Push Segments

Located in Push Notification, the Segments dashboard uses our real-time user segmentation engine to enable you to build groups of users in your apps based on user attributes to utilize when sending notifications.

reviewsPopular Use Case Powered by our real-time segmentation engine, Segments is a smart tool to use when building your messaging strategy for your players. Defining groups of users based on their gameplay can make a dramatically positive impact on in-game performance over time. Building user segments for users who retain on day 1, 3, 7 and 14 is a great sample strategy for re-engaging players through thier lifespan.
