Groups

Last Updated: 2022-01-25

Groups are where the magic happens in Grouparoo. (It's in the name, after all!) Groups are a segment or cohort of Records. They are useful in that you can use Groups to target a specific set of Records to export to some Destination. See here to learn more about the core concepts in Grouparoo.

Step 1: Add a Group

To add a Group, select your Model from the navigation bar and click the "Add new Group" button.

UI Config: Add Group

This will take you to a page where you can name your Group.

UI Config: Add Group Name

Step 2: Configure Group

Groups add and remove Records automatically based on Group Rules that you define. Each rule has several options for logically determining if a Record belongs in the Group.

After creating a Group, you will be able to define the rules for that Group.

UI Config: Configure Group

Examples

Here are a few different examples of Groups and their rules:

Example: Repeat Purchasers

Group Rules:

  • Records who have purchased more than once
  • Records with an email
UI Config: Group Example #1

Example: High Value with Recent Automotive Purchases

Group Rules:

  • Records who have a Life-time Value (LTV) of over 100
  • Records who have purchased in the last 60 days
  • Records with the Automotive purchase category
UI Config: Group Example #2

Example: High-Value Spanish Speakers

Group Rules:

  • Records who have an account value of 100 or greater
  • Records with a language set to spanish
UI Config: Group Example #3

Generated Config File

Grouparoo's UI Config will write a JSON file to your local filesystem based on your inputs. That file will be placed in the config/groups directory in your Grouparoo project. You can further edit this file locally or through the UI Config.

Next Steps

Once you've grouped your users, you're ready for the last step in the Grouparoo configuration journey, adding Destinations.
