Segments

Segments are dynamic groups of contacts that automatically update based on criteria you define. Unlike static lists, segments continuously evaluate your contacts and adjust membership as contact properties change.

Understanding Segments

Dynamic vs. Static Groups

  • Segments: Automatically update based on rules and conditions

  • Lists: Manually managed, static groups

Example: A segment for "Active Users" automatically adds contacts who opened emails in the last 30 days and removes those who haven't.

Why Use Segments?

Self-maintaining groups

  • No manual updates needed

  • Always current membership

  • Reduces human error

  • Saves time on list management
