Segments

Segments are dynamic groups of contacts that automatically update as contacts match or stop matching your defined filter criteria.

Overview

Navigate to Email Marketing > Segments to manage your segments.

Segments are useful for:

  • Targeting specific audiences in broadcasts
  • Filtering contacts for email flows
  • Analyzing engagement by audience groups
  • Building personalized outreach strategies

Creating a Segment

  1. Click Create Segment
  2. Configure the segment:
FieldRequiredDescription
NameYesSegment name (e.g., "High-value leads in São Paulo")

Filter RulesYesConditions that contacts must match

Filter Rules

Filter rules use a JSON-based rule engine with an operator (and / or) and a list of conditions.

Operators

Example Filter

Contacts who are CTOs at companies in São Paulo and have opened at least one email:

json
{
  "operator": "and",
  "rules": [
    { "field": "title", "operator": "contains", "value": "CTO" },
    { "field": "location", "operator": "contains", "value": "São Paulo" },
    { "field": "email_engagement", "operator": "score_above", "value": 0 }
  ]
}

Contact Count

Each segment shows a contact count - the number of contacts currently matching the rules. This count is refreshed periodically and on-demand when you view the segment.

Using Segments

In Broadcasts

When creating a broadcast, select a segment as the target audience. Only contacts matching the segment rules at send time will receive the email.

In Analytics

Filter email analytics by segment to compare engagement across different audience groups.

Best Practices

  • Name segments clearly - Use descriptive names that indicate the criteria
  • Keep rules focused - Don't over-complicate with too many conditions
  • Review periodically - Segments with zero contacts may need updated rules
  • Combine with tags - Use tags for manual categorization, segments for automatic grouping
