Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for securely executing customized computing workflows for selecting digital components are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request for a digital component for presentation by a client device. In response to receiving the request, a pool of candidate digital components is retrieved from a repository of digital components, and each stage of a multi-stage workflow for selecting a digital component from the pool of digital components is executed in a sequence defined by the multi-stage workflow, including a filtering stage, a selection stage, and a rendering stage. After the rendering stage has been executed, a selected and packaged digital component is transmitted for receipt by the client device.

Secure workflows for generating and applying digital component distribution directives

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for receiving data including a user identifier associated with a user and one or more key-value pairs associated with the user's access of a resource. Each key-value pair includes a key and a value provided by the resource. Upon determining that the received data satisfies one or more rules associated with a user list comprising user identifiers, the user identifier is added to the user list.
