## Activate to Adobe Target

You should now see the details of your segment.  Since the audience is brand new there are no qualified profiles yet.  

:::hint{type="info"}
The counts reported on this page update at intervals even though profiles will qualify for the audience in real time.  **Total qualified count** will update nightly, the **new audience updated** count will update each hour.  
:::

 Click on the **Activate to destination **button.

Here you can see all of the destinations that are currently connected to this instance for Activation.   Select **Target HOL **and click **Next. **

The mapping step allows you to share profile attributes from Adobe RTCDP to Adobe Target for inclusion in your Target experiences.   Eg. we could share the customer's first name and show this on the site through Target.  For this use case though, no attributes are required so we can simply skip this step by clicking **Next. **

Review the activation details and click **Finish **to connect your audience with Adobe Target.

3.  The mapping step only needs to be completed once, after that every segment will use the same set of  **mapping identifiers** to match customers between Adobe Experience Platform and your destination.  For Tiktok we use hashed email and phone number.  Click **Next **to proceed to the next step.

![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/9v73tllMjnAHrRVsn6KXK_image.png)

## Activate to Cloud Storage

Adobe Experience Platform supports a number of Cloud Storage Destinations.  This enables you to send audiences and their profile attributes to your internal (or external) systems, via CSV files for Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Data Landing Zone, Google Cloud Storage, and SFTP. For Amazon Kinesis and Azure Event Hubs destinations, data is streamed out of Experience Platform in JSON format.

In this module, you’ll configure such an activation by making use of an AWS S3 bucket.  We will use a shared S3 bucket for this `Lab` exercise. 

:::hint{type="info"}
AWS S3 destinations don't require any specific Identity Namespace to be shared.

You can also append additional profile attributes from the Real-time Customer Profile. 

**Export Type = Profile**
:::

Go to the Adobe Experience Platform.

1. Go to **Destinations**, then go to **Catalog**. You’ll then see the **Destinations Catalog**.
2. Click **Cloud Storage**, then click the **Activate Segments** button on the **Amazon S3** card.

![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/O-CG0DROr-H8wpjq8Bwxc_image.png)

3\.  Select the Destination `AWS - S3 - HOL RTCDP` that has been previously configured.

![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/Dca7lat6clkg6qFw3Ot-p_image.png)

4\.  Search for a segment you created in the last module and select it. 

5\.  Click **Next**.

![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/t-vSmeWM1MagHqBqlbCDJ_image.png)

Unlike the previous destinations, Amazon S3 is a batch based destination.  As such you need to create a schedule and specify a file name for your csv file.   You can choose to export the full segment on a daily basis or the incremental changes to the segment (entries and exits) with a higher frequency. 

1. Select **Create Schedule**.
2. Select **Export Incremental Files**
3. For this lab, change the **Frequency** to **3 hours.** 
4. Select a **Start** and **End Date** for the activation
5. Click **Create**
6. Optionally, you can update the file name as well but fine to leave this as default.
7. Click **Next.**

You can now select attributes for the export towards AWS S3.   AWS S3 is considered a **Profile Export Destination** which means you can share additional information about the profile with the destination, not just the identifiers.  

1. Click **Add new field** and ensure the field `_adobedemoamericas275.identification.ECID`is added. Optionally, you can add as many other fields as required.
2. Check the Deduplication key box next to `xdm: personalEmail.address`
3. Once you’ve added all fields, click **Next**.
