Say you have a site where you've configured several custom remarketing tag
parameters to capture the following attributes of users:
event - The category of
page on your site, such as checkout, cart, etc.
cartsize - The number of items in a user's shopping cart.
checkoutdate - The date on which a user checked out. You only set this
parameter when a user has actually completed a purchase.
You're interested in showing more impressions to users who have placed multiple
items in their shopping carts and initiated the checkout process. You also want
to find users who have made a purchase during November and December because you
plan to have a big sale on your site during those months.
You can describe this set of users with either of the following rules:
Users who visited the checkout page and had more than one item in their
cart.
Users who checked out during the months of November or December.
If a user falls into either category 1 or category 2, you want to increase your
bids in specific ad groups or campaigns by 25%.

Take a look at the structure of a rule-based user list. A rule-based list is
represented in the Google Ads API as a
rule_based_user_list.
The following diagram shows what the
rule_based_user_list for this
use case will look like when we're done.
