What it does
Create Bombora buyer intent audiences on the Metadata platform.
Creates B2B audiences based on buyer intent topics, company firmographics, contact attributes, and geographic targeting.
IMPORTANT PREREQUISITE:
Before using this tool, call get_intent_topics first to verify that Bombora topics are available.
If get_intent_topics returns NO topics (empty list), Bombora is NOT available for this account —
do NOT suggest or use this tool. Instead, recommend creating a firmographic audience
(create_firmographic_audience) as the preferred alternative.
Firmographic audiences are the default and most commonly used audience type.
WHEN TO USE:
- ONLY after get_intent_topics confirms that Bombora topics are available
- Create targeted B2B audiences based on buyer intent signals using Bombora data
- Target companies by industry, size, and employee count
- Target contacts by seniority level and job function
- Target specific buyer intent topics (e.g., Pardot, Salesforce)
- Set geographic targeting and contact limits per company
BUYER INTENT TOPICS:
Use the get_intent_topics tool to retrieve available intent topics before creating the audience.
Intent topics represent buyer interest areas such as:
- CRM solutions (e.g., Pardot, Salesforce)
- Marketing automation platforms
- Analytics and BI tools
- And many others based on available topics
TARGETING OPTIONS:
- Intent Topics: Use topic values from get_intent_topics (required for Bombora audience)
- Industries: Use industry IDs. Examples:
1=Defense & Space, 4=Computer Software, 6=Internet, 7=Semiconductors, 8=Telecommunications,
11=Management Consulting, 12=Biotechnology, 41=Banking, 42=Insurance, 43=Financial Services,
80=Marketing & Advertising, 96=Information Technology & Services
- Employees: "FROM_1_TO_10", "FROM_10_TO_50", "FROM_50_TO_200", "FROM_200_TO_500", "FROM_500_TO_1000", "FROM_1000_TO_5000", "FROM_5000_TO_10000", "OVER_10000"
- Job Function / Seniority / Job Title / Location: identical shape to the Firmographic + G2 tools (PRD-29704 — the old Bombora-specific names `function_ids` / `seniority_ids` / `countries` / `cities` were renamed to the canonical contact-criteria fields below so Max can transfer the same criteria across audience types).
CONTACTS CRITERIA:
Use the following parameters to filter and target specific contacts within accounts:
GEOGRAPHIC TARGETING:
- location_country_ids: Array of country IDs (e.g., [29] for Brazil, [229] for United States)

USAGE NOTES:
- All ID fields (countries, states, job functions, seniorities) use numeric IDs from the platform
- Job titles are free text strings, not IDs
- Use include parameters to specify which criteria to target
- Use exclude parameters to filter out contacts matching specific criteria
- Combine multiple criteria for precise targeting (e.g., Senior Engineers in California)
- Criteria are combined with AND logic, so all conditions must be met
