Smart Engagement-Based Segments automatically group your subscribers based on how recently and how often they engage with your newsletters. These segments update regularly to help you target the right audience at the right time.
Overview
Letterhead now offers automated audience segmentation based on subscriber engagement. These segments allow users to target audience members based on their interaction levels over 30, 60, and 90 days. This feature enhances engagement by enabling newsletter senders to focus on active subscribers while re-engaging inactive ones.

These are dynamic, pre-built segments that help you:
-
