Playtime Living Lists

Describe who you want to reach. The list updates itself.

“Gave over $500, saw two musicals, lives in Brooklyn.” Ask in plain language and get an always up-to-date list, ready for marketing, fundraising, ticketing and reporting.

The problem

Every list is out of date the moment you export it.

Someone builds a segment, exports a CSV, and by the time the campaign goes out the data has moved. So it gets rebuilt. Then rebuilt again for the next campaign, and again for the report.

Ask about your people in Playtime: the question “Subscribers from last season who haven’t renewed yet but came to 3 or more shows”, the answer in plain words, the four rules the list was built from, and 214 people match.
The Review & save list dialog over the answer in Playtime: the list named Lapsed subscribers, 3+ visits, the columns to include, how often it updates set to Daily, and Export CSV or Save list.

The Playtime solution

Describe it once. Use it anywhere.

  • Nothing to rebuild

    The list you made in March is still right in September, without anyone touching it.

  • One list, everywhere

    The same audience becomes an email list, a presale group, a dashboard widget or a fundraising segment.

  • Always the right information

    It reflects what is true now, not what was true when someone hit export.

A Living List’s own page, Lapsed subscribers, 3+ visits: 214 members, 9 joined and 17 left recently, set to update daily, and used in a member group.

What’s in it

Everything Living Lists lets you do.

A living list is not an export that goes stale.

  1. Ask in plain English

    The way you’d ask a colleague.

  2. Teach it your own terms

    Tell it once what “Super Nova” means.

  3. Get the right shape back

    A number, list, table or report.

  4. Save any answer as a list

    It keeps itself up to date.

  5. Watch the list move

    Who joined and who dropped out, every refresh.

  6. Send to it directly

    The list is current at send time.

  7. Open a presale

    Give the list early access or seating deals.

  8. Chart it on a dashboard

    A live widget, not a screenshot.

  9. Hand it to fundraising

    The same audience, for the development team.

How it works

Say it the way you’d say it out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Describe it

    In plain English, the way you would ask a colleague for it.

  2. Step 2

    It builds the list

    Across CRM, ticketing and giving data at once.

  3. Step 3

    Use it anywhere

    Email campaign, ticketing member group, dashboard widget.

  4. Step 4

    It keeps updating

    The list refreshes itself, so it is right the next time you open it.

Trust

Every list is built from your data, without changing a thing.

Enforced by the database, not by a promise.

  • No risk to your records

    Building a list only reads your records, so there’s no risk of a donor record being changed or lost.

  • Your organization only

    Every question stays inside your own records. It can’t reach another organization’s data.

  • Never slows you down

    Every question is capped at fifteen seconds, so building a list never slows down the rest of Playtime.

  • Check it’s right

    Every list shows exactly what it was built from, so you can check it’s accurate before you use it. No surprises.
