SendinBlue

Lytics Customer Data Platform allows you to use real-time customer activity across various channels to trigger SendinBlue workflows. Instead of a static, list-based approach to automation workflows, Lytics allows you to create dynamic audience segments that sync with SendinBlue and update in real-time as customers flow in and out of them. For example, a segment of known visitors with an affinity for a certain topic could trigger an email workflow with targeted messaging.

Getting Started: Authorize the Account

To set up and authorize the Lytics SendinBlue integration, log into your Lytics account and click on the Data menu tab.

You’ll see a list of available integrations organized alphabetically in tiles. Scroll down and click on the SendinBlue tile.

You will always have two options, to Export Users from Lytics into SendinBlue or to Import Users & Activity from SendinBlue. Either option will prompt you to setup the integration if it’s your first time. You should see this setup screen after clicking one of the buttons:

conect

Click on “Add Account” and you’ll be prompted to enter your API key and a short description. You can describe your authorization in any way you like. This can be a useful way to tell multiple integrations apart.
