Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling contacts with a client's users make use of segment-based contact limits. A contact limit sets a maximum number of contacts that a client can have with a user within a predetermined time window. A segment-based contact limit only applies the contact limit to a subset of all the client's users. The type of contact being limited could include messages that are sent to the user or advertising or sales campaigns that are conducted for the user. A segment is a subset of all of the client's users, and a segment may be defined based on one or more filters.
