Use both in the same GTM workflow
Use Metadata to bring people to your offer through paid campaigns. Use Customer.io to send relevant messages after a signup or another event your team tracks.
What each tool contributes
Metadata helps your team build, run and optimize B2B paid campaigns across connected advertising accounts.
Customer.io supports automated messaging workflows triggered by the criteria and events you define. Teams can use workflow conditions and waits to decide when a person receives a message.
| Tool | Role in this workflow |
|---|---|
| Metadata | Paid demand generation and campaign execution |
| Customer.io | Lifecycle messaging and event-triggered follow-up |
Plan a shared workflow
The following is a workflow to configure for your team. It is not a report of a tested customer deployment.
- Run a paid campaign in Metadata and send people to a clear landing page or signup flow.
- Send the signup or product event to Customer.io through your configured data connection, with the identity and consent fields your workflow needs.
- Use Customer.io to trigger the appropriate follow-up. Track that messaging separately from the paid campaign so your team can assess each step.
Check the handoff
Check event names, identity matching, consent and suppression rules. Test who enters and exits each messaging workflow. Preserve campaign context where your data setup supports it, and agree on how you will measure acquisition and follow-up.
Give the handoff an owner. Verify the available connections and required fields before treating the process as automatic.
