Amazon Ads

Sync contact audiences to Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) for advanced paid media targeting and measurement. This integration enables recurring flows to push contacts directly into AMC, where they will appear as Advertiser Uploaded Audiences.

✅
Amazon Ads is now available in flows.

📘
Audience availability
Amazon Ads processes uploaded audiences hourly (AMC) or every 15 minutes (DSP), but it may take up to 36 hours for audience data to appear in your Amazon Ads UI.

Use Cases

Suppress existing customers from acquisition campaigns
Target high-LTV customers with personalized campaigns in Amazon Ads
Retarget churn-risk users across Amazon-owned properties

Important Considerations

Account Type

Manager accounts support uploading to multiple child accounts.
Individual accounts may be restricted to a single region or advertiser ID.

Region Requirements

Amazon Ads accounts are region-specific. If your account is tied to the EU, you cannot sync to a US-based AMC instance (and vice versa).

Processing Timeline

AMC ingests data hourly
DSP audiences update every 15 minutes, but data may take up to 36 hours to reflect in the UI
