Sailthru: Export Audiences (Lifecycle Optimizer)
Sailthru Lifecycle Optimizer allows you to automate email campaigns based on user events, such as entering an audience. By exporting your Lytics audiences in real-time, you can activate automated interactions with your users immediately as changes to their profiles are processed.
Integration Details
- Implementation Type: Server-side.
- Implementation Technique: REST API with audience triggers or other
- Frequency: Real-time.
- Resulting data: A Sailthru list containing users currently in the Lytics audience. The name of Sailthru audience will be "Lytics " followed by the audience name that is being exported (e.g. Lytics All). Any user fields selected in the configuration will be sent and associated with the user in Sailthru.
This integration utilizes the Sailthru API to send user data. Once the export is started the job will:
- Make a scan of the current members of the Lytics audience and send them to Sailthru via the
/user
endpoint. If a corresponding audience does not yet exist in Sailthru, one will be created. - The job will listen for changes to the Lytics audience being exported. Users are sent to Sailthru one at a time via the
/user
endpoint. - When new users enter the audience, they will be added to the corresponding Sailthru audience.
- When users leave the audience, they will be removed from the Sailthru audience.
Fields
By default, Lytics exports the following fields to Sailthru
Lytics User Field | Description | Sailthru Field | Type |
---|---|---|---|
Email Address | string |
