It starts with our robust common schema, allowing you to quickly implement high-value use cases in just minutes. The predefined customer attributes streamline data mapping, letting you focus on results while fully supporting custom solutions as your needs evolve. Our common schema focuses on the following key categories. Identity. Predefined identifiers have been hand-curated to seamlessly aggregate data across all key engagement channels, ensuring native support and minimal maintenance. Associating a customer's email and web activity into a unified profile has never been easier. Consent and governance. Understanding and enforcing customer consent continues to be a critical investment. Lytx provides a means to gather consent preferences with little lift, also enabling adherence to those preferences through our automated segmentation and downstream syncs capabilities. Demographic and geographic. Of course, there is a dedicated home for general customer information such as name, address and location, along with customizable attributes to maintain first-party data such as account type or status. Activity. Build and maintain a comprehensive catalogue of user activity across channels, devices and campaigns. In addition, we'll automatically generate summary attributes, allowing you to easily access insights such as the first UTN collected or the last page visited. Intelligence. Lytx provides valuable out-of-the-box signals and insights related to customer interests and behaviours. These intelligence-based attributes are among the most powerful and actionable features of the platform. In the next video, we'll explore each of these attributes in more detail.
