Checks if an individual belongs to a given audience.

NOTE

You can retrieve up to 100 audiences.

The audience name must be a string constant. It cannot be a field reference nor an expression.

Audiences are defined in the Adobe Experience Platform. The expression editor provides an autocompleted list of audiences.

Audiences can have two statuses:

  • realized: Entity qualifies for the segment definition.
  • exited: Entity is exiting the segment definition.

Only the individuals with the Realized audience participation status will be considered as members of the audience. For more on how to evaluate an audience, refer to the Segmentation Service documentation.

inAudience('audienceName') == true means that you have a segmentMembership with the entered status.

inAudience('audienceName') == false means that you have a segmentMembership of the exited status.

IMPORTANT

Changing the name of an existing audience does not automatically update any references to that audience in your journey expressions. If your condition node uses inAudience('oldAudienceName'), you must manually edit the expression to use the new name. Failure to do so will cause the journey condition to break.
