Segmentation: identifiers
Segment users based on their identifiers (user ID, email, etc)
To create segments based on their identifiers, select Identifiers from the data categories dropdown list. Once you have added the relevant criteria outlined below, click Save.
Targeting a large number of users?
For all the available identifiers, the segmentation engine allows targeting several devices or profiles by using the condition one of and providing a list of identifiers (for example, a list of 5 user IDs). If you want to target a long list of recipients, it is recommended to use a user list instead of the one of condition, for best results.
The types of identifiers available are:
User ID
Identify users based on their user ID (unique external identifier that allows to link profiles and devices).
There are several comparison operator choices available (Equals, Not equals, One of, Not one of, Is set and Is not set) and an input field for you to enter a user ID or a list of them, separated by commas.
The example above shows a condition that applies to user profiles whose user ID is '12345678'.
Email
Identify users based on their email address.
There are several comparison operator choices available (Equals, Not equals, One of, Not one of, Is set, Is not set, Domain equals and Domain not equals) and an input field for you to enter a domain, an email address, or a list of them, separated by commas.
The example above shows a condition that applies to users whose email domain is equal to xtremepush.com. This is a typical use case to target employees in an organisation.
Mobile number
Identify users based on their mobile number.
A drop-down list comes with a selected operator (same operators available as for user ID), and an input field for you to enter a user's mobile number or a list of mobile numbers.
The example above shows a condition that applies to users whose mobile number is '447400123456' or '353850123456'. Review this guide to know what is the correct format for SMS sends.
