How to segment contact list

With Flowio, we allow you to quickly categorize your customers based on their interaction on your website by using the segmentation feature in the app. We offer many different filters that allow you to be more flexible with your segments and target your customers at the exactly right time

You can create your Contact segments based on the following factors:

  • Customer information

  • Customer behaviors

Let's look into each of these categories in greater detail

Segments by Customer Information

You can segment your contact by their activities on your website, activities with your email/ SMS automation flows, Lead score, Propensity to Buy and contain multiple options:
