Segment

With this integration, you can leverage data between Attentive and Segment. Receive data from Attentive (such as email addresses and phone numbers collected from a sign-up unit) in Segment to improve the view of the complete customer journey. Send Segment events and identity information to Attentive to trigger Attentive journeys and target customers using Segment data.

Ingestion data

Through this integration, Attentive can receive the following events/attributes from Segment. You can use them as journey triggers and in Attentive's segment builder.

• Track events
• Attributes on Identify events
• Personas Custom Traits
• Attributes on Personas Audiences: The name of the attribute is the Audience name, and the attribute’s value is a boolean representing whether the user is in the Audience or not.
