Segment and DC Filters
Custom Objects add new filters to Segments for each Custom Object you will create and for each Custom Field.
Contacts that will get to the segment will be those that have a Custom Item linked with the value in the file you are looking for. It looks only for Custom Items directly linked to the contact. Not for all children of the Custom Item. Yet.
In the example bellow we created a Custom Object called Products that has Custom Fields Color and SKU. The Name field exists for every Custom Object. The filters will allow you to add operators and values for each field based on the field type. For example for a select field it will allow you to include or exclude specific values from the select box. For a date field it will allow you to select a date in a date picker and for a text field it will allow you to type any value.
There is a special operator that can search within a collection of custom object names. It was specifically developed for customers who want to build segment filters on email domains and if they belong to a big list of domains.
Workflow:
- Create a custom object with no fields. Call it "Domain(s)".
- Import a list of domains e.g.
gmail.com,yahoo.com,seznam.cz - Create a new segment with filter based on the Email Domain field. Only this field has the special operator
within custom objects. Select the Domain Name custom object from the list. - After the segment is rebuild it should contain all contacts with the email domains listed in the "Domain" custom object.
Dynamic content filters work the same way as segment filters.
