Hi everybody! I would like to move users who was read the last email to the segment. How can I do that? I can filter all users by command in search field like this: email\_read:8 But there are over 1000 users and because of pagination I can select only up to 100 users per page. It’s tiring and it’s not an option How can I choice all 1000 users and move them to the segment? Maybe there is other method to do that? ---

Use a campaign to do this. Put the contacts to be updated into a segment (filter accordingly), create a campaign based on this segment and do a “Modify contact’s segments” action. ---

Hi Peter, thank you for reply. I think I did as you wrote. Now, how can I run this campaign manually? Is it possible to do that? I can’t find this in doccumentation. I use Mautic only for email marketing so far.I have not set up the cron yet. ---

Just enable the campaign and it will run immediately. If you do email marketing with Mautic, I assume your cron jobs are in fact running. To update segments and send out emails you already have to use cron jobs. [https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron\_jobs.html](https://mautic.org/docs/en/setup/cron_jobs.html) ---

OK, so I have to configure cron. So far, I’ve been manually sending newsletters to contacts from Prestashop. Thank you for help. ---

OK, I understand. When the three cron jobs are active, the update will work. It would be great if you gave some feedback on the result. ---

Hello guys i found a way … well what i do is create a segment (OPENERS) with these filters : Segment membership includes : MAIN\_AUDIENCE AND email read (i select the email or emails i want) Then i go and create another segment (NON-OPENERS) with these filters : segment membership includes MAIN\_AUDIENCE AND segment membership excludes Openers Good luck everyone
