Customer.io vs. Dialpad Support

This tool is well-suited for companies looking to run email marketing campaigns or send out newsletters regularly to their users/customers. The workflow setup is especially useful for companies who want to send specific emails based on user behavior - i.e. they've not logged in recently, have bought a specific product, haven't opened any emails, etc. This could also be useful for freelancers like me since you can create different workspaces within Customer.io. I have configured it this way to handle email marketing for a few of my clients, and the software keeps everything organized and separate. This might not be the best tool for small businesses, considering the price. It may be better to start out with a cheaper email marketing tool, and then if/when necessary, scale-up with a tool like Customer.io.

We have a mix of Dialpad Support and regular Departments in Dialpad Support - we mostly use Dialpad Support for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Dialpad Support doesn't make sense to use to we have them setup as Departments instead.

• Managing users, attributes and events. You are easily able to modify any user, based on their ID, and add or remove attributes, assign events to them. That makes it very easy to segment later and to assign them to several campaigns based on behavior. Just a warning: this integration isn't so easy (at least it wasn't for us).
• Creating workflows of campaigns is very easy. You can quickly create behavioral campaigns based on attributes, segments and add elements to the workflow. You can send an email, then wait, then send another, then exit the campaign if they converted, etc. The workflow is easy to configure and very powerful for automation.
• We don't use many email templates (we make them in MJML) but it's very easy to add senders, to change templates and in general to test designs.
• Deliverability works very well, at least for us. It sends emails pretty fast and without issues.
• Exporting is very quick and easy. Importing wasn't a feature until recently, but it works well too.
• Seeing activity it's also useful. In general, logs are awesome (be it of a customer, of activity on the site, email sends, etc.).
• We don't use environments, but it might be very useful for a bigger company.

• The ease of use and integration into our local IT infrastructure
• It improved business process agility especially for the work from home agents
• It improved our customer relations/service with fewer dropped calls
• It gives managers better reporting capabilities and call usage statistics

• Customer.io needs to be more known! I don't know why they don't come up as a direct competitor to Iterable and Braze.
• Their new Design Studio drag + drop tool could be improved with further customization.
• Reports aren't the strongest - I use Amplitude to do all my Customer.io reporting.

• Support chat use weird Japanese
• Never provide update information beforehand which sometime make confusion and troubles that Google cloud platform made

I have never had any issues with getting a problem resolved. The dialpad support team is responsive and extremely helpful. As busy as our business is getting, having the AI transcripts and call recordings aid us in being more task productive when helping patients. Other than the patient aspect of it, having no hardware maintenance is amazing

Customer.io has drag-and-drop functionality for their campaigns that is very fun and intuitive to use. The audience build functionality strikes the right balance between usability and meticulousness. They also have an array of actions -- time delays, time windows, waitUntils -- that allow you to customize the timing of messages.

I always get great customer service when I need help. Even if i just decide to chat online instead of calling in. The reps are always so nice and the customer service is always amazing. I have never had any complaints. Usually my issues are pretty simple and they never make it harder than it needs to be

I have never contacted support.

Customer.io was really the first pure, full-featured drip email program on the market and as far as I know, it's still the simplest and best overall for that specific function. SendGrid has also added drip campaign features, but I would seriously evaluate Customer.io against any other drip email provider because they really have all the key elements you need to make it work.

We looked at Aria, but we already had Dialpad Support and decided just to move forward with more features. I think the familiarity with the Dialpad app and the basic features made the addition of new features a much more seamless process rather than attempting to try dual software.

• Positive impact on the sales side. I'm not sure about the specific ROI (you have to include the designer and the time it takes to set up) but you certainly get back the investment in a few months, once you are able to scale your email marketing.
• Customer experience is way better by having more segmented, contextual and accurate messages sent to them.
• Integration is costly and it will take several days or weeks to be fully achieved. Expect to invest some money on this.

• The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
• The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
• The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
