Omnisend Agent: Segments

Use Omnisend Agent to create contact segments from plain-language prompts.

Written by Chaymae

Omnisend Agent helps you create contact segments from simple descriptions. It translates your prompts into segment filters, previews matching contacts, and lets you refine the results through chat or manually in the Segment Builder.


Before You Begin

  • Omnisend Agent for segments is available on all Omnisend plans.

  • Omnisend Agent uses the contact data available in your account.

  • Always review the generated filters before saving or using a segment.

Benefits

  • Save time: Describe your audience instead of building every filter manually.

  • Describe detailed audiences: Include contact attributes, actions, timeframes, and conditions in one prompt.

  • Refine segments conversationally: Ask Omnisend Agent to adjust the filters or clarify your request.

  • Keep control: Review and edit the generated rules manually before saving your segment.

Create a Segment with Omnisend Agent

Step 1: Open the Segment Builder

Go to Audience → Segments → Create segment.

Under Generate a custom segment with Omnisend Agent, enter a description of the audience you want to create.

For example: Subscribers who placed at least one order in the last three months with a value of over 500 EUR.

Click Generate Segment.

Step 2: Answer Clarification Questions (If Needed)

Omnisend Agent may ask a follow-up question when your prompt has more than one possible meaning or when further clarification is needed.

Answer the question in the chat to confirm your intended audience. Omnisend Agent then generates your segment.

Step 3: Review the Generated Segment

Review the suggested segment name, matching contacts, and generated filters. Check that the following match your intended audience:

  • Filters and subfilters: The correct contact attributes or events are selected.

  • Timeframes: The relevant dates or periods are applied.

  • Values and thresholds: The amounts, quantities, or frequency conditions are correct.

  • AND/OR logic: The filters are combined as intended.

If the segment matches your request, click Continue in Builder. If it does not, enter another prompt in the chat and ask Omnisend Agent to adjust the suggested segment.

Step 4: Edit the Segment in the Builder

Review the generated filters in the Segment Builder. You can manually change filters, values, timeframes, etc.

If you want Omnisend Agent to make additional changes, click Back to Agent chat. Describe what you want to change, then review the updated segment.

Step 5: Save the Segment

When the filters are correct, refresh the contacts if needed. Review the contact count, then click Save Segment.

Tips for Writing Segment Prompts

Write prompts that describe one clear audience goal. Include the details Omnisend Agent needs to build accurate filters.

A useful prompt includes:

  • Audience: Who you want to target.

  • Events or actions: What contacts did, or what they have in common.

  • Timeframe: When the action occurred.

  • Value or frequency: A purchase amount, number of actions, or other threshold.

  • Additional conditions: Any extra rules the audience must meet.
