Connection updates

Facebook Conversions API now supported in Facebook Advertising Connection

A new export goal using Facebook Conversions API functionality was added to the Facebook Advertising Connection. This new goal, "Export profile data to Facebook," allows you to share BlueConic Timeline events with Facebook to better measure and optimize advertising on Facebook.

Timeline event import/export added to Snowflake Connection

In the Snowflake Connection, a step to import and export BlueConic Timeline event data was added to reduce setup time and eliminate the need for CSV files. 

In step 6 of the import goal page, you can import data from Snowflake into BlueConic Timeline events by selecting a Timeline event type and mapping the correct Snowflake fields into the corresponding event properties.

New Airship Connection added

A new connection for Airship is now available, allowing you to enrich BlueConic profiles with Airship data, as well as export profiles to Airship. Airship allows companies to generate custom messages to consumers via notifications like push notifications and SMS messages. By connecting your Airship account with BlueConic, you can reach a wider audience and create more dynamic segments.

New Copernica Connection added

A new connection for Copernica is also now available, allowing you to enrich BlueConic profiles with data from Copernica subscribers (and vice versa). By connecting BlueConic with Copernica—an email marketing automation tool—you can provide relevant, individualized email content to your recipients.

Authentication method updated for HubSpot Connection

Due to recent changes in the HubSpot authentication API, the authentication method used in the HubSpot Connection was updated. Please contact your Customer Support Manager with any questions.
