# Segment Recipients with Target-Form Conditional Logic

*(Premium only)*

Target-form conditional logic lets you filter down recipients from the target form so only certain entries are included in a batch.

---

## How It Works

1. In your feed, set a **Target Form** and choose its **Email Field**.
2. Enable **Mass Email Conditional Logic** in the feed settings.
3. Define rules based on fields in the target form.
   - Example: “Donation Date is after 01/01/2025.”
   - Example: “Role = Parent.”
4. Submit the control form. The batch will include only entries that match your conditions.

---

## Using Merge Tags

- You can use merge tags from the control form to populate values in the target-form conditions.
- This makes the filter dynamic (e.g., “Donation Date is after {ControlForm:DateField:meff}”).
- Note: When you use merge tags, the preview will display 0 recipients even though the batch will run correctly.

---

## Tips

- Combine multiple rules to build precise audience segments.
- Always double-check the estimated batch size when not using merge tags.
