Export contact lists

Overview

In this destination service, DinMo will create external target lists and keep them up to date in Actito.

To do so, you will need to go through these three steps:

  • Creating an Actito destination. Refer to the corresponding section for more info.

  • Creating a user segment composed of all the users that will populate your Actito contact list. Refer to this step-by-step tutorial to learn how to build segments without SQL in DinMo.

  • Activating the segment to the Actito destination to start sending data. Refer to the corresponding section for more info.

Each time the activation will be running:

  • Any new user entering your DinMo segment will be added to your Actito external target list

  • Any user leaving your DinMo segment will be removed from your Actito external target list

  • Any profile attribute changes will be synchronized with Actito, either by updating existing attributes or creating new ones.

In this service, DinMo will not create new contacts in Actito.

Destination setup

To start exporting lists, you are first required to create a Actito destination with the corresponding destination service.

Learn how to create such a destination in our step-by-step tutorial

Activation configuration

Once the destination has been setup, and your DinMo segment created, you can create an activation to start sending data to Actito right away. The segment will be exported as a contact list in Actito.

Activation Name and Description

In this section, the name you enter will be the name given to the external target list created in Actito.

By default, and if you activate your segment using the default activation settings, the name of the list will be the DinMo segment name.

Fields mapping

In the Fields mapping section, you are asked to specify which field corresponds to the email address of the users of the segment. The user can choose between email, phone number, or Actito external ID as the mandatory matching key for the profile sync. The user can select additional profile attributes from the existing options in Actito. The user also has the option to create new custom attributes, which will be added during the first synchronization.

On Actito

Once a Dinmo segment has been exported to an Actito external target list, you can leverage it within the Actito interface by enabling expert mode and selecting the 'File' targeting module. From there, you can choose the relevant external target list containing the synced DinmMo segment.

This allows you to use the segment for targeted campaigns, ensuring that the latest audience data from DinMo is available for activation. Additionally, the expiration date column in Actito provides visibility into how long the last retrieved file remains valid, helping you manage audience efficiently.
