Supporter Profiles

Supporter profiles are used to segment your supporters into groups. These profiles can then be used in your queries to export supporters, to select supporters when sending emails, but also to show conditional content in pages and emails. You can also use them in visual reports to compare engagement of different profiles.

Profiles use various filters to determine which supporters should be in the profile, based on user data, question responses, participation in advocacy actions or submitted fundraising pages.

Profiles are not mutually exclusive – that is, a supporter can be in more than one profile at once, although when selecting for conditional emails, you prioritise them so that a supporter can only receive one email. Check the Activity Summary gadget to see what profiles a particular supporter is in.

Profiles will auto-update their data once a day if they are scheduled, or when manually updated. When used, they will select based on their most recent update.

Creating a profile

Click on the button to create a new profile. This will take you to the “Create Profile” screen.

Enter the name of your profile in the name field.

Select the “Filter Conditions” you would like to use for the profile: AND or OR. This will only be used if you add more than one filter to your profile and can be changed at any time.

Adding filters to a profile

Select the type of filter you would like to use from the filter dropdown menu and click the “Add filter” button.

Filter conditions

If you would like to add multiple filters to a profile, you will need to repeat the process until you have the combination you want.

The filter condition setting determines how the filters will work together. AND (the default) will pick supporters that match every filter you include. That is, the more filters you add, the more precise and narrow the group that will be selected. For example, selecting people opted-in AND in London will only pick people in London that are opted-in.

OR will select everyone that obeys any of the filters. That is, the more filters you add, the bigger the group will be. For example, selecting people opted-in OR in London can pick people in London that are not opted-in (and people opted-in from any city).
