Segmentation is the process of choosing the contacts to whom you want to send an email. You can create a segment for individual contacts, specific imports, based on results, based on specific contact details and more.

Before sending your email communication, it is best practice to send a test to all the invested parties. Sensorpro offers a segment type called a "Seed List" which allows you to quickly create a list which can be used for testing.

Navigate to the segment list. Click the "Add New" button and you will be presented with the segment options.

Once you determine which subject line was most successful, that subject line should be used to email the remaining contacts in the database.

Split segments have some special properties:
