# 13.3 Create a segment

## 13.3.1 Introduction

You'll create a simple segment:

* **Interest in Equipment** for which customer profiles will qualify when they visit the **Equipement** page of the Luma demo website.

### Good to know

Real-time CDP will trigger an activation to a destination when you qualify for a segment that is part of that destination's activation list. When that is the case, the segment qualification payload that will be send to that destination will contain **all the segments for which your profile qualifies**.

The goal of this module is to show that your Customer Profile's segment qualification is sent to **your** event hub destination in real-time.

### Segment Status

A segment qualification in Adobe Experience Platform always has a **status**-property and can be one of the following:

* **realized**: this indicates a new segment qualification
* **existing**: this indicates an existing segment qualification
* **exited**: this indicates that the profile does no longer qualify for the segment

## 13.3.2 Build the segment

### PQL Definition

The PQL of your segment looks like:

```
CHAIN(xEvent, timestamp, [C0: WHAT(web.webPageDetails.name.equals("equipment", false) and _experienceplatform.demoEnvironment.brandName.contains("--demoProfileLdap--", false))])
```
