Integration Logic

  • AssetStream Leads

    This integration triggers when a new user registers, a specific form is submitted (e.g., newsletter signup, quote request), or a customer is created in WooCommerce. The user's data (name, email) is then sent to Brevo to create or update a contact and add them to a designated list for lead nurturing. Simultaneously, a custom 'generate_lead' event is pushed to Google Analytics 4 via the Measurement Protocol, including details like the lead source and type, allowing for comprehensive tracking of lead generation efforts.
