Select recipient segment
In Bitrix24, campaign recipients are called a segment. Segments are formed by common characteristics: age, place of residence, purchased goods, and so on.
Create customer segments for marketing campaigns
There are two types of segments:
- Dynamic is a list of recipients that is generated automatically before the campaign is launched.
- Static is a list of recipients that is created manually. You can upload a ready-made list of addresses or phone numbers of clients to Bitrix24.
Select segment. You can use standard segments or select previously created ones. Click Select recipient segment.
Create a segment. If there is no suitable segment, click Create and configure the recipient list.
Exclude segment. You can exclude customers from the main segment who don't need to receive the newsletter.
For example, you can send a promotion campaign to all customers, but exclude those who have already bought a product this month. To do this, click Exclusions and select which segment to exclude from the campaign. When you have added the exceptions, click Apply.
