Segmenting Based on Smile.io Points Balance or VIP Tier

2. Name your Segment and choose whether you'd like to identify contacts on one specific list, or across all lists (All contacts) 
3. From the dropdown menu, select Smile.io and then select your shop
4. Select the conditions for your segment:
   • Exists: This option will segment all of your contacts that are customers from Smile.io
   • Points Balance: Segment customers based on their points balance; lesser, greater than or equal to a certain number of points

Using Smile.io to Trigger an Automation

Troubleshooting

I do not see my Smile.io customers within Sendlane or the Segmentation options are not available!

If you have just completed the integration process, it will take some time for all of that information to sync over. If you visit the Smile.io integration page within your Sendlane account and see that the status still shows Syncing, some information or actions may not be available yet. 

If you have any issues using your Smile.io integration, our support team is available 24/7. Plus, the Smile.io team is just a few clicks away!
