Create a reusable audience

Combine customer attributes and behavior into a segment you can use across lifecycle actions.

Available when the workspace has the required customer data and channel setup; activation or sending requires publish permission.

Expected outcome

What you’ll achieve

  • A named, reusable audience whose inclusion, exclusion, consent, and current membership are understandable before use.
Step by step

Follow the workflow

  1. 1

    Open Data → Audiences

    Review existing audiences before creating another segment with overlapping logic.

  2. 2

    Name the business purpose

    Use a name that states who is included and why, such as “Recent first-time buyers” rather than “Segment 4.”

  3. 3

    Add inclusion rules

    Choose customer, order, product, consent, or event conditions supported by the connected data source.

  4. 4

    Add exclusions

    Exclude contacts who should not receive the action, such as unsubscribed customers or recent purchasers when inappropriate.

  5. 5

    Preview the audience

    Check the estimated count and sample contacts. Unexpectedly small or large results usually indicate a rule or connector mismatch.

  6. 6

    Save and reuse

    Save the audience, then select it in email, SMS, web push, workflow, or analysis tools where available.

Quality check

Verify your work

  • Sample members satisfy every inclusion rule
  • Unsubscribed, suppressed, or otherwise ineligible contacts are excluded for the intended channel
  • The saved audience can be selected in the intended message, workflow, or analysis editor
Troubleshooting

If something doesn’t look right

The count is zero

Test rules individually and confirm the selected connector contains the required fields or events.

The count is unexpectedly high

Inspect AND/OR grouping, date windows, missing exclusions, and workspace selection.

A known contact is absent

Open the contact to verify identity linkage, source data, consent, and recent events.

Scope

Limitations and safeguards

Limit

Audience membership can change as contacts, consent, events, products, and orders synchronize; recheck the live estimate before sending.
