Glossary of terms used in the User.com app to help you understand key names and definitions.


A/B Testing - a method where you send two (or more) different versions of a message (email, push, or SMS) to parts of your audience to see which version performs best.

Access Level - a role or permission set that determines which parts of the application a user (team member) can see and act upon.

Attribute - a characteristic of an object (such as a user, company, product, deal, ticket, event, etc.) that is stored in its profile. It represents a data field that holds a value used to describe or segment that object.

Automation - a predefined workflow (flow) made of connected modules (triggers, conditions, actions) on the basis of the user story written in advance, that automatically responds to user behavior or system events.

Automation Logs - records of every execution of an automation flow showing which modules ran, when they ran, and for which contacts. These logs help you monitor, debug, and audit your automations. Logs are available for 30 days only.

Calculated Attributes - a tool that gathers and calculates numerical data across the platform. The module allows you to generate metrics such as counts, sums, averages, or medians, based on events, attributes, or deals, providing a way to consolidate and analyze data for reporting, segmentation, or triggering further actions.

Chat Widget - an interactive chat interface embedded in your website that enables real-time conversation between visitors (or users) and your support or sales team, or can be driven by a chatbot.

Company - an organizational object used to group one or more individual contacts under a shared business account.

Contact - an individual represented in the system (visitor, lead, subscriber, or customer).

Contact List - a static grouping of contacts defined by rules, imports, or manual additions. Unlike a segment (which updates automatically), a contact list requires explicit rules for adding and removing contacts. Lists are often used to determine campaign recipients, and may be public (contacts can subscribe/unsubscribe themselves) or private (only used internally).

Contact Profile - the central record for an individual contact that compiles all their data, history, and interactions. It contains attributes, tags/lists/segments, events, deals, companies, tickets, and other connected objects - providing a complete, unified view of that contact’s relationship with your business

Conversations - the central interface where your team views and manages all conversations with contacts (from chat, email, API, mobile, etc.).

Creator - the person listed as the author or maintainer of a given piece of content.

Custom Knowledge Base Domain - hosting your help center (Knowledge Base) on a domain or subdomain you own (e.g. docs.yourcompany.com) instead of the default User.com URL.

Filters - conditions you use to narrow down objects (e.g. contacts, deals, tasks, etc) based on attributes, events, or other criteria. They let you extract subsets - e.g. contacts from a specific city, deals in a certain stage, or contacts who performed a specific event.
