Customer.io Journeys

Visual lifecycle automations using player events and attributes, with branching, subscription preferences and message experiments.

The offering

What Customer.io Journeys does

Journeys is Customer.io’s customer-engagement automation offering. Its visual builder connects customer, event and account data to workflows, with segment/event/date/webhook triggers, branching and channel actions. Subscription preferences, A/B testing and conversion goals support campaign configuration and measurement. The supplier’s current iGaming guide describes relevant operator/player lifecycle use cases.

Maintain eligibility and permission changes in the connected data, then test the audience, branches and exclusions before launch. Choose channels against the supplier’s current policy: US and Canadian gambling SMS traffic is prohibited on all number types, apart from the stated narrow bingo exceptions. Size the plan using people/object profiles and message volumes, and define how external webhook responses are checked.
