Hadn't seen this! As a user of Segment and still on the hunt for a marketing automation software this might just check all the right boxes. Does this pass information back to Segment? Like opens, clicks ect?
Maker
Not today, but we are working with Segment to offer this functionality because we know it's valuable. Today, Threads consumes from Segment only.
I have to say, I was a little surprised it wasn't integrated with my Sendgrid account
this can totally replace what we use for
Maker
Awesome. Let us know if you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of our team.

We'd love for you guys to check out Threads and share your thoughts with us. You can track 500 profiles for free... forever!
We've been using this for our app since launch. Works great.
Maker
Glad to hear it! If you're available to set up a call we'd love to talk more about what you've seen work well (or less well).
Intercom does something very similar I believe - never the less the UI is slick, reminds me of dropbox a bit.
Maker
Thanks, Rick - we are continuing to tweak the UI to make it even better. Check back soon!
This is roughly we were looking for... Will try this with the team and send you guys some feedback.
Maker
awesome, we'd love that! Our support team is available 24/7 via email and live chat should you have questions. If you're available to set up a call we'd love to talk more about your engagement needs.
We have been using this. It's amazingly smart, ​​but the lack of drag and drop email builder makes it a bit difficult for non-tech people. Also, it requires a SendGrid account, so at the end you might end up paying for CampaignMonitor and get all in one box.
Maker
Thanks much for the feedback, Dimo. A rich editor is on our roadmap. In the mean time, a workaround is for non-tech users to create their template in SendGrid's Marketing Campaigns and copy the HTML into the Threads editor. If you're available to set up a call we'd love to talk more about what you've seen work well (or less well).
Am wondering how this is different from customer.io, clevertap, autosend and intercom?
Maker
These all provide similar functionality. Our goal for Threads is to be a focused, streamlined solution that offers more flexibility for the events you want to use as Triggers. Once those triggers are in place, it's all about empowering marketers to be able to get work done autonomously (set up workflows, test, and manage them to optimize). And, of course, we're proudly a part of SendGrid, so we offer proven deliverability and really strong support to our users.
Would be cool to be able to pipe information into this as well, for abandoned cart emails for instance.
Maker
Would also be cool to use Threads to set up a welcome series and test content and timing to optimize... Then you could use a custom goal to see what variations best drive purchases.
Maker
Let us know if you'd be interested in setting up a call to brainstorm more ideas.
the pricing is useful only for premium users of your app. If you have a freemium with 100,000 users this becomes amazingly expensive
Maker
Great feedback. Let us know if you'd be interested in setting up a call to discuss.
