The platform provides full flexibility in defining audiences, allowing businesses to create segments based on user attributes like acquisition channels, technology used, demographics, and custom analytics data, as well as behavioral audiences based on website or app interactions. The data activation capabilities are extensive, with integration to thousands of destinations through webhooks and automation tools, including CRMs, ad platforms, email marketing tools, and internal communication channels.
