You've got the right message, timing, perfect subject line, and stunning visuals. But still, no clicks. No RSVPs. No traction. We've all been there—staring at another underperforming email campaign, wondering why members aren't attending events, renewing subscriptions, or responding to outreach. But what if it's not your content?
What if it's your list?
If your CRM still relies on static filters and one-size-fits-all tags, your segmentation is already outdated. Glue Up's CRM AI changes that. It builds Smart Lists that auto-adjust based on behavior, status, and engagement patterns—so you're always sending the right message to the right people.
Here's what it means when your lists stop being static and start getting smarter—thanks to our AI-powered CRM:
Lists update instantly based on member behavior. No need to build them manually—member actions trigger inclusion instantly.
Campaigns adapt daily without manual rework. Send the right message to the right people, even as their engagement changes.
Segments reflect actual interests, not just tags. Target based on actions like event check-ins, email clicks, or logins—not outdated labels.
No exports, no spreadsheets, no cleanup. Smart Lists stay connected to your CRM, so your data's always fresh and usable.
Scalable personalization with zero added workload. Reach thousands with tailored messages—without adding tasks to your team's plate.
Still guessing why members don't engage? You don't have to. 1,000+ member-based organizations already use Smart Lists to target better and convert/retain faster.
Watch a Smart List come to life with a live demo—see how it fixes broken engagement before your next email goes out.
Smart Lists Aren't Just Lists—They're CRM AI Automation in Motion
Still wondering what makes Smart Lists worth paying attention to?
If the perks got you curious but not convinced, you're already one step closer to eliminating guesswork, boosting response rates, and scaling personalization without adding admin hours.
Glue Up's Smart Lists, powered by CRM AI, aren't just filters with a fresh coat of paint. They're dynamic audience segments built in real time—based on how members interact with your events, emails, registrations, and CRM activity.
You don't need to code. You don't need a full-time data team.
You just need to tell Glue Up what matters to your membership, and Smart Lists will take it from there.
Let's break it down:
1. Set Rules Once. Let AI Track Behavior From There.
You start by setting the logic: Who should be on this list—and why?
That could be:
Members who haven't attended an event in 90 days
Contacts with a renewal date within the next 30 days
People tagged as Event Guests who never signed up for membership
Users who clicked 2+ emails but didn't convert
These rules tap into event management software, email marketing engagement, and your CRM's custom field logic. So, you're no longer guessing who to target. Every list has a purpose—and it's always up to date.
Example: Want to re-engage lapsed members? Create a Smart List that auto-populates anyone inactive for 3+ months but still subscribed to emails. The list updates daily—no more manual filters or exports.
2. Auto-Update Lists Based on Real Member Behavior
Once a Smart List is live, it constantly monitors behavior across your system:
Event sign-ups
Email opens and clicks
Form submissions
Membership status updates
No more pulling outdated CSVs or wondering if your filters were set right. Smart Lists pull from live data inside your CRM. Once someone qualifies for your conditions, they appear on the list. If they no longer meet the criteria, they drop off automatically.
Think of it like: "If a guest attended a networking mixer but hasn't signed up for membership in 14 days, add them to your 'Warm Leads – Post-Event' Smart List."
3. Use Tags, Custom Fields, and Event Behavior Together
With CRM AI-driven Smart Lists, you can build layered logic using:
Tags like "Sponsor," "Lapsed Member," or "Committee Chair"
CRM custom fields such as chapter, industry, or join date
Event participation data like no-shows or session attendance
This combines your full member database software and event management records into one living segmentation engine. So, you can finally act on the deep member insights you've always had but couldn't execute—until now.
Example: Create a Smart List for mid-level professionals in Georgia who registered for but didn't attend your last two Quarterly Economic Outlook webinars. These members are likely interested but may need a more personal nudge—ideal for a tailored follow-up campaign or exclusive roundtable invite.
4. Get Accurate Behavior-Triggered Lists to Drive Targeted Re-Engagement
Smart Lists live inside your AI-powered CRM. They're not an export. They're not a weekly task. They're:
Synced in real-time with all Glue Up modules
Usable in dashboards, campaign targeting, and renewal pipelines
Always ready for your next board meeting, report, or strategy call
The outcome? Faster decisions. Better outreach. Smarter operations. All powered by clean, AI-enhanced CRM segmentation.
Example: Pull a list of all "First-Time Event Attendees June 2025" to invite them to your next onboarding webinar—without asking your ops team.
The Domino Effect of Broken Engagement Loops – What The Data Says About Outdated CRMs & Processes
If you're still on the fence about Smart Lists, you're not alone.
Many membership organizations hesitate to adopt AI-powered tools, unsure of their necessity, learning curve, or ROI.
But the data tells a compelling story: outdated systems and fragmented engagement strategies silently erode member relationships and organizational growth.
And it doesn't start with an event invite that goes unopened. It begins upstream—with static data, bloated CRMs, and legacy segmentation models that treat all members equally.
Let's look at what that cascade looks like:
CRM decay kicks in fast. Over 60% of CRM data becomes inaccurate within just two years. Job titles change, regions shift, and interests evolve—yet your team's still blasting the same email to 10,000 people, assuming it still fits. (Prove Identity Manager Report)
Bad data means bad math. 44% of organizations estimate losing more than 10% of annual revenue due to poor-quality CRM data. It's not just about open rates—this means missed renewals, failed upsells, and sponsorships that never closed. (The State of CRM Data Management - Validity)
Personalization isn't just a nice-to-have anymore. AI-powered segmentation delivers up to 760% more email revenue, and it's not magic—it's math. Smart Lists let you trigger personalized workflows from live data instead of manually exporting and filtering lists. (Direct Marketing Association (DMA) via Lifesight)
Automation adoption is lagging—and costing you. Less than 23% of associations have adopted CRM AI or even basic behavioral automation. That means over three-quarters still rely on manual segments and stale exports, even as members expect real-time relevance across channels. (MCI AI Adoption Survey 2024)
And here's the reality: large organizations with regional chapters, international chapters, and multilingual audiences feel this pain the most. The more complex your structure, the more broken your engagement loop becomes without dynamic segmentation.
Region Leaders Took the Leap—and Saw Results Fast
Region Leaders is a civic leadership nonprofit based in Northwest Indiana, focused on building cross-sector leadership pipelines. However, as their programs scaled, outdated systems and static outreach lists made it harder to engage members consistently.
With Glue Up's Smart Lists, they automated segmentation, reactivated quiet members, and replaced manual tracking with real-time, behavior-based targeting. So, if you're scaling regionally or globally, CRM AI and Smart Lists aren't future-state ideas. They're the infrastructure you need now to drive retention, relevance, and revenue.

Stop Letting Outdated Lists Drag Your Members—and Team—Down
