Are you looking for a way to find specific groups of contacts in your ActiveCampaign account? Do you want to pull custom searches to target your audience and optimize your marketing campaigns? If so, the Advanced Search feature in ActiveCampaign just became your new best friend!

What does the Advanced Search feature do?

The Advanced Search feature allows you to search for specific groups of contacts based on custom criteria. This feature gives you more control over the types of contacts you can target with your campaigns. It allows you to segment your audience based on various factors including tags, actions, interests, and much more.

For example, if you want to find contacts who have entered two specific automations and have also purchased a gift from your shop, you can use the Advanced Search feature to pull that segment of contacts, allowing you to create targeted campaigns for this specific audience to improve your conversion rates and maximize your return on investment.
