What it does

Before a computed marketing audience leaves your warehouse, this workflow inspects every row for the conditions ad platforms silently reject — null emails, malformed identifiers, opted-out contacts, and duplicate keys. Clean rows sync onward; failing rows land in a quarantine table with a reason code, and the team gets a summary in Slack.

When to use it

Use it whenever you publish a BigQuery segment to ad audiences and want to stop bad data from poisoning match rates or burning spend on invalid identifiers. Ideal as the guard step between your dbt models and your activation layer.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires after the nightly audience model finishes building.
  2. 2Query the candidate segment from BigQuery.
  3. 3A validation step splits rows into pass and fail buckets using null, format, consent, and dedupe rules.
  4. 4Failing rows are written back to a BigQuery quarantine table with reason codes.
  5. 5Passing rows are pushed to the ad destinations.
  6. 6A Slack message reports counts synced versus quarantined and the top failure reasons.
