Segments API

Unlike the Company Identification API Key and Enrichment API keys, which can be retrieved directly from the 6sense platform, the Segments API key requires a different process.

Important notes:

• You do not need to select specific segments when requesting this API key, as the API will return all available segments
• This API key is required to retrieve active segments for design and personalization purposes in Folloze

 

6Sense credits

6Sense API credits are required to access the mentioned APIs. Please reach out to your 6Sense CSM to get access to these APIs.

Personalizing account data

Once 6sense transfers all account data to Folloze, this data is available to you in the Folloze personalization studio. Here, you can create new personalization rules based on the fields defined in the 6sense dictionary.
Rules indicated with a [6S] mark are additional fields from 6sense, beyond the standard OOTB personalization fields offered by Folloze. 

1. Select the board you wish to personalize.
2. Go to the Personalization studio tab.
3. Select Add alternative rule or Create rules block. All personalization fields are available from 6sense.                                                                                                          
4. Select a rule and apply the rule to your board viewer. After the API key is activated, Folloze pulls only 6sense data into the rule options.

6sense segments 

6sense data segmentation allows you to create dynamic segments based on a variety of data elements, such as intent, industry and account buying stage. You can leverage these segments to deliver a personalized experience by creating Folloze personalization rules for a specific segment.
Mapping to 6sense segments directly in the Folloze Personalization Studio enables you to deliver a  highly-targeted experience to customers. Since segmentation is dynamic, meaning an account can be added or removed from segments based on data attributes, the account experience can be dynamic based on the account inclusion in segments.
For example, you can define your targeted market segment for an advertising campaign, and then leverage your Folloze board as a destination for displaying ads relevant to a specific segment. In this way, you create unique experiences for different segments coming from different ads.

Analyzing customer engagement

You can track customer engagement in both the Folloze account dashboard and Pulse table. In addition, using the Connector you can track deep engagement in Folloze analytics as well as gain insights in 6sense. To enable tracking from Folloze boards to 6sense, it is recommended that you place the 6sense script tag.

Now that the Folloze + 6sense Connector is all set up, you can start taking advantage of all its exciting capabilities.
