Friendbuy Destination
UpdatedAbout this integration
Friendbuy is a referral marketing platform. This integration helps you capture data from your sources in Friendbuy, helping you enable referral programs. For example, you might trigger a reward for a customer when a referred person signs up for your service. With this destination, you can automate referrals from source events.
There are two versions of this integration
You’ll see two entries for Friendbuy in our integration catalog, with one labeled Web. We typically recommend that you use the standard integration, the one not labeled “Web” when possible. The web version of this integration only works with our JavaScript client and does not pass data through Customer.io’s servers, which can make it hard to debug your integration, capture a history of events sent to the integration, and so on. Learn more about Web integrations.
