Create segment via API

Joining my voice to this request if it can help move it forward. We would also have a use case for a create segment API endpoint. Lists will work for now, but it means that we need a dev from the team to build a feature to dynamically add and remove profiles from the list where as segments would allow our marketing team to be self-sufficient in the work. And since the number of segment is too large to me manageable manually, we would really need an API to automate their creation.

Cheers,

@jimk very interested to hear your workaround as we also need a create-segment endpoint. Would you mind sharing it?

we also need this.

Hi @jaco5842 and @lonsilon.

Sorry for the tardy reply.  Just back from holidays.  
I’m not the dev on our team, so my explanation may not be technically correct. The gist of our workaround is to dynamically create a ‘list’ and programmatically (based on our criteria) select which profiles will be added to that list.  Hope this helps.

Cheer...Jim

Agree Alex.  What you describe is what we’re doing now with lists.  A create segment API is going to be a much better solution.  Can’t wait to roll up our sleeves and dive into this.

Cheers…..Jim

Hello @jimk,

As part of our new API, we do have an endpoint for segments now. However, this endpoint is meant for retrieving the segment and profiles associated with them.

Currently, it’s still not supported to create segments via API. 

You can find more information on our segment endpoint from our API Reference here.

Hey @jimk,

I’m unsure if creating segments via API is on our roadmap or not. I’ll certainly share this feedback with our Product Team - especially the ones responsible for the rollout of our new API to explore this further.
