Filter records based on campaign behaviour

Marketing Campaigns allows you to segment companies, contacts and other entities based on how users interact with email campaigns. These filters help identify more engaged audiences, improve sales follow-ups and measure the real impact of campaigns.

What are behaviour-based filters?

Behaviour-based filters allow you to segment records according to how recipients interacted with an email campaign.

You can easily identify:

  • Which users received a campaign

  • Which contacts opened the email

  • Which recipients clicked links

  • Which users unsubscribed

  • Which emails could not be delivered

This helps create more accurate and engagement-based audience segmentation.


Where to use campaign filters

Campaign filters are available across different areas of Sage Sales Management.

You can use them from:

  • Companies

  • Contacts

  • Opportunities

  • Orders

  • Activities

This helps connect marketing and sales within the same workflow.

Go to any compatible list and open the filter panel.

You will find a new section related to:

From there you can select campaigns and specific engagement actions.


Available filter types

Sent campaigns

Allows you to identify records included in a specific campaign.

Useful for:

  • Reviewing audiences

  • Creating follow-up actions


Delivered emails

Unsubscribes

Allows teams to identify records that requested to stop receiving communications.

This helps:

Bounces

Filters emails that could not be successfully delivered.

Useful for:

Cross-entity filtering

Behaviour filters are not limited to Companies or Contacts.

They can also be reused across other CRM entities.

Practical example

A manager can:

  1. Filter contacts who clicked a campaign

  2. Review related opportunities

  3. Analyse associated orders

  4. Measure campaign commercial impact

This helps connect campaigns with real business outcomes.
