Segment customers using Toast data

4. Under Definition, select What someone has done (or not done) > Placed Order > at least once > in the last > 30 > days.
5. Click Create segment.

Use Toast data in flows

You can use Toast metrics to trigger flows. For example, you can use the Placed Order metric to trigger a flow to send messages to someone immediately when they place an order.

To create a flow using Toast metrics:

1. Navigate to Flows.
2. Click Create flow in the top right.
3. Click Create from scratch in the top right.
