Create a firebase audience for newer users

Question

I am trying to create a new audience in Firebase analytics which includes "new" users, for example users that have been using the app less than two weeks.

I have tried to create an audience based on "first_open_date" being ">" or "greater than" but when I get to the date field, it has to be an actual date rather than a relative date.

Why is this so difficult? It seems that everyone would want to have an audience of new users that they could target. And yet...

Answer 1

After a Firebase Update on October 29 2018 it is now possible to limit the amount of days, the users stick to an audience. (Check relase notes here)

That means you can create an audience of people who triggered the sign_up or register event and set the membership duration to e.g. 14 days. There you have your "newer users" audiences.
