Powerful Segmentation Features
Easily turn your customer database into useful groups with smart filters and AI. Save hours of manual work and make better marketing decisions.
Dynamic List Management
Create lists that update automatically as contacts change. When someone opens an email, submits a form, or moves to a new pipeline stage, they're added or removed from relevant segments in real time.
Advanced Filtering
Filter contacts by any CRM field - tags, pipeline stage, email open history, form submissions, last activity date, custom fields, and more. Combine multiple filters with AND/OR logic.
Real-Time Updates
Segments refresh automatically when contact data changes. No manual list maintenance - your segments always reflect the latest CRM data.
One-Click Targeting
Select any segment and send an email, SMS, or start a workflow - directly from the segment view. No need to export lists to another tool.

Agency Use Cases
Re-Engagement Campaign for Cold Leads (Marketing Agency)
Create a smart list of contacts who haven't opened an email in 60+ days. Send a 3-email re-engagement sequence: 'We miss you' → exclusive offer → 'Last chance before we remove you.' Contacts who re-engage get moved back to the active segment automatically. Contacts who don't are tagged 'unsubscribe candidate' to keep your list clean and deliverability high.
Upsell Segment for Existing Customers (SaaS Company)
Build a segment of customers on your Starter plan who have used 80%+ of their feature limits. These contacts are primed for an upgrade conversation. Trigger a workflow that sends a comparison email showing what they'd get on the Pro plan, followed by a personal outreach from their account manager. The segment updates daily as usage data changes.
Event Follow-Up by Engagement Level (Event Organizer)
After a webinar, segment attendees into three groups: attended the full session, left early, and registered but didn't attend. Send different follow-up sequences to each group — full attendees get the recording + next steps, early leavers get a 'sorry we missed you' email with highlights, and no-shows get the recording with an invitation to the next event. All managed from one workflow using segment-based branching.
