Once the user submits their email and/or mobile number, gocertify will send this data to the customer’s Bloomreach account, in the form of a “Custom Event” (named “gocertify”). Bloomreach is intelligent enough to either create a new Customer (if the email/phone number is new) or use an existing Customer (if the email/phone number is already in your platform).

After that screen, when the user successfully verifies as a target group (student, healthcare, senior, etc) a second “Custom Event” (named “gocertify” as well) will be triggered, including the details of the verification.

With this data, you will be able to generate segments based on these events.

Requirements to go live

To start syncing data you’ll need to create a new API user and share the details with your gocertify account manager.

How data will appear in Bloomreach

You will end up having one Contact with 2 events (one for the “consent intent” and another one after they verify as a group and claim an offer).

Remember you still need to subscribe the customer to your marketing campaigns.

First Bloomreach Event

Your second event can have two forms, depending on whether the shopper has verified as a group or not.

Second Bloomreach Event for verified groups

For external offers that don't require verification (often included in the OfferHub), the Second request will be slightly different, as it won't include the “group_xxx” keys

Custom fields

If you have added custom fields (like “First name”, “Preferred dress size”, “Department preference”, etc) in your DataCapture form, these custom fields will be included in both events.

By default, we will use a generic key for these fields (e.g. “first_name”, “preferred_dress_size”, “department_preference”, etc). If you need to use a different key, please let us know and we will update the mapping.

Additionally, it’s also possible to sync one or more of these custom fields to your Customer profile. To do this, just let us know which fields you want to sync and we will add them to the mapping.

Remember to enable the desired fields under the “Customer properties” section too in the API settings.

How to create segments in Bloomreach

You can build segments based on the Custom Events we have sent to your account, by going to “Customers” and then creating filters, like the one below:

Bloomreach Filters

You can use the “state” attribute to filter all the Customers that have given you consent for marketing or the ones that are verified as a group or simply claimed an offer.

When the filter is ready, in the top right corner of that filter you will see the option to save this filter for later.

You can even run automations on your end based on these filters.
