Segments

An audience. A segment is a filter over your contacts, a list of contacts added by hand, or both — and it is what a broadcast is sent to.

The filter

A filter is a tree of all, any and not groups over conditions. A condition is either { field, op, value } or { topic, subscription }. Groups nest three deep and a filter holds at most twenty conditions.

{
  "any": [
    {
      "all": [
        {
          "field": "properties.plan",
          "op": "eq",
          "value": "trial"
        },
        {
          "field": "created_at",
          "op": "gte",
          "value": "2026-09-01T00:00:00Z"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "topic": "b6d24b8e-af0b-4c3c-be0c-359bbd97381e",
      "subscription": "opt_in"
    }
  ]
}

Filter fields and the operators each accepts
Field	Type	Operators
`email`	string	`eq`, `neq`, `contains`, `in`
`first_name`	string	`eq`, `neq`, `contains`, `exists`, `in`
`last_name`	string	`eq`, `neq`, `contains`, `exists`, `in`
`unsubscribed`	boolean	`eq`
`created_at`	date	`gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`
`properties.<key>`	the property's type	Strings as `first_name`; numbers `eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `in`, `exists`

The filter is checked when the segment is created: a property that is not declared, or an operator that does not suit its type, is 422 validation_error with one entry in errors[] per condition.
A filter is never changed. Rename a segment freely; for a different audience, create a new one, so a sent broadcast's report keeps naming the audience it went to.

Membership

A contact is in a segment if the filter matches it or it was added explicitly. Membership is evaluated when it is read and when a broadcast is sent — never stored — so a contact who starts matching is in from that moment, and one who stops matching is out, unless they were added by hand. Deleted contacts are never members.

Endpoints

POST /segments

Name an audience, optionally defined by a filter over your contacts.

The filter is checked against your contact properties when the segment is created: an undeclared property, or an operator that does not suit its type, is 422 validation_error with one errors[] entry per condition.
Membership is evaluated when it is read and when a broadcast is sent, never stored — a contact that starts matching is in the segment from that moment.

GET /segments

Every live segment, newest first.

A filter in the body is 422 invalid_parameter rather than silently dropped. A different audience is a new segment, so that a sent broadcast's report keeps naming the audience it went to.
