Segments Overview
Last updated Sep 16th, 2024
Overview
Segments are cohorts, or subsets, of Contacts and Organizations that you can monitor and engage. You can manage tasks related to Segment Contacts, and message Contacts, sync them with Salesforce, add them to Outreach sequences, and more.
Segments can also be used as filters across other views, such as Reporting, and to quickly identify organizations where Contacts in your Segments are working.
Segments Page
The Segments page organizes all of your Segments and allows you to quickly switch between my Segments, Contact Segments, and Organization Segments.
- My Segments contains all Segments that you've created. You can quickly see recent Activity for your Segments, and manage multiple actions by hovering over the Segment.
- Contact Segments contains all Contact Segments created by you or your teammates.
- Organization Segments contains all Organization Segments created by you or your teammates.
A blue checkmark to next to a segment's name denotes that it is a Team segment.
Preview Segment details
When viewing your list of Segments, you can preview key information about each Segment by hovering over the Segment card. You can view:
- Segment details like who created it and when, how many auto-add/remove rules have been set, and how many Contacts or organizations are in the Segment.
- An Activity log that provides a summary of the most recent activity within your Segment. Click on the activity log to quickly open the full activity page for a Segment.
