### **Selecting the Audience or Segment**

To automate review requests to your contacts, you need to have an Audience or a Segment selected. Once the Automation runs, it will monitor the selected Audience/Segment for contact changes. Suppose a new contact has been added to the selected Audience/Segment. In that case, that contact will be automatically followed up with an email or SMS text message review request as per the automation setup.

**NOTE:** A review automation will not follow up with the same contact twice, regardless of whether the contact belongs to multiple audiences or segments.
