Audience

A number of options are available when selecting audience conditions for an event. For better understanding of these options, we will explore different use-cases.

Raw Audience Condition

A raw audience condition is a customized audience condition. There may be a need to create this if the user cannot find the condition they need in the lists provided.

USE-CASE: Create a raw condition based on customer's nationality

Audience must be customers who are of Singaporean nationality.

Summary of Steps:

  1. From the Audience Criteria pop-up, click add raw condition.
  2. Select an attribute/aggregation to filter by.
  3. Set value of attribute/aggregation in condition.

From the Audience Criteria pop-up seen in the image below, click Add Raw Condition.

Add Raw Condition

A blank audience condition will appear, as seen in the image below. Click on Select attribute or aggregation to display a list of attributes or aggregations which the user can select from. Once an attribute or aggregate is selected, the user can specify its value.

Raw audience condition

The list displayed is seen in the image below. Select the country code attribute.

Selecting an attribute or aggregation

The selected attribute will be displayed, as seen in the image above. The user will then need to select the operator, which is 'equal to' in this example.

Selecting an operator

The operator will be displayed, as seen in the image above. Specify the code representing Singapore in the space provided after the operator. As a string is expected, add double quotes to the code "SGP" as shown in the image below.

Type in country code in double quotes

Condition Groups

Individual audience conditions can be combined using condition groups. For the condition group All of the following, a customer must satisfy all of the statements under the condition group to be qualified as part of the audience. For the condition group Any of the following, a customer can satisfy at least one of the statements under the condition group to be qualified as part of the audience.

USE-CASE: Using an "All of the following" Condition Group

For this example, the audience includes Married customers that have spent at least NT $1,000 in the last 1 month.

Summary of Steps:

  1. Add multiple conditions. By default, they fall under the All of the following condition group.
  2. Alternatively, click the ellipses (…) to add a condition within a condition group.

The condition group All of the following should be used. It is the default condition group, so simply check all conditions and specify their values, as seen in the 2 images below.

Select multiple conditions

Default condition group is All of the Following

Alternatively, the user can begin by adding one condition and clicking the ellipsis (…) button on the condition group, as seen in the image below. This allows the user to add another condition within that group, remove the condition group, or convert it to Any of the following.

Adding, removing or converting condition group

The added condition will automatically fall under the original condition group, which is All of the following.

USE-CASE: Using an "Any of the following" Condition Group

For this example, the audience should be customers who have spent at least NT $1,000 in the last month or have transacted 10-15 times within the last month.

Summary of Steps:

  1. Add a condition.
  2. Convert default condition group All of the following to Any of the following.
  3. Click ellipses (…) to add a condition within the condition group.

The condition group Any of the following should be used. Start by adding one condition as seen in the image below, which selects customers who have spent at least NT $1,000 in the last 1 month.

One audience condition added

Click the ellipses (…) button on the condition group, as seen in the image below. Select ANY to convert it to Any of the following.

Click ANY to convert condition group

Once converted, click the ellipses again as seen in the image below. Select Add another condition to add an individual condition to the condition group.

Converted condition group to Any of the following

The added condition can be seen in the image below. It will automatically fall under the original condition group, which is Any of the following.

Condition added to Any of the following condition group

USE-CASE: Using Nested Condition Groups

For this example, the audience should be customers who are Married & have spent at least NT $1,000 in the last month or have transacted 10-15 times in the last month.

Summary of Steps:

  1. Add multiple conditions. By default, they fall under the All of the following condition group.
  2. Click the ellipses (…) beside the group condition.
  3. Click ANY to convert to Any of the following condition group.
  4. Click the ellipses (…) on the new condition group to add a condition within the group.

A combination of condition groups must be used, which is called a nested condition group. The final conditions should be set up as seen in the image below. They can be read as "customers who are married AND have spent at least NT $1,000 in the last 1 month or have transacted 10-15 times in the last 1 month."

Set up nested condition groups

Recall the previous audience condition setup which included Married customers with at least $1,000 spent in the last 1 month. Set up those conditions. Click the ellipsis button beside an individual condition to see options that convert it into an ANY condition group or remove the individual condition, as seen in the image below. Alter the condition to ANY.

Set up a combination of condition groups

The resulting condition is shown in the image below. Use the ellipsis icon near the ANY condition to add a new condition. This is where we will add the condition on transaction count in the past month.

Condition type changed to ANY

Clicking the ellipsis button on the new condition group will show the options available, as seen in the image below. Flatten Group will undo the conversion, turning it back into an individual condition. Remove Condition will remove the whole condition group. Add Another Condition will add a condition to the condition group, select this option.

Adding the last condition to the ANY group

Nested condition groups

The added condition, as seen in the image above, will automatically fall under the Any of the following group due to the correct ellipsis option being used.

Live Segments

After setting up audience conditions, they can be saved for future use using a live segment. The customers in a live segment will be a changing set, based on the audience conditions.

USE-CASE: Saving Audience Conditions into a Live Segment

Static Segments

A static segment is a saved set of customers. It is different from a live segment in the sense that a live segment saves audience conditions, which are the basis of selecting customers as part of that segment. A static segment, on the other hand, saves specific customers. These specific customers can be chosen through the events step of configuration. Once a customer is saved in a static segment, they will always be part of that static segment until explicitly removed by the user, unlike with live segments.

USE-CASE: Saving a Static Segment using a event

Save customers who receive an event into a static segment. The event audience is customers who have transacted at least once with the merchant category A-04-004 (LinePay) in the last 3 months and have a customer status of Active. The trigger is when a single transaction of more than NT $500 in the LinePay category.

Summary of Steps:

  1. Set up the audience, trigger and event.
  2. In Events, check Add/remove the subscriber from static segments after sending the event.
  3. Select or create a static segment to add these customers into.

The set up is shown in the 3 images below.

Audience conditions

Trigger conditions

In the image below, the trigger configured is a single transaction of more than NT $500 in the LinePay category. This selection can be done quite easily through the tree selection criteria under the Mobile payment top category.

Event

When setting up the event, there is an option to Add/Remove the subscriber from static segments after sending the event. Checking this box will provide the option to add the customer to a segment and/or remove from the segment. Both these are required to be static segments. This feature allows the user to keep track of the customers that triggered an event separately, by adding them to a new segment. It also allows to keep track of all the customers who have not triggered an event yet, by removing them from the current segment. This is seen in the image below. This option is available for all the types of events.

Add or remove subscriber from static segment

One or more static segments can be used to add the subscribers to, as seen in the image below. In this example, we choose to add the subscribers to Active Customers. This is a segment created by selecting the Create a New Static Segment option. A Name and Description needs to be added to create a segment.

One or more static segments can be chosen to remove the subscribers, in the same way. In this example, we do not remove the subscribers from any static segment, as seen in the image below.

Add to a static segment
