Segments

In this section, you will learn how segmentation works in Open Loyalty. How to configure Member Segments according to your preferences, how to create new Segments, and assign Members to existing ones.
Segments are helpful in grouping Members based on their data, transactional data, or loyalty program behavior. Members are automatically added to the Segment if they are meet the conditions that are included in it. Thanks to Segments, we can automate the processes of loyalty program management and those related to personalizing loyalty offers, as well as facilitate marketing communication.
