fetch a list of customer email ids. Isn't it possible through API, if possible then using which service?

Thanks

Hi Anil, 

The email addresses included in the MutateMembersOperation must be associated with a Google account to be imported into the CrmBasedUserList. This is probably the reason you see that of the 60,000 email addresses, approximately 41,000 are imported. I'm afraid you'll not be able to retrieve the email addresses in a UserList using AdWords API or the UI.

Hi Rajeev, 

You can use AdwordsUserListService get() or query() methods to retrieve the details of a UserList. This guide shows how to work with the get() and query() methods including sample code snippets.

Hello Trinath, 

You can take a look at the API call example which uses curl and SOAP XML to send a request to the CampaignService as a reference. You may also refer to this code snippet on how to add customer emails to the user lists.
