To set up your own third party native app to use AIQ for sales and marketing, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Get API Credentials
API Key: This is essential for authenticating your app's requests to the AIQ endpoints.
Secret Key: This will be used along with your API key for secure communication.
2. Set Up the API Environment
Create API Endpoints: Use AIQ’s API documentation to understand the endpoints available for integration.
Authentication: Set up authentication using the provided API and Secret Keys.
4. Integrate with AIQ Endpoints
AIQ provides various endpoints for managing sales, marketing, and customer data. Here are some of the key endpoints:
Use this endpoint to add new customers or update existing customer details.
Use this endpoint to push sales data to AIQ.
Use this endpoint to set push notifications opt-in status for contactIDs. This does not send any opt-in requests.
This is required for your 3rd party app to function.
⚠️ Make sure that you are not breaking the law when using this endpoint and only using it as described in this document.⚠️
5. Build Your Native App
Front-End Integration: Use the API endpoints to integrate AIQ’s features into your app’s UI. For example, show customer loyalty points, display personalized offers, etc.
Backend Processing: Ensure your backend system processes API calls to and from AIQ, managing customer data, sales transactions, and marketing campaigns.
6. Testing and Deployment
Test End-to-End Flow: Make sure to thoroughly test all integrations in a staging environment before moving to production.
Monitor and Optimize: After deployment, continuously monitor the API usage and app performance. Use AIQ’s analytics to optimize your marketing strategies and sales processes.
