Can I target my Statsig experiment to only male users?

Jiakan Wang (Statsig): Hi <@U066WST9VCL> - sorry that we missed your question earlier. Yes you can target your experiment to only M gender users if you’d like, as long as you use our SDK to get the experiment assignment for each user, which is a requirement if you want to run experiments using Statsig anyways.
When you use the SDK in your app, you need to tell us about the user in the code, including their user ID, and any metadata / attribute that you know about them, including the gender if you’d like, so in this case your user could look like this
userID: '123',
custom: {
gender: 'M',
tier: 'pro',
}
}```
Then for your experiment, you can [target](https://docs.statsig.com/statsig-warehouse-native/features/targeting#how-to-target-experiments) only people whose gender is ‘M’, so that those who are not ‘M’ won’t be participating in the experiment.

At Notion, we're continuously learning what our users value and want every team to run experiments to learn more. It’s also critical to maintain speed as a habit. Statsig's experimentation platform enables both this speed and learning for us.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.

We only had so many analysts. Statsig provided the necessary tools to remove the bottleneck. I know that we are able to impact our key business metrics in a positive way with Statsig. We are definitely heading in the right direction with Statsig.
