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 
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).
Available filters (general)
Attribute
Find supporters with an attribute or attributes. These are set on page and email activity.
Constituent data
This filter selects supporters based on constituent data fields, such as City.
Select a field: select which field you want to filter on
Operator: you can select different options to match the field against. Equals, Does not equal, Contains, Ends with, Begins with, Is Null and Is Not Null. Untagged fields also offer “Is a number between” (for number formatted fields. Use the tilde, e.g. 0~100 for between 0 and 100 – this will include records with value 0 and records with value 100), Is Before (for YYYYMMDD formatted fields) and Is After (for YYYYMMDD formatted fields)
Examples of using this filter:
A profile of email addresses that end with yahoo.com (case insensitive)
A profile of supporters who live in London (city equals London, case insensitive)
Last opt-in question response date
Find supporters who either did, or did not, respond to an Opt-in question with a particular value in a given timeframe.
Find supporters who: have or have not
responded to: add your opt-in question(s) here
With the value: Y (opt-in) or N (opted-out)
from: all sources (i.e. including imports) or page submissions only
date range: during the last, during this date range, on this date, since this date, before this date
Your opt in settings could cause unexpected results If your account settings are either unchecked for “Update existing supporter records when an opt-in question response is submitted via web page” and you are using a checkbox opt-in or checked for “If an Opt In value is Y, do not display on the page render for the supporter” then it means that supporters may not be creating opt-in transactions when taking part in your pages and so this filter would naturally not be able to include those submissions.
Examples of using this filter:
Two filters of the same type with an AND could pick up supporters that opted-in between 1-2 years ago but not in the last year. For example, Supporters who have responded to ‘Email Opt-in’ with the value of Y during the during the last 730 days, AND supporters who have not responded to Email Opt-in with the value of Y during the last 365 days
