The purpose of this application is to be used in integration with Amazon Pinpoint Campaigns and Journeys to add users to a Facebook Audience for Targeting purposes.

This sample include code that helps to run campaigns in Facebook by leveraging the Amazon Pinpoint campaigns. The code creates automatically the Facebook objects that are needed to run the campaign on the target audience imported by Amazon Pinpoint.

The Facebook objects (campaign, ad, adset and ad creative), are created as draft and can be finalised by an operator in order to update the key information and finally run the campaign.

The audience is imported by using EMAIL address as key information and, optionally, can incorporate additional fields (eg. phone number or mobile advertiser ID) to improve the targeting capability of the Facebook audience. Additionally, the sample can be extended to use more custom attributes from the endpoint to leverage demographic details of the users (eg. gender, country, date of birth or any other field supported by the custom audiences on Facebook)

The sample deploy the architecture as highlighed in the diagram above. The SQS queue is required by the application to keep the sequence on which the users are imported inside the Facebook custom audience (as Facebook require a sequenceId on their API).

The DynamoDB table contains the application details needed by subsequent Lambda invocations (eg. the audience Id or campaign Id created during the first import)

To get started and deploy the code in your AWS account please follow the current guides:

1. Install the dependencies:

   yarn install
   cd infra
   yarn install

2. Build the code and the assets

   yarn build:all

3. Configure an AWS Profile on your development machine to deploy this project (e.g.: my-deployment-profile)

4. Define application configuration by navigating to infra/config

   • Copy the default.yaml file to a new file eg. local-XXXXXXXXXXXX.yaml where XXXXXXXXXXXX is your AWS ACCOUNT ID
   • Replace the config settings to your own values. Mandatory changes to account and facebook configuration section

5. Bootstrap your CDK environment (if you haven't done it already)

   cd infra

   yarn bootstrap --profile my-deployment-profile

   where my-deployment-profile is the profile you've created on step 3 You are required to have the right access to your AWS account to perform this action

6. Deploy the infra code in your AWS Account

   cd infra

   In case you aren't in this folder already

   yarn dev:deploy:all --profile my-deployment-profile

   where my-deployment-profile is the profile you've created on step 3 You are required to have the right access to your AWS account to perform this action.

Now that the custom AWS Lambdas have been deployed you can configure your Amazon Pinpoint campaign to use the custom channel. Navigate to the Amazon Pinpoint custom channel documentation for a step-by-step guide on how to use it.

The application is developed using AWS Cloud Development Kit and needs the following pre-requirements:

• Nodejs v16 or above (tested with v16.15.0)
