Segmentation Value as Token

It baffles me that we can't use the result of a segmentation update as a token, primarily to sync with other fields like SFDC fields.

Note that the current segment is available (as a raw value) in Velocity, so there's a precedent for it being surfaced as a standalone value (though not necessarily a static value as would be required to sync to SFDC.)

This would be so helpful! It's really cumbersome to sync segmentation info to SFDC.

Member of Segment >> CDV "Segment Field"=Segment Name

you can easily run batches periodically. Won't be real time, but I suspect you don't always need that real time in SFDC.

as long as when you create a new segmentation you also update that CDV.... and like you said it's not done regularly, so likelihood of forgetting to update BOTH is high...
