Customer Segmentation and Notifications


Developers can build customer segments and use the segments to create custom retargeting and reengagement ad campaigns for their UWP apps. Additionally, devs can use these segments to send push notifications. Previously this ability was only available to Windows Insiders. So on that note, we hope you enjoy it!
