Integrations is not available for Taguchi V4 and is only available in V5.
Please contact Support if you don't know which version of Taguchi you are using.

Taguchi has an API integration which creates a seamless and automated connection between your email marketing database in Taguchi, and your organisation.

This integration means you don't need to manually handle your subscriber data externally between Taguchi and your organisation to achieve the above, reducing the risk of data security issues and not to mention effort.

Email Extract

Our simple, self-serve integration tool offers a smart and secure way to receive emailed extracts; without the risk and inefficiencies of manually handling customer data.

Credentials

There is one credential that you would need to set up for this integration which is the ZIP credential. Here is more information on ZIP credentials.

To create a new integration, ensure that you have the required User Type integration role privileges assigned to you. The 'integration' page is under Settings > Integrations.

Select ‘New Integration’ and a new screen will popup.

Details

1. Set the name of the integration.

2. Under 'Type', select 'Emailed Extract'.

3. The Schedule start date/time allows the integration to start at the specified time/date. When used in tandem with repeat (Weekly), this allows the integration to repeat weekly at 12:30 (based on the example above).

4. Repeats allow you to conduct the integration multiple times without having to create a new integration. You could choose either Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily and Hourly. Some platforms have processing limitation whereby it could take some time to process the data. Hence hourly repeats might be affected and daily repeat might be a preferred option instead.
