What is contextual data?
Contextual data provides a detailed understanding of customer traits and interactions. It connects objective, behavioral, and conversational data points so you can tap into insights about each customer’s relationship with your business. You can then apply those insights across sales, support, and marketing touchpoints to create differentiated experiences for every customer.
How it works
How Unified Profiles work
A single view of each customer
Our Unified Profiles API collects and unifies contextual data from data warehouses, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, websites, applications, and other sources into a single view of each customer. Data governance and identity resolution help ensure the data you’re using is clean, compliant, and accurate for the most reliable insights.
Build true 1-to-1 connections
All customers have their own Unified Profile that can be used to create deeply personalized experiences, which boost engagement at every step of the customer journey.
Enhance Flex or Voice experiences
Unified Profiles can address use cases across the customer experience. Start with Segment Unify to build your profiles and activate them anywhere. Level up customer care when you activate Unified Profiles across Twilio Flex and Twilio Voice.
