The new Drag-and-Drop Segment Builder shows you who matches your segment while you build it — requirement by requirement, before you ever click Save.

Segments are the engine of Paminga. They decide who enters a Workflow, who gets scored, who sees which content on a form, who your sales team hears about... All things conditional leverage Segments.

This new drag & drop experience combines ease and clarity, enabling you to build audiences, goals, and more with confidence.

The Drag-and-Drop Segment Builder:

Paminga – Drag-and-Drop Segment Builder

Key Capabilities​

  • Live counts on every requirement, recalculated about 1.5 seconds after each edit. You don't need to save first.
  • A narrowing funnel ("Req 1 → 1 and 2 → 1 to N") that shows exactly which requirement removes contacts.
  • Click any count to see the contacts behind it.
  • A clear layout of the logic: Requirements (AND), lettered Options (OR), and Conditions, with no nesting or parentheses.
  • A plain-English readback of the whole segment ("Contacts who…"), plus a clickable Outline.
  • Drag and drop or click-to-add. Drop zones say what each drop means, and explain why a drop isn't allowed before you let go.
  • Rearrange anything: move or reorder requirements, options and conditions; shift-click several to move them together; Option-drag to copy; or use a Move To menu.
  • Undo and redo for every change (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z), including value edits, plus an Undo button on every move and delete message.
  • Revision History: who changed the segment and when, with Preview, Restore (itself undoable) and Clone to a new segment.
  • A palette with search across all conditions, a filter by condition type, and your 5 most recently used conditions, saved per user.
  • Help with long segments: Collapse or Collapse All (saved with the segment), counts of requirements and conditions, and a one-click jump to incomplete conditions.
  • Available everywhere conditions appear: Global Segments and Personas, Workflow audiences, branches and goals, Drip Series, Lead and Account Scoring, and Forms.
  • Keyboard and screen-reader support: keyboard dragging, announcements as you drag, and a Move To menu.

Key Benefits​

  • Catch a wrong segment before it ships, not after a Workflow sends to the wrong audience.
  • Debug in seconds when the audience is smaller than you expected: the funnel points at the requirement that cut it.
  • Fewer logic errors, because AND and OR are visible and read back in plain English.
  • Safe to experiment: everything can be undone, and Revision History can restore earlier versions.
  • Accountability: every save records who changed the segment and when.
  • No risk in trying it: it's opt-in per user, and it edits the same conditions as the classic builder, so you can switch back and forth freely.
  • Faster building: drag, click, duplicate and recently used conditions mean less hunting and retyping.

See Who Matches As You Build​

This is the piece I've been waiting to ship.

Every requirement on the canvas carries its own live count — the number of contacts who meet it. The Audience panel shows your total. And Matching the Requirements in Order shows how each requirement narrows the audience: Requirement 1, then 1 and 2, then 1 through 3.

Ever built a segment that came back with 14 contacts when you expected 4,000? Now you see exactly which requirement did it — and you fix it in seconds instead of guessing.

❌ Don't save, launch, and hope the audience size looks right.
✅ Do watch the count move with every change, and click any number to see the contacts behind it.

Logic You Can Read​

AND and OR logic is where segments go wrong. The new builder lays it out the way you think about it:

  • Requirements — a contact must meet every one
  • Options — lettered A, B, C — any one of them satisfies a requirement
  • Conditions — everything inside an option must be true

No parentheses. No squinting at nesting.

And the builder reads your segment back to you In Plain English — "Contacts who…" — so you can confirm it says what you meant. Paste it into Slack when you want a second set of eyes.

Drag It, Drop It, Done​

Pull a condition from the panel on the left and drop it on the canvas. While you drag, every place it can land lights up and tells you what it means — new requirement, OR, or AND. If a drop isn't allowed, it tells you why before you let go.

Not a dragger? Click a condition and it lands where you aimed it.

And everything on the canvas moves:

  • Reorder requirements
  • Move a condition into a different option
  • Shift-click several conditions and move them together
  • Hold Option while you drag to copy instead of move

Your five most recently used conditions sit at the top of the list — because you build the same kinds of segments over and over (maybe you don't think of it that way, but you do 🙂).

Undo Everything​

Moved the wrong requirement? Deleted a condition you needed? ⌘Z.

Every change can be undone — adds, moves, deletes, even value edits. And when you restore an older version from Revision History, that's undoable too.

Revision History​

Every save keeps a revision — who changed it and when. Preview any revision in plain English, Restore it, or Clone it into a brand-new segment.

When a Workflow audience changes size overnight, you'll know why.

Built for the Big Ones​

Real-world segments get long. The new builder keeps them manageable:

  • Collapse requirements to one-line summaries — or Collapse All — and Paminga remembers the view for the next person
  • The Outline lists every requirement — click one to jump straight to it
  • Incomplete conditions are flagged in red, with a one-click jump to the first one

Everywhere You Build Conditions​

The same builder shows up wherever Paminga asks for conditions — Workflow Audiences, Drip Series, Lead Scoring, Account Scoring, Personas, and more.

Same conditions, same segments. Switch back to the classic builder whenever you like — nothing about your segment changes.

Get Started​

  1. Open any Global Segment
  2. Click Try the New Builder at the top of the page
  3. Drag in a condition and watch the count

The choice is yours alone — your teammates keep whichever builder they prefer.
