It’s really easy to build segments in Symplify but to do that you need to know the basics, so, here it is.

The segment editor consists of two main parts; Settings and Content.

Content

This is where you build and test the actual segment and where the true action is. More about that ahead.

Settings

Here you can name your segment and also tie your segment to permission groups if needed.

Create segments

Click on the + Add icon to find and add more conditions to your segment. In the drop-down, select the type of condition that you want to add.

You can build segments based on the following condition types:

• Audience
  to target contacts with a certain value in an attribute.
• Channel behavior
  to target contacts based on their behavior in a previous communication.
• Automation
  to target contacts that have (or not) touched any of your journeys.
• E-commerce
  to target contacts that have purchased something or visited your site (requires Purchase history and/or Web interaction integrations)
• Calculation
  to target contacts based on a calculation of your choice. Can either be on attributes or on transactions.

You can combine your new segment with other

• Segments
  when you want to add conditions to an already created segment (but not want to change the original).

And also add different types of

• Groupings
  when you want to group your conditions and the contacts should match for example any of them or at least two.

Set the criteria

Depending on the condition type, the settings for tuning your conditions will vary.

The example below shows a segment based on the condition Recipient attributes that match all contacts with either the value Berlin or Copenhagen in the recipient attribute City.

Save, test and publish

In the top right you'll see the buttons Test, Save, and Publish.

Testing your segment

Adopt the habit to always test your segments before publishing, regardless of how simple they are.

Publishing a segment

When you’re done editing you need to publish your segment to make it available for use. Simply click the Publish button.
