What is Customer.io?

What is Customer.io?

Customer.io is great for building segmented onboarding funnels within your product (e.g. a series of emails and push notifications based on the onboarding flow).

It allows you to manage all of your communication flows with the customer in a visual way.

We've been seeing more and more companies switch over to this due to their flexibility of native integrations.

You can also do things like push app sign-ups and in-app events to a shared channel in Slack, or even use it to automatically push out updates to shared Slack Connect channels.
