How to Use the standard user attribute in the Connected audience object filter
from the API side, I followed the document here to create an audience filter and send a message to the audience after this filter. But the document only mentions using custom attributes: { "cus...
🤦♀️ I think I misinterpreted the docs! Sorry about that, st-haingo The correct approach for filtering based on standard user attributes in the Braze API is indeed to use custom_attribute, and I appreciate your patience.
To clarify, the correct structure for your audience filter when using standard user attributes should look like this:
{ "custom_attribute": { "custom_attribute_name": "country", "comparison": "equals", "value": "VN" } }So this means that in your API request body for scheduling a message, you should structure it like this:
{ "messages": { "apple_push": { "alert": { "title": "良い一日を！", "body": "I hope 2024 is going to be a better year for this world 12" }, "message_variation_id": "" } }, "campaign_id": "", "schedule": { "time": "2024-11-20T00:50:00+0000" }, "audience": { "AND": [ { "custom_attribute": { "custom_attribute_name": "country", "comparison": "equals", "value": "VN" } } ] } }If that still doesn't work let me know, or you can always get in touch with support. But I'm gonna tag in some other Braze experts here to validate me (I'm still really new at JSON!) -- DavidO or AllanHeo or Manoj__ any chance you can double check my work? 😅
Thank you for your quick reply,
I tried your solution but it is still giving error. This is API detail, could you help me check it
API: @POST /messages/schedule/create
Request body:
{ "messages": { "apple_push": { "alert": { "title": "良い一日を！", "body": "I hope 2024 is going to be a better year for this world 12" }, "message_variation_id": "" } }, "campaign_id": "", "schedule": { "time": "2024-11-20T009:50:00+0000" }, "audience": { "AND": [ { "user_attribute": { "attribute_name": "country", "comparison": "equals", "value": "VN" } } ] } }Error message:
{ "message": "user_attribute is not a supported filter type." }Looks like I made a mistake somewhere, can you point out where I am wrong.
Thank you so much
