In this audience option, you can send campaigns for customers that already interacted with your channels and for customers that you have previously import into Sinch Engage. These customers can be found in the Customers page. In this page you can also create segmented audiences based on customer properties that you have defined. Check how to create audiences.

   1. If it's your first campaign click the Start a campaign button
   2. If it's not your first campaign you'll see your campaigns list. Click the Create button at the top right corner
2. Give your campaign a name
3. Choose Select from Customers in the option Define your audience

Channels are suggested considering those present in the audience you selected. For example: if your selected audience has customers from Telegram and WhatsApp and both of these channels are connected in you project, you'll be able select them to proceed with the campaign sending. 
   Important: Channels need to be connect in advance to be able to send a campaign on them (see how to create a channel configuration).
