Edit activation dataflows

In Adobe Experience Platform, you can configure various components of existing activation dataflows to destinations, such as:

• Enable or disable activation dataflows
• Add additional audiences to activation dataflows
• Edit mapped attributes and identities
• Edit the activation schedule and export frequency
• Add additional datasets to activation workflows
• Edit names and descriptions for your activation dataflows

Browse activation dataflows

Follow the steps below to browse your existing activation dataflows and identify the one you want to edit.

1. Log in to the Experience Platform UI and select Destinations from the left navigation bar. Select Browse from the top header to view your existing destination dataflows.

   

2. Select the filter icon on the top left to launch the sort panel. The sort panel provides a list of all your destinations. You can select more than one destination from the list to see a filtered selection of dataflows associated with the selected destination.

   

3. Select the name of the destination dataflow that you want to edit.

   

4. The Dataflow runs page for the destination appears, showing its available controls. Depending on the destination type, you can perform various dataflow operations. See the next sections for each supported dataflow operation.

Enable or disable activation dataflows

Use the Enabled/Disabled toggle to start or pause all data exports to the destination.

Add audiences to an activation dataflow

Select Activate audiences in the right rail to change which audiences to send to the destination. This action takes you to the activation workflow.

In the Select audiences step of the activation workflow, you can remove existing audiences or add new audiences to the activation workflow.

The activation workflow differs slightly depending on destination type. For more information on the activation workflows for each destination type, read the following guides:

• Activate audiences to streaming destinations (for example, Facebook or Twitter);
• Activate audiences to batch profile export destinations (for example, Amazon S3 or Oracle Eloqua);
• Activate audiences to streaming profile export destinations (for example, HTTP API or Amazon Kinesis).

Edit the activation schedule and export frequency

Select Activate audiences in the right rail. This action takes you to the activation workflow.

Select the Scheduling step in the activation workflow to edit the activation schedule and export frequency for your dataflow. This step allows you to configure how often data is exported to the destination.

In the Scheduling step of the activation workflow, you can:

• Adjust the export frequency.
• Set or modify the start and end dates for the activation dataflow, and more.

The scheduling operations that you can perform vary slightly depending on destination type. For more information on the activation workflows for each destination type, read the following guides:

• Activate audiences to streaming destinations (for example, Facebook or Twitter);
• Activate audiences to batch profile export destinations (for example, Amazon S3 or Oracle Eloqua);
• Activate audiences to streaming profile export destinations (for example, HTTP API or Amazon Kinesis).

Edit mapped attributes and identities

Select Activate audiences in the right rail. This action takes you to the activation workflow.

Select the Mapping step in the activation workflow to edit the mapped attributes and identities for your activation dataflow. This allows you to adjust which profile attributes and identities should be exported to the destination.

In the Mapping step of the activation workflow, you can:

• Add new attributes or identities to the mapping.
• Remove existing attributes or identities from the mapping.
• Adjust the order of mappings to define the column order in exported files.

The activation workflow differs slightly depending on destination type. For more information on the activation workflows for each destination type, read the following guides:

• Activate audiences to streaming destinations (for example, Facebook or Twitter);
• Activate audiences to batch profile export destinations (for example, Amazon S3 or Oracle Eloqua);
• Activate audiences to streaming profile export destinations (for example, HTTP API or Amazon Kinesis).

Add datasets to an activation dataflow

Select Export datasets in the right rail to select additional datasets to export to your destination. This option takes you to the dataset export workflow.

Edit activation dataflow names and descriptions

To edit the activation dataflow name and description, use the Destination name and Description fields.
