Introduction
The Audience Segmentation feature enables Restuarant Partners to create an audience by segmenting their guest list by one or more criteria related to guests' account history, order history, and/or loyalty activity. The resulting list can be used to create targeted marketing messages within the Admin Dashboard or be exported to be used on external marketing platforms.
Use case example
If you need to export a list of your loyalty members along with their current points, you can do so by creating an audience list with specific filters related to loyalty points. This process will allow you to generate a report that includes the name, email, and current loyalty points of each member.
