Sync Segments to Meta

Sync your Triple Whale Customer Segments directly to Meta as Custom Audiences. Once synced, you can use these audiences for ad targeting, exclusions, or as seed audiences for Meta Lookalikes—all powered by Triple Pixel data that captures up to 40% more users than standard tracking.


How It Works

After you've created and saved a segment, you can sync it to your connected Meta ad account. Triple Whale creates a new Custom Audience in Meta named "[Segment Name] - Triple Whale" and keeps it updated as customers enter or exit your segment.

To Sync a Segment to Meta:

  1. Go to your Segments list

  2. Find the segment you want to sync

  3. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the right side

  4. Select Manage Syncs

  1. In the Syncs modal, select your sync settings:

    • Provider: Choose Meta

    • Meta Account: Select your connected ad account

    • Lookalike audience market: Choose your target country/region

  2. Click Submit

A new audience named "[Segment Name] - Triple Whale" will be created in your Meta account automatically.

Note: You cannot sync a segment until it finishes building. Wait for the segment to fully process before setting up syncs.


Managing Syncs

From the three-dot menu on any segment, you can:

  • View Segment Rules — See the conditions that define this segment

  • Manage Syncs — Add, edit, or remove platform syncs

  • Export as CSV — Download the segment as a file


Why Sync to Meta?

More accurate audiences

Triple Pixel captures events that Meta's native pixel misses. Syncing these segments means your Meta audiences include customers that would otherwise be invisible to the platform.

Better lookalikes

Use your Triple Whale segments as seed audiences for Meta Lookalikes. Because your seed data is more complete, the resulting lookalike audiences perform better.

Smarter exclusions

Exclude recent purchasers, high-value customers, or any custom segment from prospecting campaigns—without relying solely on Meta's limited attribution window.


Common Use Cases

Exclude recent buyers

Sync a "Purchased in last 14 days" segment and use it as an exclusion in your prospecting campaigns to avoid wasted ad spend.

Target cart abandoners

Sync your cart abandoner segment for retargeting campaigns with reminder ads or discount offers.

Build better lookalikes

Sync a segment of your highest-value repeat customers. Use it as a seed audience in Meta to find similar high-potential shoppers.

Re-engage lapsed customers

Sync a "Lapsed 90+ days" segment and run win-back campaigns with personalized offers.


Requirements

  • Active Meta Ads integration in Triple Whale

  • At least one saved Customer Segment

  • Segment must be fully built before syncing
