9. User Segmentation
Enterprises may choose to either send to or skip the leads and users from Pardot engagement programs/email lists. Businesses can decide if they want to keep the lists private, meant only for internal use or want to make them public and keep a provision of email preference page that provides users control over their subscription management. They can import the lists through CSV which is created in two ways- manually building the lists or dynamically creating them with the help of defined rules. There is also an optional provision for adding the list to the CRM allowing users to add/remove the leads depending upon the current status and other related factors.
Different ways for adding customers on the lists
There are two types of lists namely static lists and dynamic lists.
- Dynamic List Creation: The dynamic rule-based lists have automated provision for adding those clients that fit the specified criteria and removing them when they no longer satisfy the criteria.
- Static List Creation: Here the list refers to a set of clients or leads to whom the enterprises can send their engagement communication. The enterprises can either manually add the clients to static lists or opt for automated ways to add them to make the process easier and quicker.
10. Automation Tools Setup
The automation tools of Pardot simplify, speed up and streamline things. Along with creating a criteria-based list of customers these tools are also used to execute other customer-related tasks. These repeatable rules are based on specified criteria that look for corresponding prospects and execute the defined actions. The users first need to evaluate their requirements and then configure the automation tool accordingly to extract the maximum outcome.
