You can edit the rules if you would like to make any changes to the segment. Otherwise, you can just click on the back button to find the list of contacts that match the filter condition.
Now, the contacts that match the filter rules will be added to the segment. Also, the contacts who match the rules in the future will be added to the segment automatically. If a contact no longer matches the rules, the contact will be removed from the list automatically.
To add contacts to the segment by creating custom segment rules, you need to click on ‘Create from scratch’.

NOTE: You can also use multiple conditional filter rules to create a list. And, you can use the AND, OR conditions to combine filter rules within a filter group and between filter groups.
Once filter rules are added, you need to click on the ‘Save Segment’ button to find the list of contacts that match the conditional filter rules.
That’s it. Your custom segment is created successfully.
Now, the contacts that match the filter rules will be added to the segment. Also, the contacts who match the rules in the future will be added to the segment automatically. If a contact no longer matches the rules, the contact will be removed from the list automatically.
