User Segments

What Are User Segments?

User segments define groups of users who can access specific help centre content. They control which articles and sections are visible to which users -- for example, restricting internal documentation to agents only, or showing premium content only to certain customers.

What Configly Captures

For each user segment, Configly stores:

  • Segment name
  • User type -- which users are included (e.g., signed-in users, staff, specific tags/organisations)
  • Built-in status -- whether this is a default Zendesk segment or a custom one
  • Created and updated timestamps
