FAQ

Q: How many splits are too many? 

  • A: Up to three splits per journey is supported.

Q: When should I use a split versus a filter?

  • A: Filters are recommended if you want to add criteria for a single touch. If you know you want to fork the audience into multiple groups, a split is usually the way to go.
