About uploading segments
You can upload segments to the LiveRamp SFTP server without an API call. For more information, see Getting Your Data Into LiveRamp.
Confirm your customer’s segment has been processed
Use the Segment Lookup call to determine whether the file has been processed. If the file has been processed, the call returns a segment ID which is used when distributing that segment to a particular destination account.
For the field_name parameter, use the column heading from row O (the segment name) exactly as it appears in the file. For the value_name parameter, enter 1.
Updated segments
If your customer updates the data for an existing segment, a new file with the updated data should be uploaded to our SFTP server. The column heading in Column O in the new file must match the column heading in Column O in the original file so that the identifiers correctly fall under the right segment. If the column heading in Column O is different from the original file, the new file will create a new segment.
