When creating different segments with specific conditions and rules, you will gain valuable insights into your overall pool of customers and their behavior. This allows you to plan more efficient, data-driven marketing strategies that improve overall performance.

How to Create Segments

Creating a new segment is simple. Begin by identifying the criteria you want to target from your wide customer base. For instance, you can create a segment for female customers who have been active within the past 30 days and frequently visit a specific product category. Once these rules are configured, Gameball will automatically identify any customer who meets the criteria and add them to the segment.

How to Use the Segmentation Rule Engine

You can create a segment using a single or multiple conditions. Begin by creating the first rule.

Choosing “Customer Attribute”

When selecting Customer Attribute, choose the customer profile data that will determine segment membership.
Customer attribute selection
Available attributes include:
CategoryAttributes
Customer InfoCustomer Email, Mobile Number, Gender, Date Of Birth, Customer Creation Date, Customer Join Date, Is Guest Customer, Is Referred, Country, City, Zip Code
EngagementScore, Points, Tier, Channel, Merchant, Branch, Last Login Date
Order DataTotal Orders Count, Total Amount Spent, Last Order Date, Average Order Value

RedemptionTotal Redeemed Amount, Total Redemptions, Last Redemption Date, Last Coupon Usage, Last Gameball Coupon Usage
ReferralTotal Referrals, Last Referral Date
CommunicationLast Message Sent Date, Last Email Sent Date
UTM TrackingUTM Campaign, UTM Source, UTM Medium, UTM Content, UTM Term
Device InfoDevice, Browser, Operating System
Product DataProduct ID, SKU, Category, Collection, Product Title, Quantity Purchased (per product), Price (per line item)
SpendingTotal Spent, Orders Count
After choosing the attribute, define its metadata values accordingly.
  1. “Total captured orders” is calculated via Gameball, which counts the number of orders sent via the Order API. However, the “total amount spent” relies on you sending the total orders of every customer via the API from your side. Therefore, choose the correct attribute based on whether you need the source of data from your side or data counted by Gameball.
  2. All attributes that are automatically calculated and maintained by Gameball are visually prefixed with “Gameball” so you can recognize them amongst your custom attributes sent through API.

Choosing “Customer Event”

Events represent actions customers perform on your platform. To create an event-based segment rule:
  1. Select the relevant Customer Event.
  2. Define the event metadata. Example: If the event is “viewing a product,” you can filter it to include customers who viewed a product in the Accessories category at least three times.
You can also:
  • Click Add Event Filter to add more metadata filters to a single event.
  • Click Add Condition to include multiple conditions under the same rule.

Choosing “Order”

You can create customer segments based on actual order data, providing more accurate, real-time customer targeting. Order data includes:
  • Count
  • First Occurrence
  • Last Occurrence
  • Total Order Value (excluding fully refunded orders)
  • Order Date Range
  • Average Order Value
  • Specific Order Value Ranges
Fully refunded orders are excluded by default from the calculations.

Common Questions

Yes. You can combine both customer profile attributes and behavior-based events in one segment. For example, you can create a segment that includes:
  • Female customers
  • Under 50 years old
  • Recently active on your platform
  • Made at least one purchase or added an item to the cart within the past month
This allows for precise targeting using detailed, multi-criteria rules.
After adding the first rule:
  1. Click Add Rule.
  2. Choose the correlation type between rules:
    • AND: Customers must meet all rules.
    • OR: Customers must meet at least one rule.
  3. Repeat the rule setup process for each additional rule.

Advanced FiltersA Filter option is available in the Segments table header, allowing you to refine your segment list using:
