Past-behavioural segments

Past behavioural segments are groups of customers or leads defined by their historical actions and interactions with a brand. This type of segmentation analyzes retrospective data like purchase history, website visits, email engagement, and customer service interactions over a period of time. It helps marketers understand established patterns, preferences, and inferred intent (e.g., "high-value customers," "inactive users," "discount seekers") for broader campaign planning and long-term personalization, differentiating it from real-time segmentation which focuses on immediate actions.

Past Behaviour Segmentats are defined with aggregated rules of past actions and inactions. The marketer can further filter on Customer Properties as well.
