Broadcast recipients

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Target audience and sending progress. Before sending, including preparation, total is an estimate (total_is_estimate=true); sent and queued are null. After start, total = sent + queued. An unknown queue leaves both queued and total null. Sent is not delivered; delivery counts are in get_broadcast_stats.

Example while sending: {"sent":800,"queued":200,"total":1000,"total_is_estimate":false}.

Has Other Conditions

True: the conditions also hold rules besides segments; get_broadcast has them all

boolean
limit
Limit

At most this many recipients; null when not limited

integer
nullable
all_contacts
required
All Contacts

True: the conditions select every subscribed contact, the admin’s All contacts; it is stored as an empty list of segments

boolean
conditions
Conditions

Who receives the broadcast. Only subscribed contacts are sent to: that condition is always added and is not in the tree. The tree is written as segment conditions.

Which contacts belong to the segment: a tree of conditions, applied to the contacts as they are at the moment it is used.

Conditions are the condition language of the Getsitecontrol admin, with its own variable names and codes; they are not the field names and values of Contact. A segment written here can be edited in the admin, and the variables below are the ones the admin’s condition editor offers.

A node is an object with exactly op and args. A group has op and or or and nodes in args; a leaf has the variable {{$contact.<name>}} as the first argument, then its values: none for * (is set) and undefined (is not set), two for between and !between, one for the rest. To negate, use the opposite operator; there is no not node.

The admin editor shows a root group whose args are groups, each holding leaves, as in the example; write that shape so the segment stays editable there. {"op": "and", "args": []} matches every contact of the site. Conditions are saved as sent.

Values are integers, strings or, for ina and !ina, a list of them.

OperatorMeaning
=, !=equals, differs
ina, !inaany of the list, none of it
<, >, between, !betweencompare; between includes both ends
^, $, in, match (and !-forms)starts with, ends with, contains, wildcard * without case
*, undefinedis set, is not set

Text operators other than match are case sensitive, except on $contact.email: a contact’s email is stored lowercase and compared without case by every operator. In ^, $, in, match and their negations _ matches any single character and % is a plain character.

VariableOperatorsValue
$contact.email, phone, firstName, lastNametext operators, =, !=, ina, !ina, *, undefinedstring
$contact.country=, !=, ina, !ina, *, undefinedISO 3166-1 alpha-2, upper case

$contact.$shopifyOrderDateas $contact.datethe latest order
$contact.<field id>by the field type from list_contact_fields: text, integer, number, date or datetimeas the field; boolean and other fields are refused

ina and !ina on tags and segments take at least one id. On $contact.tags, = means the contact has that tag among its tags.

$contact.isSubscribed compares the stored status code as the admin does: S does not match a contact who confirmed double opt-in, U does not match one who never subscribed or awaits double opt-in, and B matches every bounced contact. The contact statuses subscribed, unsubscribed and bounced are the broader groups.

Ids are integers or strings of digits. A number is a 32-bit integer or a string holding one. A date is YYYY-MM-DD or ISO 8601 with an offset. For $contact.date, $shopifyOrderDate and datetime fields, a value at midnight is a whole day: = and != cover the day, and the second value of between runs to its end. Date fields and $contact.email*Date compare with midnight exactly.

Nested segments may not form a cycle. A list must reference each nested segment once, and not one nested inside another.

Conditions are checked the way they run: nested segments must exist and the whole tree must compile, so an unknown variable or a value of the wrong type is refused. Conditions saved in the admin are returned as they are and may use other variables and values.
