Hi

1. email not empty maybe?

2. I don’t know to be honest maybe it was an old feature and the docs are outdated? I don’t think it makes senses to manually add user to a segment since they will be moved out if the conditions for that user don’t match. Maybe you can create a segment using tags or any other field and add them that way instead?

3. You could use this plugin to add dynamic templates and then you can use something like this in your TWIG block `{{ "now"|date("m/d/Y") }}` this will render the current date in the email

4. Answer 3 might also help with this.

5. I think TWIG might also help with this but not 💯% sure 🙂

6 and 7 don’t know sorry
