Create a random sample from a segment

Last updated: September 3, 2025

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

To separate out a subset of records in a segment, you can create a random sample. For example, you have a segment of your long-term customers. You can take a random sample of the customers from which you'll request testimonials about their experience with your business. You can create a random sample segment with a certain number of records or a percentage of the records in the segment.

To create multiple segments with certain percentages of records in an existing segment, you can split a segment instead (Marketing Hub Enterprise only).

Permissions required Edit Segment permissions are required to create random sample segments.

  1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Segments.
  2. Click the name of the segment of which to create a sample.
  3. In the top right, click Actions, then select Create random sample.
  4. In the dialog box, enter the number of records or % of records you want in the random sample. The value that isn't filled in will auto-populate to show the count and percentage breakdown.
  5. Click Create segment.
  6. A pop-up will appear to confirm a new static segment was created with a sample of the segment's records. To navigate to the new segment, click the segment name. To close the pop-up and return to the source segment, click Got it.
To track how many random samples have been made from a segment, you can review the source segment's details. Learn more about editing or using segments.
