Contacts
Segments
Group contacts dynamically using flexible filter rules.
Segments group contacts dynamically based on rules such as labels, custom fields, activity, or channel.
Segments power:
- The Segments tab under Contacts (list of all segments).
- The Leads board columns.
- The Segment filter in the All Contacts table.
Opening Segments
- Go to Contacts in the left sidebar.
- Click Segments.
You'll see a list of existing segments and a button to create a new one.
Creating a segment
- Click Create Segment.
- Define your segment:
- Give it a clear name (for example: "Recent Instagram Leads", "High LTV Customers").
- Use the segment builder to add conditions (filters). Each condition has a field, an operator, and a value.
- Choose how conditions combine: match all (AND) or any (OR) of the rules.
- Save the segment.
Available filter fields
Filter on built-in fields (name, email, phone, created date), any contact or conversation custom fields you've created, and labels.
Condition operators by field type
| Field type | Available operators |
|---|---|
| Text / Phone | Equals, Not Equals, Contains, Does Not Contain, Starts With, Ends With, Is Empty, Is Not Empty |
| Number | Equals, Not Equals, Greater Than, Greater Than or Equal, Less Than, Less Than or Equal |
| Date | Is, Is Not, Is After, Is Before, Is in Last 7 Days, Is Today, Is Yesterday, Is This Week, Is This Month, Is Last Month |
| Boolean | Is True, Is False |
| Select | Equals, Not Equals, Is Empty, Is Not Empty |
| Multi-select | Contains Any, Contains All, Does Not Contain Any, Does Not Contain All, Is Empty, Is Not Empty |
| Label | Has Label, Does Not Have Label, Has Any Label, Has No Labels |
Once saved, a segment:
- Appears in the Segments list.
- Becomes available in:
- The Segment dropdown on the All Contacts page.
- The segment selector in each column on the Leads board.
Applying segments
- In All Contacts:
- Select a segment to see only contacts that match its rules.
- A banner above the table shows which segment is active and how many contacts match.
- In Leads:
- Assign a segment to a column to see matching contacts as lead cards.
- Use multiple columns with different segments to compare or structure your pipeline.
Segments are dynamic — when contact data or conversations change, segment membership updates automatically based on the rules.
Editing or deleting segments
- From the Segments page:
- Open a segment to review its rules.
- Adjust filters to refine who's included.
- Delete a segment if you no longer need it.
- Changes to a segment automatically affect every place it's used (All Contacts filter, Leads columns).
Note: Deleting a segment does not delete contacts. It only removes the grouping rule.
