The segments to create first, configured step by step
Each recipe starts from a business goal and gives the exact configuration to reproduce in your back office: the event, the period, the threshold, the filters, and the mechanic to connect the segment to. Create them as they are, then adjust the values to your program.
Where to start
There is no limit to the number of segments you can create. This guide offers fourteen, plus four ready-to-use templates: read it as a catalog to choose from, not as a list to create all in one go.
If you are starting from scratch, these five segments cover most of the value and leave no key moment of the lifecycle unanswered.
Top customers — your best customers, to be treated as such. Recipe 1 below.
New sign-ups this week — the moment when a member is most receptive. Recipe 13.
Dormant Points — points earned and never spent: the most profitable reactivation lever, and available as a ready-to-use template. See the section on inactivity segments.
Engaged customers — the ones who carry your premium missions. Recipe 4.
Customers who have just lost their status — a short retention window, not to be missed. Recipe 9.
Then add what is specific to your business: a market, a city, a product, a type of content. Create those segments as your campaigns come up rather than in advance — a segment born from a real need is always better tuned than a segment created “just to see”.
💡 Use the Calculate button in the Segment preview section before saving each segment. If the volume looks too low, it is almost always a threshold value to relax, not a rule to remove — a segment that returns only two or three customers will not carry any campaign.
Segmenting by customer value
1. Top customers
Goal — identify your best customers so you can reserve exclusive benefits for them.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD All time, THRESHOLD Number of orders / Is greater than / 3
AND — Condition 2 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD All time, THRESHOLD Total amount / Is greater than / 300
Result — customers who have placed more than 3 orders and spent more than €300 in total. Connect it to a “members-only benefits” push notification and to the most rewarding missions in your program.
2. High average order values
Goal — spot customers with a high value per order, even if they order rarely.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD Last 365 days, THRESHOLD Average amount / Is greater than / 150
Result — customers whose average order exceeds €150 over the year. A recipe that only the threshold makes possible: the Average amount metric does not exist as a filter.
3. Discount-sensitive customers
Goal — exclude them from a full-price campaign, or on the contrary target them during the sales.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD Last 365 days, THRESHOLD Total discounts / Is greater than / 100
Result — customers who have accumulated more than €100 in discounts over the year. Useful for deciding where you place your margin.
Segmenting by engagement in the program
4. Engaged customers
Goal — focus your premium missions on your most active customers.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed missions, PERIOD All time, THRESHOLD Number of missions / Is greater than or equal to / 5
Result — customers who have completed at least 5 missions. Connect it to premium missions: video reviews, unboxing, exclusive content.
5. Customers who leave reviews
Goal — step up those who have already left a review.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed missions, PERIOD All time, FILTERS Mission type = the type matching reviews
Result — customers who have completed a review mission. Connect it to an automation triggered on entry into the segment, which sends an invitation to the “video review” mission.
6. Content ambassadors
Goal — feed your content with reusable photos and videos.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed missions, PERIOD Last 365 days, FILTERS Mission type = the type matching photo and video content
Result — customers who have produced content over the year. Connect it to your most demanding content-creation missions.
7. Active referrers
Goal — reward those who actually bring in customers.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Referrals (referrer), PERIOD All time, THRESHOLD Number of referrals / Is greater than or equal to / 2
Result — customers who have referred at least 2 people.
Segmenting by status
8. Silver and Gold tiers
Goal — communicate differently depending on VIP status.
Condition 1 — Profile, FILTERS Tier = Silver, Gold
Result — all the customers in these two tiers. Connect it to a preview push notification. This is the simplest recipe in the guide: one condition, one filter.
9. Customers who have just lost their status
Goal — win a customer back at the moment they lose their tier, while they are still sensitive to it.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Tier downgraded, PERIOD Last 30 days, THRESHOLD Tiers downgraded / Is greater than or equal to / 1
Result — customers downgraded in the last 30 days. Connect it to a retention automation. To target a specific drop — from Gold to Silver, for example — add the Previous tier and New tier filters.
Segmenting by geography and by product
10. Customers in a city
Goal — drive footfall to a physical store.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD All time, FILTERS Shipping city = Lyon
Result — customers shipped to Lyon. Connect it to a “discover our new store” push notification.
11. Customers in a market
Goal — adapt your campaigns country by country on a multi-market program.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD All time, FILTERS Shipping country = Spain
Result — customers shipped to Spain. Can be crossed with the Language filter of the Profile condition to communicate in the right language.
12. Buyers of a product
Goal — follow up with the buyers of a specific item, for a repeat purchase or a review.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Completed orders, PERIOD Last 365 days, FILTERS Products = the product you are targeting
Result — customers who bought this product over the year. Connect it to a review mission on this product, or to a repeat-purchase push at the point when the product is used up.
Segmenting new customers
13. New sign-ups this week
Goal — welcome the new members of the program.
Condition 1 — Profile, FILTERS Customer creation window (days) = 7
Result — customers who signed up in the last 7 days. Connect it to a welcome automation and to the simplest missions in your program.
14. High-value referees
Goal — identify the referees worth the most, so you can adjust your referral offer.
Condition 1 — Behavior, BASED ON Referrals (referee), PERIOD All time, THRESHOLD Referee order amount / Is greater than / 50
Result — customers who arrived through a referral and ordered more than €50.
Inactivity segments: start from a template
Some segments are based not on what the customer has done, but on what they have not done: points earned and never spent, a sign-up without a single purchase, a referral that has stopped. These are the trickiest to build by hand — and they are precisely the ones the templates cover. Four of the six templates in the Segment library are dedicated to them.
Template to use | What it targets and what to connect it to |
Dormant Points | Customers who have earned points without using them. Connect it to a push notification that reminds them of the value sitting in their account. |
Members Never Redeemed | Customers who have signed up but never used their points. Connect it to an automation offering a first reward, often enough to trigger engagement. |
Inactive Program Members | Customers who have signed up without a single purchase or mission. Connect it to an activation campaign — or exclude them from your other campaigns. |
Sponsors to Reactivate | Customers who have already referred someone, but not recently. Connect it to a reminder notification. |
💡 These four templates are also the best way to learn: create one, then open its conditions to see how the builder expresses the absence of an event. You can then apply the same logic to your own inactivity segments.

A segment changes nothing in your customers' experience until you connect it to a mission, a push notification or an automation — see Activating a segment: missions, notifications and automations.
