How the preezie dotdigital integration works
When activated, all of your users completing a lead form at the ened of a preezie journey will be passed directly into your dotdigital account as contacts. In addition, all of their answers to the quiz questions and their product recommendations will also be passed as Insight Collections.
It uses Dotdigital’s public api to authenticate with your credentials and pass data directly into your account in real-time.
Example scenarios
Email the user’s product recommendations directly to their inbox
e.g. Here are your top product recommendations: 1) Pure Bright Eye Shadow, 2) Tinted Lip Balm
Re-target these users with email campaigns directly related to their answers/product recommendations
e.g. Target all emails with a budget >$100 and looking for organic products
Segment these users with specific flows based on their answers/product recommendations
e.g. Create a segment who have an answer of “I’m a make up beginner” > email them content tips on make up tutorials

Create a segment with your data
Using the preezie data within your Insight collections you can now directly create segments and even email content using this dynamic data.
In Dotdigital > Segments (https://r3-app.dotdigital.com/contactmanager/#/audience/segments/all)
New Segment > Blank template > Name your segment (e.g. Over $500 budget)
Drag preezie_qa from the Data panel into Include contacts section on the right
>click to select preezie_qa data > Select data field > answers
Note, this will allow you to use journey answer data, but you can choose any of the data fields here
Enter the journey answer text you want to match on, e.g. Over $500 > Okay
This will now generate a segment of all Contacts who have answered Over $500
Note, this can be used across all journeys if you have the same answer across multiple journeys
This will immediately show you how many Contacts match that segment so you can now start sending campaigns!
