Pre-defined segments are out-of-the-box, ready-made segments available in your account so that you don’t need to create common queries from scratch. Each pre-defined segment allows you to modify the values used in data categories to customize them for your organization’s use case.
Pre-defined segments also come with suggestions on how they can be used in marketing automations, bulk messaging, or as a filter in reporting to give your organization new ideas for how to better segment your audience.
