Hello,

is the something like a “created field” in the contacts?

I want to create a segment with new contacts, for example with contacts created in the last 5 days.

Any ideas how to reach this?

Thanks for some help!

Best regards,

Timo

Thanks for your reply. So there is not created field by default and I have to create a custom one.

Good to know!

You could use the Date Identified maybe? this is the date where a contact became know (ie: not longer anonymous)
