Segments are similar to contact lists, except they update dynamically over time as information stored about your contacts or the criteria used to define your segments changes. When you segment your audience, you are able to create personalized Automation emails and Single Sends that directly address the wants and needs of your particular audience.
The Marketing Campaigns Segments V2 API allows you to create, edit, and delete segments as well as retrieve a list of segments or an individual segment by ID.
Note that Twilio SendGrid checks for newly added or modified contacts who meet a segment's criteria on an hourly schedule. Only existing contacts who meet a segment's criteria will be included in the segment searches within 15 minutes.
Segments built using engagement data such as "was sent" or "clicked" will take approximately 30 minutes to begin populating.
Segment samples and counts are refreshed approximately once per hour; they do not update immediately. If no contacts are added to or removed from a segment since the last refresh, the sample and UI count displayed will be refreshed at increasing time intervals with a maximum sample and count refresh delay of 24 hours.
This endpoint allows you to retrieve a list of segments.
The query param parent_list_ids
is treated as a filter. Any match will be returned. Zero matches will return a response code of 200 with an empty results
array.
parent_list_ids | no_parent_list_id | ids | result |
---|---|---|---|
empty | false | empty | all segments values |
list_ids | false | empty | segments filtered by list_ids values |
list_ids | true | empty | segments filtered by list_ids and segments with no parent list_ids empty |
empty | true | empty | segments with no parent list_ids |
anything | anything | ids | segments with matching segment ids |
Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>
Optional
A list of segment IDs to retrieve. When this parameter is included, the no_parent_list_ids
and parent_list_ids
parameters are ignored and only segments with given IDs are returned.
Optional
A comma separated list up to 50 in size, to filter segments on. Only segments that have any of these list ids as the parent list will be retrieved. This is different from the parameter of the same name used when creating a segment.
Optional
If set to true
, segments with an empty value of parent_list_id
will be returned in the filter. If the value is not present, it defaults to 'false'.
false
ID assigned to the segment when created.
36
Max length: 36
Name of the segment.
1
Max length: 100
Total number of contacts present in the segment
ISO8601 timestamp of when the object was created
ISO8601 timestamp of when the object was last updated
ISO8601 timestamp of when the samples were last updated
ISO8601 timestamp of when the samples will be next updated
The array of list ids to filter contacts on when building this segment. It allows only one such list id for now. We will support more in future
If not set, segment contains a query for use with Segment v1 APIs. If set to '2', segment contains a SQL query for use in v2.
Segment status indicates whether the segment's contacts will be updated periodically
