Audience

Managing contact fields:

Groups vs segments

Groups:

All of the contacts in your account are collectively referred to as your "audience". To help keep your contacts organized you can create groups, for example, donors and volunteers, or customers, prospects, and partners. They can also be used to organize contacts by geography, gender, customer type, or subscription preferences.

Segments:

Segments are created based on data stored in your account. This includes:

You can't add contacts to a segment the same way that you can add them to a group. Instead, people automatically become members of a segment when their subscription data or personal details match the segment criteria. Likewise, when a contact's data no longer matches the segment criteria, they are no longer included in that segment.
