Better segmentation options
planned

Mark Anderson
Segmentation options are rather limited right now. Even a simple set of "I'm interested in" options for subscribers isn't possible. This could be significantly improved in two ways:
- add the option to segment based on wp_usermeta fields. This would allow me to gather subscriber information by many other methods (Gravity Forms, Buddy Press, etc), and then create email segments based on that.
- add a PHP API which would allow me to define my own segments by any criteria I want. While this would require a developer to take advantage of, it might make it easier for creating new segmentation options in MailPoet itself, so possibly worthwhile for both third party and your own developers :-)

+1 in support for PHP API, especially for definition of dynamic segments.

Yes, I would like it too. My use case is as described here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/let-users-assign-to-lists-segments/#post-13474633
(Instead of sending one mail per topic merge them into one mail, but based on topics the addressee is interested in – so be able to not send all topics to all folks.)

WooCommerce Segment based on Purchase Date

It would be great if we could segment our list based on customer purchase data through WooCommerce. For example, sometimes I don't want to send a promotional newsletter out to those who purchased within the past two weeks. It would be great if I could filter them out.

Ability to use lists to exclude from segment. ie people in list A and list B are used to exclude from overlap in list C

This. On so many levels. I need this yesterday! ;)
A tagging based segmentation could be helpful here.
Or the ability to create groups within a list.
Both of which as Mark has said could easily be added into the wp_usermeta fields.

Agreed.
For example, I do webinars. People can join a list about webinar events.
They can also request reminders for specific webinars. I currenlty have to make each specific webinar a User Role to segment that out, which seems silly. They ought to be able to just tag themselves as wanting MonthlyWebinar2 updates and so on.

I would love a very basic MVP system for "flag" type segment that lets me apply a flag to a specific user manually, then segment emails to everyone with that flag. Think of it like categories or tags for blog posts.
Using wp_usermeta to store the data, as Mark said, should work just fine.
+1000 if I can get/set flags via Zapier.
