Qualtrics, a software technology company, and Twilio, a customer engagement platform, have announced they are expanding their partnership and introducing a new no-code connector that allows real-time data sharing and integration between the Twilio Segment customer data platform (CDP) and Qualtrics’ Experience iD (XiD). According to company officials, the combined view of operational engagement data like content engagement, purchases, user logins and cart abandonments in Twilio Segment with qualitative data like customer satisfaction and effort scores in XiD creates richer customer profiles and more actionable insights. Available at no extra cost, the integration is available in the Segment Integration Catalog as both a Source and Destination.“Twilio has world-class capabilities to capture interaction data and put it to use,” Brad Anderson, president of products and engineering at Qualtrics, said in a statement. “Our partnership combines the behavioral signals captured by Twilio Segment with Qualtrics XiD, providing customers with an understanding of the key factors impacting their customers' experience by analyzing both structured feedback and unstructured feedback using Qualtrics conversational analytics.”
