Creating a New Dynamic Segment
To create a new dynamic segment, follow these steps:
Navigate to Contacts -> Dynamic Segments.
Click the + New dynamic segment button in the upper-right corner.
Enter the following:
Group Name: Specify the name of the segment.
Description (optional): Add a description to help identify the segment.
4. In the Segment 1 section, select the conditions that contacts must meet:
Choose whether contacts must meet all or any of the specified conditions.
Configure the criteria:
Data Type: Select the type of data you want to segment by:
Custom Fields: These are data directly assigned to a contact's profile, which you store in EmailLabs. They can be standard fields (e.g., email address, name, city, tags assigned to the contact) or your own custom-defined fields with additional information (e.g., customer status, last purchase date, preferences – if previously imported or sent via API).
Visits: These relate to contacts' activity on your website, such as visited subpages or viewed products. To use this type of data, prior integration of a website activity tracking mechanism (web tracking) with EmailLabs is necessary.
Events: These represent specific occurrences or contact interactions. They can be:
EmailLabs System Events: Automatically recorded events related to your campaigns sent from EmailLabs, e.g., email open, link click.
Custom Events (sent via API): Any other events you send to EmailLabs from your external systems (e.g., CRM, e-commerce, loyalty system) using the API. These could be, for example, a purchase made, an abandoned cart, an application login, or achieving a specific status in a loyalty program.
Operator: Select the comparison method (e.g., Equals, Contains, Starts with, Is greater than, etc.), which depends on the chosen data type.
Value: Specify the value to which the contact's data will be compared.
Add a sub-segment (if required): You can nest conditions by creating sub-segments with their own logic (and / or) for more advanced segmentation.
Optionally, add another segment to include additional criteria.
6. Once all criteria are configured, click the Create button to save the dynamic segment.
