When your team first installed Springbot, we pulled in your customers’ data and created a few prebuilt Customer Segments that you can use right away.
Our Custom Segment builder includes several different criteria points for you to explore, and you can select as many as you'd like to a single segment -- the possibilities are endless! You'll also be able to directly target customers in these segments when sending out Email Campaigns and Newsletters.
Create a Custom Segment
First, select Reports at the top of your dashboard and then Segments. You'll then click on the Create Segment button in the top right corner.
Custom Segment Name
Here is where you will name your segment. Be sure to name your segment something that you can use to easily identify why you made this segment and what it is used for.
Criteria Options
Along this page you will see there are several different criteria options for you to choose from. You can combine as many different criteria options as you'd like, but keep in mind that as you continue adding in different criteria, the number of customer matches will begin to get smaller. Be careful to not over-segment as you may not end up with very many results!

FAQs
1) How long will it take for my segment to build?
Typically, it takes 5-15 minutes for Springbot to comb through your data and finalize a new segment (depending on how much store data you have). If it is taking an extra long time, contact the Springbot Customer Success Team at help@springbot.com so they can look into it!
2) I have created a segment. Now what?
Now you can not only view the full breakdown of this segment on the Customer Segments page (including high level metrics, demographic data and a sales trends graph) but you can also send an Email Campaign to this segment as well!
3) Can I upload a CSV file as a segment?
You sure can! Go to Reports and then click Segments. In the top right, you will click the button that says Upload Segment. This is a great please to upload a list that you already have segmented, or perhaps a collection of email addresses you gathered at a trade show or in-store event.
