The plugin allows you to send a campaign to a segment, a subset, of the subscribers who belong to the selected lists.
The plugin adds a tab to the Send a campaign page that lets you define conditions. A condition comprises a field, an operator, and a target value. When the campaign is sent only those subscribers who meet either any or all of the conditions will be selected.
These subscriber fields and attributes are supported for fields:
- each subscriber attribute
- the subscriber email address
- the subscriber id
- the subscriber unique id
- the date they signed-up to phpList
- the date they subscribed to the lists to which the campaign is being sent
- the subscriber belongs to all lists to which the campaign is being sent
- subscriber campaign activity - whether the subscriber was sent, opened, or clicked a link in a specific prior campaign
Each condition has a set of operators, specific to each field, such as 'is', 'is not', 'matches', 'is before', 'opened', etc.
The target value, also specific to each field, can be a text value, a select value, a date, etc.
Requires phplist version 3.3.2 or later, and php version 5.4.0 or later. Please check your php version before installing the plugin, otherwise phplist will fail (probably a white page).
This plugin requires the Common Plugin version 3.11.0 or greater to be installed, and will not work without that. That plugin is now included in phplist so you should only need to enable it. See https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-common
Install on the Plugins page (menu Config > Plugins) using the package URL https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-segment/archive/master.zip
Download the plugin zip file from https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-segment/archive/master.zip
Expand the zip file, then copy the contents of the plugins directory to your phplist plugins directory. This should contain
- the file SegmentPlugin.php
- the directory SegmentPlugin
In the Segmentation group on the Settings page you can specify:
- The size of the list of previous campaigns for Campaign activity. The default is 10.
- The number of subscribers to display who meet the segment conditions. The default is 50.
For guidance on usage see the plugin page within the phplist documentation site https://resources.phplist.com/plugin/segment
Please raise any questions or problems in the user forum https://discuss.phplist.org/.
