New Profile Identifiers Insight for targeting and analytics

Our new Profile Identifiers insight shows which unique identifiers are known for a selected segment of profiles. Examples of unique identifiers include login name, email address, customer ID, or phone number. This feature lets you see at a glance how many profiles contain a value for a unique identifier or identifiers.

Having this insight helps you target customers and visitors -- and know which identifier to target for future data collection. Understanding which identifiers are low may also help you to refine forms or to ask for missing information from customers.

Profile matching from BlueConic to BlueConic

You can match identifiable profiles between two BlueConic tenants using the new BlueConic to BlueConic connection. This update lets you optionally specify profile properties that are unique identifiers to be used for matching. If you don't specify profile properties here, BlueConic will match profiles using the BlueConic profile identifier.
