PersonalizeWP offers powerful segmentation options to allow you to group users into different segments based on their data or behaviour. By using segmentation, you can target the right content to the right visitors based upon your understanding of what their needs are.
Form-based Segmentation
When a visitor submits a form on your site, their activity will be added to their Visitor Profile, showing the form completed and the date and time it occured.
Using this information you can group users into form-based segments so that all visitors completing or submitting different types of forms can be targeted directly.
For instance, you may wish to show users that have submitted a Sales Demo form different content to those that have submitted a Support form. If you create a segment for ‘Sales Demo’, then you can identify and serve different marketing to prospective leads than those that have already purchased your product and are looking for follow-up support.
Creating Form-Based Segments
You can access PersonalizeWP’s segmentation tools by going to WP-Admin > Personalize > Dashboard > Segmentation.
On this screen, you can view a paginated list of all segments currently active and inactive, including the type, reason and a count of all visitor profiles in each group.
Create Segment
Clicking on Create Segment takes you to the screen where you can create a new grouping. You enter a name for your segment and then choose Type > Submitted Form from the dropdown.
This will display a new input field where you can search for the form that you want to monitor. You can add as many forms as you wish by adding multiple items.
Click on the button to Create Segment and return to the list screen.
Using Form-Based Segments
You can choose a segment in the Personalize sidebar for any block that you can selected in the Block Editor.
Segments has it’s own dropdown, and you can select any of the segments that are active. In this instance, choose your form-based segment and choose the behaviour for that block (show/hide) if the visitor meets that criteria.
You can combine a segment with personalization rules and lead score values to create highly targeted content.
Segmentation Actions
Visitors are automatically added to segments when they meet the criteria. For instance, if you have a segment for ‘Submitted Sales Form’, then when a visitor completes that form, they will be added to that group immediately.
