Salesforce Interaction Studio

Salesforce Interaction Studio was released as an extension to Salesforce Marketing Cloud for providing real-time customer behaviour tracking and customer experience customization. This real-time reporting can be across channels like a brand's website, social media accounts, mobile apps etc. A single engagement profile is created for a user’s interaction with all the different channels a brand has. This provides a holistic view of the customer’s interaction and subsequently, Salesforce Marketing Cloud can be used to follow-up with relevant content, promotions, discounts etc.

Interaction Studio has native compatibility with Marketing Cloud Journey Builder and can be used to instantly target using a journey or even switch the journey according to real-time interaction with the brand.

The main features of Salesforce Interaction Studio when used for tracking the customer journey are:

1. A single portal for cross-channel customer insights

Salesforce Interaction Studio can help a brand streamline their different customer interaction channels. This can be used to develop a more accurate and real-time profile of the user which can be used to re-engage or segment the customers. The segments can be used for better targeted engagement and lead to a higher conversion rate or better customer experience.

2. A single portal for cross-channel customer insights

Salesforce Interaction studio allows a brand to connect a customer’s interactions with the brands different channels, known as ‘touchpoints’ into a single stitched experience. This can be used to guide customers in their preferred channels by providing custom interactions and also maintain a consistent brand experience. Important context can also be included in the customer journey. Salesforce Interaction studio also supports non-digital touchpoints like ATMs, in-store touchpoints, call centers etc.

3. Real-time results

Salesforce Interaction Studio’s native connectivity with the Salesforce platform allows real-time communication of the customer's status with your sales or marketing teams. This can be used to trigger events, alert your engagement team about the customers current status or communicate across your different channels.
