Create Audience with PSID
The very first step of re-targeting is to set your target audience with your customer list. When a person interacts with a business via Messenger, an ID is created for the specific Page associated with the bot in Messenger, which is called Page-scoped ID. This means, for the same person, the IDs across different communication channels are different.
The following section would teach you how to create a custom audience or a lookalike audience with Page-Scoped ID (PSID).
