The User Manual has moved! For the most up-to-date information, please visit our new site at docs.antavo.com.

Use loyalty incentives to encourage your customers to provide information about themselves and their shopping habits. With Antavo’s Gamified profiling module, you can ask a set of questions that you would like customers to answer and give points in return for completing the survey by assigning a point value for each question set. You can use the dedicated endpoints of the Display API to add the configured questions flow to your membership site.

After collecting all this information, use this data across marketing activities by creating an export or syncing them to your newsletter provider.

The module introduces the factory profiling_answer and profiling_flow events.

  • The profiling_answer event is registered on the customer’s event history when an answer to a configured question is submitted through a request sent to the Display API.

  • The profiling_flow event is automatically written down if no question, that you have added to a profiling survey, is left unanswered by the customer.

The profiling_answer and profiling_flow events are internal, meaning that these events cannot be registered by sending requests via the Events API.

Table of Contents

Find the configuration page by clicking the (blue star) icon in the main sidebar. The page will open to the list of profiling flows that are already set up with the following information:

  • Name of the flow
    A text label, immediately below the unique ID, specifies if the account is Active or Inactive.

  • Points awarded for answering the questions

Info

In case you use the Multi-language module, all text-type factory configuration fields of both flows and questions are translatable and returned by the Display API if requested. Please note, that custom attributes added in the Custom entities module cannot be translated on the platform.

Note that if answers and tags (that you’ll define under ‘Answer settings’ later on) do not match the format of the selected customer field, then customers won’t be able to answer the question.
