Sending your data to ReSci
Our activation to Retention Science relies on their SFTP protocols, for a detailed understanding see their support articles on file formats and historical vs delta files.
Get in touch with your Lexer Success manager for any specific requirements you have. By default we will configure your activation to send a Daily File using the Users file schema.
- Click ACTIVATE NEW AUDIENCE to get started
- Select the appropriate ReSci config (here we can support different schemas, or file types)
- Add your Segment(s)
- Update the audience name, this will become the name of your CSV and Segment. When naming your activation you'll need to append the schema type to the start of the file. This will ensure ReSci's automation will collect the file. This guide will help you. The activation name will also be appended to a lexer_segment field within ReSci, you can use this to then build a Segment within ReSci for targeting.
- Agree to terms, and click SEND AUDIENCE
You're done!
