For first-party audience lists, each audience is listed as a pair of FirstPartyAndPartnerAudience.firstPartyAndPartnerAudienceId and recency setting. A pair is (1;1d;), where 1d is a sample recency representing 1 day recency. Recency is not available for third-party audiences, so the list format is (3;);(4;);. To "AND" and "OR" groups of audiences, follow this example: To combine pairs with and without recency: '((1;1d;);(2;365d;));((3;);(4;5m;);(5;all;));'. This means (list 1 with 1 day recency OR list 2 with 365day recency ) AND (list 3 without a specified recency OR list 4 with 5 minute recency OR list 5 with all users).
Each audience is listed as a pair of FirstPartyAndPartnerAudience.firstPartyAndPartnerAudienceId and recency setting, if the audience list is a 1P audience list. A pair is (1;1d;), where 1d is a sample recency representing 1 day recency. However, for 3P audiences, recency is not available, so the list format is (3;);(4;);.
List format = ((FirstPartyAndPartnerAudience.firstPartyAndPartnerAudienceId; recency optional;); (FirstPartyAndPartnerAudience.firstPartyAndPartnerAudienceId; recency optional;);)Example: "(1;1d;);(2;);".
