# Take action on customer segments

Open segmentation data in other tools, create CRM tasks, and export data for use outside Phocas.

After identifying opportunities in the segmentation view, use these actions to follow up with customers and explore your data further.

## Open a customer profile

Drill down into detailed information for a customer, explore AI-generated summary and opportunities.

In the customer segmentation table, click a customer link to open the **Customer profile** page.

See [Review a customer profile](/sales-insights/use-customer-segmentation/review-a-customer-profile.md).

## Open a customer segment in Flex Modes

From the customer segmentation grid, open a customer segment in [Flex Modes](/flex-modes/take-a-tour-of-flex-modes.md). This passes the customers in the selected segment to Flex Modes as a filter, so you can analyze their transactions, products, and trends in more detail.

1. In the customer segmentation chart, select the segment you want to analyze.
2. Click **Open in Flex Modes** at the bottom of the customer segmentation grid.

Flex Modes opens with the selected customers applied as a filter. You can then explore their data in more detail using the analytics grid.

## Create CRM activities

{% hint style="info" %}
You need a CRM license to use this functionality. See [Licenses](/basics/getting-started/user-permissions-and-licenses.md) and [CRM](https://docs.phocassoftware.com/crm/).
{% endhint %}

Create CRM activities for customers you want to follow up with, without leaving Sales Insights. You can create a task, meeting, phone log, or business note for one or more customers at the same time.

1. In the customer segmentation grid, select one or more customers.
2. In the bulk actions bar, select **Create CRM activities**.
3. Select the [type of activity](/crm/activities.md) you want to create:
   * **Task**
   * **Meeting**
   * **Phone log**
   * **Business note**
4. Enter the activity details. The available fields depend on the activity type. For example, you can assign an owner, set dates and times, link the activity to a campaign, or add a description.
5. Select **Add**. A separate CRM activity is created for each selected customer.

When the activities are created, a confirmation bar appears. Select **View activities** to open them in CRM. You can also open **CRM > Activities** from the [Phocas menu](https://docs.phocassoftware.com/sales-insights/use-customer-segmentation/spaces/7pj8v25BOyqZTdG5mdD1/pages/ZeZjXGo5IUnetkaS3eUs#navigation-findyourwayaroundphocas-1.phocasmenu) to view and manage them.

See [Activities](/crm/activities.md) for more information about working with activities in CRM.

## Export data

Export your customer segmentation data when you want to use it in another system or for further analysis. Download the data as a CSV file, which you can open in spreadsheet tools such as Excel.

Click the **Export** button in the configuration bar, next to the filter button, then download and open the file.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.phocassoftware.com/sales-insights/use-customer-segmentation/take-action-on-customer-segments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
