Connect your Iterable account with Lexer
Connecting your Lexer and Iterable account will allow Lexer to start capturing customer engagement data like email opens, clicks, and subscriber statuses. To connect your Iterable account with Lexer you must first create a Webhook within Iterable. Once your webhook is created, you will generate an API key within Iterable, and save that back into Lexer completing the connection.

What is the Iterable activation?
Iterable is a growth marketing platform, with a focus on email, SMS, in-app and web push marketing communications.
Connecting your Iterable account with Lexer allows you to create new lists, and update existing ones for marketing purposes. When you make a new list or update an existing one, the Lexer activation will append a boolean field to each Profile within that list, marking them as either in (TRUE) or out (FALSE) of the Segment.
Send a Segment to Iterable
Before you get started, make sure you’ve done the following:
- Integrated your Iterable account with Lexer.
- Created an activation to Iterable (reach out to Lexer Support (support@lexer.io) if not)
- Built your Segment/s in Lexer Segment.

Lexer Activate permits you to automatically update your audiences within Iterable. With this selected, Lexer will add or remove customers from your audience as they enter and leave your Segment.
Okay I’ve sent my audience, what next?
The moment your activation has been confirmed as sent in Activate, you’ll see records begin to update in Iterable. We’ll send you an email to let you know once an audience has been sent - the time this takes will vary, depending on the size of the audience.
