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.
