AND/OR connectors
AND connector
Use the AND connector between your conditions to make your segment more exclusive. When you use an AND connector, each condition must be met in order for the person to be included. If someone meets one condition but does not meet the other, they will be excluded from your segment.
Example:
In the example segment below, the customer must have placed at least 2 orders AND placed an order within the last 30 days. If someone has done only one of these actions, they will not be included in your segment. Only those who have done both actions will appear within this segment.
OR connector
Use the OR connector between your conditions to make your segment more inclusive. When you use an OR connector, the person must meet one of the joined conditions in order to be included. If someone meets one condition but does not meet the other, they will still be included in your segment.
Example:
In the example below, the customer must have opted into your loyalty program OR ordered a product at least once over all time. If someone has done neither or only one of these actions, they will not be included in your segment. However, anyone who has done at least one of the actions will appear in this segment.
