Groups let you organise contacts and send targeted campaigns. Instead of messaging everyone, reach exactly the right audience.
Creating a Static Group
A static group contains contacts you manually add or import into it.
- Go to Contacts → Groups
- Click Create Group
- Give it a descriptive name (e.g. "VIP Customers")
- Leave the type as Static
- Select contacts to add, then save
Creating a Smart Group
Smart groups automatically populate based on criteria you define. The contacts update dynamically — no manual management needed.
- Go to Contacts → Groups and click Create Group
- Set the type to Smart
- Configure your filter criteria:
- Birthday Today — contacts whose birthday matches today's date
- Birthday This Week — contacts with birthdays in the next 7 days
- Birthday Month — all contacts born in a specific month
- Has Email — only contacts with an email address
- Has Birthday — only contacts with a birthday on file
- Custom Field — match a specific custom field value (e.g. membership = "GOLD")
- Save the group
Using Groups in Campaigns
When creating a campaign, recurring campaign, or sending a message to a group, simply select the target group from the dropdown. Only contacts matching that group will receive your message.
