I’d like to create a retargeting list for contacts who are currently stuck in a specific deal stage by creating a segment. However, I want to filter the contacts based on a custom date range (for example, January 2024 to December 2024).

When building the segment in HubSpot, the furthest-back relative date options I can find for the Last Activity Date property are “Last Year” and “Last 365 Days.”

Is there a way to filter contacts by a specific custom date range for Last Activity Date, or is there another workaround to achieve this?

Hi @FIidabashi,

In the dropdown right above (currently hidden in your screenshot by the options), you should be able to change to a “between” filter with exact dates.

The UI is slightly different here but it illustrates the point:
