Today, we are going to cover a few different topics. First, we'll discuss what a Lytx integration is. Then, we'll discuss the integrations available in Lytx. We'll discuss how to connect your Lytx account to these integrated tools. And finally, we'll show where to find more information about any integration that Lytx offers. Lytx offers pre-built integrations for many of today's most popular marketing tools. These integrations allow you to perform a variety of common tasks, like importing user data, exporting targeted audiences, or bringing in data to enrich user profiles. Let's take a look at all the integrations that are available to you. In the UI, navigate to the Data tab. From here, you are automatically taken to the Jobs page, which shows all of the import and export workflows that have been created in your account. I'll click on this blue Create New Job button in the top right corner of the page to see the list of all of the available integrations that we have. The majority of these integrations are API-enabled, which means that you'll be able to establish a connection with these systems and sync audiences from Lytx with relative ease, often with just a click of a button. The frequency of the import or export will vary for each integration. For example, Facebook will allow us to sync audiences in real time, as users enter or exit a Lytx audience. Other systems may only sync every hour or so. Some may only allow you to import user data into Lytx, while others may only accept audiences from Lytx. Documentation on what each integration supports specifically is available at learn.lytx.com. There are a few ways to navigate there. The first is just to click the documentation link on the bottom of an integration tile. This will show an overview of how to authorize a tool, what you can do with the tool, and the frequency of its workflows. The other way to get to this documentation page is to visit learn.lytx.com directly. From here, you can hover over documentation and navigate to integrations, or you can scroll down and click on integrations below. You'll see the same list of integration styles as you would while logged into your Lytx account. And once again, clicking into an integration will show the details of its workflows. I'm going to talk about how to set up a new integration. For any integration that you'll connect to Lytx, you'll first need to set up an authorization by providing credentials that will allow you to access the data in that tool. This setup will vary from provider to provider. It's important that the credentials added to an account have appropriate permissions for the actions you want to perform. An authorization that has read-only access to a tool may not be sufficient for exporting audiences to it. Let's take a look at a few examples, like Google Ads and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Again, we'll click the create new job button, and then select Google Ads. From here, we can choose the workflow type, which will be export audiences. We can choose from the authorizations that have been previously added to the account, or create a new authorization if we have not previously set one up. Authorizing a Google Ads account is as simple as selecting the Google account that you have been logged into and granting permission to Lytx. Once an authorization is selected, you can configure the details of the job, like the audience to export, or the Google Ads account that we will be sending this audience to. Once you have configured your job, you can click the start export button and send the audience to that tool. I'll show Salesforce Marketing Cloud. First, I'll click create a new job and select the integration that we'll be using. We can then choose the type of workflow we'd like to use. The jobs available do vary from integration to integration. This jobs page will show it's available, and again, learn.lytx.com will have these all documented in full detail. I'll just use export audiences for now. In this case, we will need to create a new authorization because none have been previously added. Click create a new authorization, and we can see that there are multiple authorization methods available for use. These do vary from provider to provider. For example, this REST API token just requires a client ID and a client secret key for access. Once you have added these from your Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you could click save authorizations to continue. Authorizations generally only need to be created once for each tool. Once you have created an authorization, you or anyone else in your organization can use that authorization to sync audiences or import data from that tool. You can see the list of all authorizations that have been added into your account by clicking on the authorizations link underneath the data tab. This will show the list of available authorizations in your account, along with who created the tool and when it was created. Clicking into an authorization will show any associated jobs to that authorization, as well as some metrics about its import or export workflows. When creating a new workflow, you can also see the list of which tools are currently authorized in your account. Under create a new job, I'm going to toggle this filter here to only show the connected tools. This will only include the tools that have already been authorized for use with Linux. Anything with this connected symbol here will be authorized for your account. For tools that do not have a built in Linux integration, you can also connect to those using custom integrations, which allow you to import or export CSV or JSON files. Webhooks can also be configured for API enabled systems as well. Once again, these workflows vary from tool to tool. Learn.Linux will always be the best resource for the most up-to-date information on what is supported for each integration.
