> Create a LinkedIn saved audience template from targetingCriteria - audience attributes (locations, titles, functions) and/or matched-audience segments.

Create a LinkedIn saved audience template from targetingCriteria - audience attributes (locations, titles, functions) and/or matched-audience segments.

<Info>
  Tool ID: `linkedin_ads_audiences_create_audience_template`
</Info>

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for a single call. Put `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play when the call should be durable, scheduled, or run across a CSV.

```ts theme={null}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'linkedin_ads_audiences_create_audience_template',
  {
    "name": "Example",
    "targeting_criteria": {}
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={null}
deepline tools execute linkedin_ads_audiences_create_audience_template --input '{
  "name": "Example",
  "targeting_criteria": {}
}' --json
```

## Example response

The SDK exposes this shape at `result.toolResponse.raw`. Values below are representative.

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "template": {
      "id": "id_123",
      "name": "Example",
      "description": "Example description",
      "account": "example",
      "approximate_member_count": 1,
      "created_time": 1,
      "last_modified_time": 1,
      "targeting_criteria": {}
    }
  }
}
```

Use `deepline tools get linkedin_ads_audiences_create_audience_template --json` for the latest machine-readable contract.
