Once your conditions are added, the CRM will create a segment consisting of contacts and visitors that fulfill the conditions. To understand the difference between visitors and contacts, please refer to this article.


  1. Click  to make the segment live. The contacts which satisfy the conditions provided will get segmented.

Note: 
*This is applicable only for accounts that have the Shopify or WooCommerce integration enabled.  Segmentation based on Shopify or WooCommerce events are available across all plans for Freshmarketer & Freshsales Suite.


All segments that are created can be viewed on the Segments dashboard. You can edit or delete a segment by clicking the button.

 
Using segments while creating a campaign:

Choose segments while creating an email campaign. Click the recipients dropdown and choose a segment of your choice. Multiple lists and segments can be chosen as recipients.

Personalize a campaign based on the segments: 

The campaigns can be sent in a personalized manner for each contact segment. Click the Personalize For dropdown in the DESIGN section of your campaign and select campaigns to make specific changes. The contacts on the segment will receive the personalized email you’ve created. 


Using segments in Journeys:

 

Added to a Segment - Include a segment into your journey by choosing from the list of available segments. 

Is in Segment - This condition can be used to check if the incoming contacts on the block are part of the chosen segment or not.

Choose a segment from the dropdown. The incoming contacts into the condition block will be checked if they are part of the chosen segment.


Note: 
The bulk upload of contacts may take a little while to get reflected inside the Segments module. This is based on the uploaded file size.
