Short answer

How can I track user behavior and events with my AI?

Your agent sends page views, screen changes, and custom user actions to Customer.io in real time. This lets you trigger automated messages based on what people do in your app. You'll see how these actions map to your data below.

Data destinations

Where your data lands.

Every action your agent takes maps to a specific destination in Customer.io.

EVENTS

Custom user actions

The AI sends specific event data for things like button clicks or signups. These show up as events in your Customer.io dashboard.

VISITS

Page and screen views

Your agent logs when a user hits a specific URL or moves through different app screens. This builds your activity history.

ANONYMOUS

Unidentified activity

You can track behavior from users who haven't logged in yet. This helps you capture top-of-funnel interest.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If an event requires complex logic or sensitive data changes, the AI will stop and ask you for permission first.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between your user's live session and your Customer.io account.

  1. Capture page views

    The agent identifies when a user navigates to a new URL and sends that data immediately.

    pipeline_page

  2. Log app screens

    For mobile or single-page apps, the agent tracks transitions between different interface screens.

    pipeline_screen

  3. Record custom events

    The AI sends specific, named actions like 'completed_tutorial' or 'added_to_cart' to your event stream.

    track_customer_event

  4. Track guest activity

    The agent logs interactions for users without an established profile to help with early attribution.

    track_anonymous_event

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    No. The available tools only allow for tracking and logging data, not deleting or modifying existing user records.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically create segments?

    No. The AI sends the event data, but you must set up the actual segments and liquid logic within the Customer.io interface.

  • 03

    Can I track events for users who aren't logged in?

    Yes. You can use the tool designed for anonymous activity to capture data before a user identifies themselves.

    The AI only executes the tracking tools when you give it a direct instruction or when it is part of a specific task you've initiated.

  • 05

    No. There are no tools provided to update or change user profile attributes like email or name.
