Airship: Export Audiences
Export your Lytics audiences to Airship to use Lytics-powered insights in your mobile campaigns. Use your advanced data science driven audiences in Lytics as your push targets in Airship.
Integration Details
- Implementation Type: Server-side.
- Implementation Technique: REST API with file based transfer.
- Frequency: One-time batch export, or continuous hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly exports where the time of day can be configured.
- Resulting Data: A new or existing list in Airship populated with channel identifiers from Lytics users.
This integration utilizes the Airship APIs to create a static list of users. Users without an email channel will be registered and associated with a named user ID if available. Once the user initiates an export, the job will:
- On the first run, the export will create a static list in Airship. If an existing list was selected during configuration, this step is skipped.
- Scan through the users in the Lytics audience.
- For any users with an email address, but no email channel ID, register the email address with Airship.
- Associate newly created email channel ID with the named user ID.
- Build a CSV containing user channel identifier types and identifiers.
- Update the list in Airship with the user CSV.
Note: Large audiences may take longer than an hour to export.
