Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) Destination

Updated

About this integration

VWO is an optimization platform that helps you run experiments on your web platforms to derive insights from visitor behavior and harness the results to amp up your conversion rates. It lets you run experiments and personalize your platform for different cohorts, includes a full stack implementation, and lets you directly deploy changes based on your experiments.

This destination supports both cloud and direct modes

Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) supports cloud and direct modes. In general, we recommend that you use the cloud mode destination, so that you capture data in Customer.io and can easily debug your implementation, capture a history of events, and so on.

Getting started: cloud mode

  1. Go to the Data Pipelines tab and click Connections.

  2. Click Add New under Destinations.

  3. Select the Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) destination.

  4. (Optional) Select the sources that you want to connect to this destination. You can always connect sources to your destination later. We’ll only show you eligible sources.

  5. Configure your destination.

    1. Vwo Account Id: Enter your VWO Account ID

    2. Apikey: VWO Fullstack SDK Key. It is mandatory when using the VWO Fullstack suite.
