Count an unsaved dynamic filter before you create the segment, as the segment dialog's live count does: how many contacts match, how many of them a campaign would mail, and a sample (which also needs contacts:read). It reads with the same filter builder the send uses. Nothing is saved. Requires the segments:read capability.

FieldTypeDescription
filterrequiredobjectThe filter to count, as a dynamic segment's `filter`. Dynamic segments only: the saved filter, evaluated live. A condition on a custom field uses the field's default_value for any contact with no value (key missing or null), the same value merge tags use; defaults are never written onto contacts. is_set / is_not_set check whether the contact itself has a value.
