Salesforce Marketing Cloud

How We Work Together

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a customer data platform that allows you to trigger real-time messaging and enter users into marketing “Journeys” based on Pilgrim events triggered by your users. You can also set up a Data Extension within Salesforce which allows Pilgrim events to feed data into the Data Extension, effectively creating a database of Visits and Geofences for each user that can be used to create segments, track user visits to specific POIs, etc.

Examples of What You Can Do

Create marketing “Journeys” to customize in-app interactions with your users.

Trigger real-time messaging based on Visit and Geofence events.

Make sure the Pilgrim SDK is properly setup.
Optionally, set any user specific ID in using the setUserId method of PilgrimUserInfo in the Pilgrim SDK.
