How do I segment constituents based on location, interests, or
other criteria?
Overview
You can use queries to target specific constituents.
5 #bbcon
When Should I Use Query?
• You need to identify sets of constituents who share specific characteristics, such as “lives in Texas” or “joined our organization in the past week.”
• You need to be able to refresh the groups so they always include the most current group of constituents who match the characteristics.
• There is not an existing Constituent360 group or Report that will identify the constituents.
