Creating real-time segments

Use our real-time loyalty engine to further customize your loyalty program experience by providing members with custom activities and rewards based on where and when they register in real-time.

You can segment on member custom data by creating custom attributes.

Operations on both profile based and member custom data attributes will depend on the data type of the attribute.

  • For profile attributes, the data type is set internally based on the attribute.

  • For member custom data, the data type is determined by Control center selections in the self service tool for the custom data.

Real-time segments can be linked to:

The following permissions are required for Control Center users to create real-time segments:

  • Write permissions for Segmentation

  • Read permissions (or greater) for Limits

Warning: Currently there is no edit functionality offered with real-time segments. Once a segment is created it cannot be changed.

Note: You are allowed a maximum of 10 real-time segments. Only active (enabled) segments count against the limit. Contact your account representative to purchase additional segments.

  1. In Control Center, navigate to Data > Segmentation.
