Consent Orchestration
Syncs purpose-level consent choices into Customer.io alongside preference updates, so messaging respects both subscription state and consent.
Ketch and Customer.io
Manage subscription preferences at the exact topic-and-channel granularity Customer.io itself supports, and return a genuinely complete picture on every access request.
About Customer.io
Customer.io sends data-driven email, push, in-app, and SMS messages for marketers who want real control over targeting logic. That control depends on tracking subscription preferences at a granular topic-and-channel level, and a rights request against Customer.io needs to return the full breadth of what the platform tracks: not just a profile, but activity history, message history, and subscription state together.
Ketch connects to Customer.io to manage both.
Capabilities
How Ketch works with Customer.io
The Ketch Customer.io integration covers Consent Orchestration, Rights Orchestration (Right to Access, Right to Delete), and Preference Orchestration.
Preference Orchestration
Maps each Ketch topic and contact method combination to a specific Customer.io topic and channel name; a granted subscription sets that specific topic/channel combination to subscribed, any other status sets it to unsubscribed, and a global consent denial triggers a full global unsubscribe. If a particular topic-and-channel mapping is missing, or the named topic or channel doesn't exist in Customer.io, that specific combination is simply skipped rather than blocking the rest.
Rights Orchestration
Right to Access returns four distinct categories of data per email address: customer attributes (profile fields, subscription preferences, timestamps), customer activities (event and delivery history), customer messages (sent message history including campaign and broadcast details), and customer subscriptions (topic-level preferences). Right to Delete removes the customer record by email address using Customer.io's Tracking API.
With Ketch, teams can
- Manage subscription preferences at the exact topic-and-channel granularity Customer.io itself supports
- Get a genuinely complete access response covering attributes, activity, messages, and subscriptions together, not a partial slice
- Fulfill deletion requests through Customer.io's own Tracking API
The gap
The problem this integration solves
A platform built for granular, multi-channel targeting needs preference management and rights fulfillment that match that same granularity:
01. A preference mechanism that only handles one channel, or blends topics together, misses the point of a platform built specifically for topic-and-channel precision
02. An access request that only returns profile attributes misses activity, message, and subscription history that's equally part of what Customer.io holds
03. Manually reconciling per-topic, per-channel preferences for a specific person doesn't scale to real preference volume
Ketch resolves the first by mapping directly to Customer.io's own topic-and-channel structure, and the second by returning all four data categories together on every access request.
Why Ketch
Why teams choose Ketch for Customer.io privacy compliance
Permissioning infrastructure that governs Customer.io the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.
Matches Customer.io's real granularity
Preferences map to specific topic-and-channel combinations, not a blended, less precise signal.
A genuinely complete access response
Attributes, activity, messages, and subscriptions all come back together, not a partial picture.
Backed by enforcement precedent
The California Attorney General reached a $1.55 million settlement with Healthline Media over sharing sensitive data with advertisers without valid consent, a reminder that multi-channel messaging platforms carry real exposure when access and preference requests aren't fulfilled completely.
