Permission
Crm → Segment

Note these screens sit under Marketing & Retention, which is in the Financials area of the menu, not under Contacts.

  1. Go to Marketing & Retention → Customer Segments and click New Segment.
  2. Type a Name and pick a Type:
    • Manual — a list you curate yourself
    • RFM — by how recently, how often and how much they buy
    • ABC Class — by value band
    • Custom Filter — see the warning below
  3. For RFM, set the RFM Recency (min), Frequency (min) and Monetary (min). For ABC, pick the Class.
  4. Leave it Active and save.
  5. For a manual segment, open the row menu, click Members, and add customers one by one.

RFM, ABC and Custom Filter segments refresh themselves every night. Manual ones stay exactly as you left them. The Last Refreshed column tells you when each was last worked out.

If you need customer messaging today, use the Broadcasts screens, which do work — but note they draw from their own separate contact lists. A customer segment cannot be targeted by a broadcast; the two address books never meet.

Permission
Crm → Survey
  1. Go to Marketing & Retention → Surveys / NPS and click New Survey.
  2. Type a Title, set the Status and an Expiry (days).
  3. Save.
  4. Open the row menu and click Invitations & responses to add invitations by customer.
