Behaviour-driven messaging across email, SMS and push

Visit official site

What Customer.io is

A messaging platform driven by what users actually do. Behaviour events feed visual workflows that send email, SMS, push, in-app or transactional messages at the moment they matter.

Segmentation runs on first-party data you send in, so campaigns can target by real attributes rather than by list membership alone.

What you can do with it

  • Trigger a message from a product event
  • Build onboarding, retention and win-back workflows
  • Segment audiences on first-party data
  • Send transactional messages through the same platform
  • Orchestrate several channels in one workflow
  • Draft copy and translate it with AI assistance
  • Get suggested send times

Who it is for

  • SaaS and app teams running lifecycle campaigns
  • E-commerce and membership businesses
  • Growth teams working across several channels
  • Teams with product event data already flowing

What to watch out for

  • Value depends heavily on event and attribute quality
  • Design the user journey before automating, or workflows multiply without results
  • Consent and unsubscribe handling need checking per channel and region
  • Transactional and marketing traffic have different deliverability rules

Pros & cons
