Optimove

Optimove is a customer data platform (CDP) that helps you precisely target and message your audience based on their activities in your app or on your website. With this integration, you can trigger Airship automations from the events that you set up in Optimove.

In this integration, you will:

• Set up custom event automations in Airship as Templates for triggered messaging campaigns in Optimove.
• Create Triggered Campaigns in Optimove, selecting events that you want to trigger your campaign and setting your Airship automation as an Optimove Template.

When Optimove registers the events specified in your campaign, it issues a custom event to Airship (using the event name you specified in your Airship automation) to trigger the automation and send a message to your audience.
