Hi everyone!

I came across with doubt and I haven’t been able to find information about it.

Is there a way to sub-categorize the segments? ie

MKT Segments

- Segment 1
  - sub segment 1.1
  - sub segment 1.2
  - sub segment 1.n

- Segment 2
  - sub segment 2.1
  - sub segment 2.2
  - sub segment 2.n

- Segment 3
  - sub segment 3.1
  - sub segment 3.2
  - sub segment 3.3

The idea is to segregate the contacts/companies into very specific segments

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Thanks!

Fastest way of doing this is including segment 1 as a condition of segment 1.1 when you set the filters.

Create Segment 1and add whatever filters. Save. Create Segment 1.1. in filters select Segment Membership including and Select Segment 1
