How do I build an audience of visitors who viewed more than a few pages?
I want a newsletter prompt that only shows once someone is clearly into the content, not on the very first page they land on. Basically wait until they have poked around a bit in the current visit.
how do I threshold on the number of pages someone has viewed this session?

Session stats has a pageviews counter, so:
session's stats' pageviews > 3That holds off the prompt until they are a few pages deep in the visit. Since it is visit-scoped it resets each new session rather than accumulating across visits, which is usually what you want for an in-the-moment nudge like a newsletter prompt.
Pageviews alone can be noisy (someone bouncing through a nav counts too), so I pair it with time on site for a stronger engagement signal:
session's stats' pageviews > 3 and session's duration > 2 minutessession also exposes duration, landingPage and referrer, so you have a few knobs. The session duration plus orders thread has another combination if you want ideas. It all evaluates in real time as the audience on the slot.
Adding duration was the right call, the prompt feels a lot less pushy now.
