Deploy a Test Campaign with Segmentation

Using segmentation rules is an ideal way to perform campaign testing. Although test functions exist in the platform, several features can only be tested when a list is deployed as a campaign.  These features include non-anonymous polls, Display Message, and the Forward-To-A-Friend (FTAF) feature. To test these features we recommend creating a segmentation rule to deploy your list to just you or a small group of people who will test the message.

To create a test rule, follow the steps for creating a Standard Segmentation Rule, and set the following conditions:

• Condition Type: OR

• Field: Email Address

• Operator: =

• Value: your email address (i.e.: mymail@mycompany.com)

You can also limit the segment to several specific addresses by making the Field Name, Comparison Operator, and Value for several addresses.

To create a rule that matches anyone with your company's domain, set the following conditions:

• Condition Type: OR

• Field: Email Address

• Operator: Like

• Value: your company's email domain preceded by % (i.e.: %mycompany.com)

Note:    If you are creating a Segmentation Rule with more than one email address, be sure to select OR as the Condition Type.
