In Customer.io, segments basically comprise a group of people who demonstrate similar in-app or product behavior. These groups trigger similar campaigns and have similar conversion criteria. In Customer.io, a few segments are already pre-configured for you. Some very common segments of customers include ‘Paying customers’, ‘Not logged in recently’, ‘Subscribed’, ‘Unsubscribed’, and so on. There are basically two major kinds of segments in Customer.io – data-driven, and manual. Customers are added to data-driven segments by Customer.io automatically, as per their product behavior and matching of the segment’s predefined conditions. On the other hand, you can manually add or remove customers from a segment in manual mode. These two types of segments give you complete control over your customers, and how you want to work with the campaigns and notifications catering to them.

Customer.io allows third-party integrations, as long as the product can send the relevant data to Customer.io using their prescribed methods.
