Internal Information Questions in Dynamic Segments
We’re excited to announce a powerful enhancement that will enable segmentation based on internal information questions. You can now segment invitees based on responses to Internal Information questions—a flexible, behind-the-scenes data field used to store critical attendee details. This is part of our continued effort to expand how you can automatically segment invitees, further enhancing the ability to segment efficiently and at scale.
Internal Information is now available as a category when creating dynamic segments.
This category will automatically appear only if at least one Internal Information question has been created at the event or account level.
Both event-level and account-level Internal Information questions can be used as segmentation criteria.
Once released, the new category will be available across both new and existing events, with no extra setup required.
Internal information questions are not supported in manual segments.
