inSegment

Checks if an individual belongs to a given segment.

The segment name must be a string constant. It cannot be a field reference nor an expression.

Segments are defined in the Adobe Experience Platform. The expression editor provides an autocompleted list of segments.

Segments can have three statuses:

• existing: entity continues to be in the segment.
• realized: entity is entering the segment.
• exited: entity is exiting the segment.

Only the individuals with the Realized and Existing segment participation statuses will be considered as members of the segment. For more on how to evaluate a segment, refer to the Segmentation Service documentation.

IF inSegment('segmentName') == true means that you have a segmentMembership with the entered/existing status.

ELSE inSegment('segmentName') == false means that you have a segmentMembership of the exited status.
