What is Customer.io?

Customer.io is the messaging platform of choice for many SaaS and PLG companies (Segment, Notion, Gumroad). Its core primitive is event-triggered campaigns fed by product telemetry. Engineers love it because data flows via a clean REST/JS API rather than an IT-owned ESP. Workflow Builder powers onboarding drips, lifecycle emails, and transactional messages all in one place. Not ideal as a mass-broadcast marketing tool — it's purpose-built for product-triggered messaging.
