We suggest using the Default phonebook to manage all your contacts and events efficiently. It reduces the chances of duplicate contacts and simplifies segmentation.


#

Step 3: Customize Columns

Click on Column Settings to add or modify fields:

  • Select from existing fields.

  • Or click тАЬAdd ColumnтАЭ to create custom fields.

Enter your field name and select the appropriate type. Then click Add.

ЁЯЖХ Step 5: [Optional] Set TTL (Time-to-Live) for Known Contacts

Now you can choose to auto-delete known contacts from a phonebook after a set number of days.

#

ЁЯФз How to Enable TTL:

  1. While creating or editing a phonebook.

  2. Set a numeric value (in days) for how long the known contacts should remain.

For example: "known_expiry": 5

This will automatically remove known contacts after 5 days.

By following these steps, you can quickly configure Segmento, upload your entire contact database, and now even manage automatic contact expiry to keep your data fresh and relevant.
