Searching for Personas
AIQ offers several ways to find personas quickly and accurately:
Search by unique ID (email or phone number)
This is the most reliable way to locate an individual persona and will return an exact match.Search by full name
Enter the full name (for example, Susan Green) to return only that exact match. Partial name searches will return broader results.Search by Source ID
Searching by Source ID returns only exact matches tied to that identifier.
You can further refine your results using table filters such as contact information, subscription status, and source.

Persona Page FAQ
Why does the points column on the persona page not match up to the persona's points total when opening up their details?
The persona page points column is a cached value, rely on the points balance from within the persona card as the source of truth of the customer's points balance.
How do I see previously imported files?
Navigate to Customers > Personas
Click on the more (...) icon in the top right corner of the personas table
