With the SmartSender.io, you can use the Contact List and contact information to target and filter contacts into segments. Our segmentation options are extensive, so you can choose a single condition or combine up to several conditions with positive and negative relationships to target the right contacts for each campaign. In this article, you’ll find all the available segmentation criteria.
There are two types of variables, which can be used in the Contact List on the SmartSender.io platform.
IMPORTANT
Use only Latin ‘lowerCamelCase‘ format for your variables in the Contact List. Numbers or other symbols are NOT allowed.
Parameters | Description |
string variable | ENUM_STRING – variable value is text type. No specific format required |
date variable | ENUM_DATE – variable value is date type. Required format ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ |
