V5 API Endpoint (Authenticated) Integration
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.
V5 API Endpoint (Authenticated) Integration
Our simple, self-serve integration tool offers a smart and secure way to manage your integration; without the risk and inefficiencies of manually handling customer data.
Credentials
You will need to setup up one credential before you are able to create an V5 API Endpoint (Authenticated) integration. The main credential that you would need to set up will be the API token. Here is more information on setting up the API Token credential.
