How do I create new Email Lists based on information in my MonkeyPod?
The easiest way to do is is through our advanced entity search. Here are some common examples of searches to turn into email lists. Remember, these are just examples, we highly encourage you to think about which segments would work the best for your organization.

How do I segment for a specific campaign only?
Maybe you're not trying to create a entirely new email list, but only want to segment for a specific campaign.
To get started create your Email Campaign using the main list you want to further segment, then under "Recipient Targeting" select "Send to list segment"
From here you can select from Required and Optional Filters to further segment your list.
Required Filters
To further segment the Email List tied to your campaign, you are *Required* to select the role you want to segment on first.
If the role doesn't matter because you are further segmenting on something else, simply select every role as shown below.
Optional Filters
After selecting your roles, you can then choose some optional filters to further segment.
These optional filters will show you your Custom Attributes as well as present options for you to send to people who opened or did not open a previous campaign.
The example below has an optional filter of "Did not open the Summer Program Update to Supporters" campaign.
