Dear Team,
Thank you for your previous response and for raising a feature request regarding the "Segment Type" support. I’d like to follow up on a couple of pending points for further clarification: ------------------------------ 1. *Mapping of UI Audience Types to API UserListType Enums* The UI under *Audience Manager > Your data segments* provides the following audience creation options: - Website visitors - App users - YouTube users - Customer list - Google Analytics - Lead form segment - Custom combination Could you please help map these UI options to the corresponding UserListType enums such as: - REMARKETING - RULE_BASED - CRM_BASED - LOGICAL - EXTERNAL_REMARKETING - etc. This mapping is essential to classify existing user lists programmatically when retrieved via the API. ------------------------------ 2. *Identification of Special Audience Types* While user_list.resource_name and user_list.type give us basic classification, how can we: - Identify whether a user list is a *Lead Form Segment* or from *Google Analytics*? - Distinguish between App Users, YouTube users, or Website Visitors using API fields? Any pointers on which fields (e.g., data_source_type, integration_code, etc.) or workaround queries would be helpful for segmenting audiences properly. ------------------------------ I truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to your guidance on the above.
