What is a Segment?
A Segment is a group of participants who gave the same answers to an Onboarding Poll or a Poll question during the Conversation.
To give you an idea, here are some examples of Segments:
- Women under the age of 65 who are responsible for making financial investment decisions in their household
- Men between the ages of 18 and 35 who are Twitter users
- Registered Democratic Voters
- People between the ages of 45 and 64 who selected poll option B on the poll question asking which packaging design was their favorite during the live conversation
Where are Segments Found?
You can create segments before, during and after a Conversation. You can analyze with Segments during and after a Conversation.
