Remove users from UserList on specific date

[Andrii Veretko]

Hi, I'm looking for an approach to remove users from CRM based UserList on specific date.

1. Is it possible to implement using built-in Google Ads REST API methods?
2. Is it possible to set via REST API user custom attributes (like due_date or something) and then get all users by this custom attributes from specific UserList?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API support team.

1.) Is it possible to implement using built-in Google Ads REST API methods?

• You may note that there are multiple ways to remove data from a Customer Match audience list. 
  • Remove the list itself
  • Remove all data from the list at once
  • Remove individual users using identifiers
• However, since you want to remove users from CRM based UserList, then you may use this Rest API endpoint : Method: customers.offlineUserDataJobs.addOperations and use its remove operation.

2.) Is it possible to set via REST API user custom attributes (like due_date or something) and then get all users by this custom attributes from specific UserList?

• With regards to this question, would you be able to provide more context about this so our team can have a better understanding of this? Also, it will be helpful if you can provide some screenshots or documents regarding this.

Furthermore, you may check this Audience management guide for more information.

Thank you for answer.

When I use customers.offlineUserDataJobs.addOperation method then I provide only 1 user attribute in operation: hashedEmail. Can I somehow add other custom attributes like: date_to_be_removed_from_list? If it isn't possible then is there any approaches to make specific users in UserList to be deleted automatically at some date?

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to us.

>> Kindly note that the only supported attributes in the UserIdentifier object are the fields / attributes defined in the documentation. That said, there is no assurance that adding an unknown attribute like date_to_be_removed_from_list will be identified by the Google Ads system.

If it isn't possible then is there any approaches to make specific users in UserList to be deleted automatically at some date?

>> You may have your own logic in your codes to trigger your codes only on a specific datetime.
