Create contextual data
Go beyond profile data
Group your audience based on how they relate to your business data with custom objects. If you have data about something in your business, you can create an object for it. Each object has its own attributes that you can use to personalize campaigns and broadcasts.
Say goodbye to siloed data
Custom objects enable one-to-many relationships, meaning you can relate one object to multiple people (or vice versa). Once your relationships are in place, you can create segments for personalized campaigns or broadcasts.
Message your audience based on relationships
Put all your data to work
Tailor your messages based on things your customers create, buy, schedule, or interact with. Deliver personalized experiences at scale.
Tap into the power of relational data
Custom objects let you bring more of your business’ data into Customer.io Journeys, making segmentation even more powerful yet simple.
How do custom objects work?
Types of objects
An object type defines the one-to-many relationship you want to set, like accounts, employers, or job postings.
Creating objects
Create objects within the platform or automate it with API, reverse ETL, or Segment group calls.
Object attributes
Each object has its own attributes that you can use with Liquid to personalize your messages.
Relating objects to people
Create relationships between objects and people to segment users based on the groups they belong to and personalize messages with object data.
