## Inputs

| Field                | Type             | Required | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `account`            | DynamicAccount   | Yes      | -       | LinkedIn Ads account to save the audience template in. LinkedIn fixes this at creation, so a template cannot be moved between accounts later.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `name`               | string           | Yes      | -       | Name for the saved audience, up to 100 characters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `targeting_criteria` | object or string | Yes      | -       | LinkedIn targetingCriteria object describing the audience, as a dict or JSON string, for example \{'include': \{'and': \[\{'or': \{'urn:li:adTargetingFacet:locations': \['urn:li:geo:103644278']}}]}}. Use linkedin\_ads\_search\_targeting to look up real URNs and do not invent them. LinkedIn requires locations, and in practice also interfaceLocales, before it will answer. |
| `description`        | string           | No       | -       | Optional description of who this audience is, up to 500 characters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
