Fortunately, I obtained a message from somebody who says they’re an engineer at Meta (you possibly can by no means make sure, however they appear to take a look at):
I needed to make clear one thing from this publish about how we deal with overlaps in viewers. If there’s an overlap, such {that a} person will match into each the ‘Engaged’ and ‘Current’ class, we’ll prioritize the affiliation that’s lowest within the funnel (i.e ‘Current’).
In different phrases, you don’t must exclude present prospects when creating the Engaged Viewers. Go forward and outline it based mostly on e-mail subscribers and web site guests. For those who’ve outlined Current Clients totally, they’ll be pulled out when there’s overlap.
