Configuring Integration with Magento 2 (with extension)

The Dialog Insight for Magento extension is a free plugin that lets you synchronize your Magento clients and transactional information into the Dialog Insight application.

You can use this valuable information to create automated campaigns for product recommendations, and track your clients' purchase behaviors to better personalize your messages.


The integration between the two platforms provides great benefits:

  • synchronize your clients' data and transactional information
  • personalize your messages with product recommendations
  • send promotions and cart abandonment follow-ups
  • know who your best clients are and send them targeted campaigns
  • view your campaigns' performance
  • synchronize the subscription to your communications of a contact who has an account on the customer's Magento 2 store. Subscriptions retrieved by a form that requests an email are not retrieved at Dialog Insight.
