A segment is a set of contacts grouped according to specific criteria that allow you to organize and personalize your marketing campaigns.

Using segments in Connectif allows you to target specific groups of contacts with relevant messages and offers, thereby improving the effectiveness of your campaigns.

 

1. Properties

In Connectif, there are three types of segments you can use depending on your needs:

  • Static Segment: A set of contacts that is manually defined in the segment itself or through workflows created for this purpose, and does not change unless updated manually. Ideal for fixed lists such as newsletter subscribers.
  • Dynamic Segment: A set of contacts that automatically updates based on the conditions specified at the time of its creation. Perfect for audiences that need to meet certain behaviors or attributes in real-time.
  • Dynamic Plus Segment: A more precise set of contacts, as it allows filtering not only by contact fields but also by activities and their metrics. Additionally, it has more operators and filtering options that allow you to personalize your campaigns and optimize results quickly and easily.
