Rudderstack

Set up Customer.io as a Rudderstack source, and use Reporting Webhooks to send email events from your workspace to any of Rudderstack’s destinations.

How it works

Rudderstack takes advantage of reporting webhooks when using Customer.io as a source. Rudderstack converts our webhooks to their event format.

  • A person’s customer_id (a legacy identifier for id) in Customer.io becomes their userId in Rudderstack.
  • If a person doesn’t have an id, Rudderstack sets a person’s email address as an anonymousId.
