The readers list: name, email, lists and tags, an engagement rating from one to five, and when each last opened

Nest 'all' and 'any' groups as deep as your logic goes

Most platforms stop at one flat list of conditions. AuthorSend lets you nest AND/OR groups arbitrarily deep — readers tagged by interest who opened in the last 90 days, AND who either clicked your launch campaign or carry a 4+ engagement rating. If you can say it, you can build it.

  • Target lists, tags, engagement ratings, signup dates, email and name fields, campaign activity, per-book reader status, and unlimited custom fields
  • 16+ operators, from equals/between to contains, before/after, in last N days, and opened/clicked (or not)
  • A live match-count preview shows exactly how many readers qualify before you send
The segment builder with nested rules: readers who opened the cover reveal and clicked the book link, or are tagged as ARC reviewers, with the live match count
AI segments

Or just describe the audience in plain English

Type something like 'readers who joined from my free guide but haven't opened anything in two months' and the AI assistant translates it into a proper nested segment — conditions, operators, groups and all. Review it, tweak it, save it.

  • Natural-language descriptions become editable segment logic, never a black box
  • Generated segments use the same builder, so you can refine every rule by hand
  • Save the result and reuse it across campaigns and sends

Targeting tools that do the bookkeeping for you

Engagement ratings

Every reader carries a 1–5 engagement rating that updates automatically — segment on it like any other field.

Saved segments

Build a segment once and reuse it for every campaign. Edit it in one place and every send picks up the change.

Pre-built templates

Start from ready-made segments like “Engaged subscribers,” “Recently subscribed,” or “Unengaged / at-risk” instead of a blank canvas.

Campaign-activity targeting

Target readers by what they did with past sends — opened, not opened, clicked, or not clicked, within any date window.

Custom fields

Segment on anything you track — favorite topic, signup source, store preference — alongside built-in fields.

Date-window precision

Before, after, between, or in the last N days — signup dates and activity windows down to the day.

No testimonials yet — receipts instead

The segment shows you exactly who it reaches — a live match count, before you press send.

Counts are computed against your actual list as you build the conditions, so “engaged non-buyers in the last 90 days” is a number on screen, not a surprise in the send report.
