Segments
A segment designates which users receive messages from a campaign or journey, typically a group of customers that share certain attributes.
You can create a segment by sending a POST request to the Segments resource.
The body of your request specifies the dimensions that determine which endpoints
belong to the segment. If you use the Segments resource to create a segment, the
segment type is DIMENSIONAL
, which means that endpoints that belong
to the segment vary over time based on user activity. If you want to create a
static segment, which includes a fixed set of endpoints, you can send a POST
request to the Import
Jobs resource to import the endpoints that belong to the segment. For
more information, see Importing
Segments in the Amazon Pinpoint Developer
Guide.
You can use the Segments resource to create, retrieve information about, or update the settings for segments that are associated with an application.

After this date any value in the tags attribute is not processed and will not generate an error code. Use the Tags resource to add or modify tags.
