  • read

To sync the contacts captured by your Privy Convert displays to your Retention Science account, you will need to link (integrate) the two accounts and add automation rules to your displays.

Note: Privy can sync the following fields to Retention Science: address1, address2, city, state, zip, country, phone, birth_year, gender, birthday. Your field name in Privy must exactly match the corresponding field name in Retention Science. Privy uses the lowercase md5 of the contact's email address as the user's record ID. 

Link the accounts

To link your Privy account with your Retention Science account:

  • In your Retention Science account, navigate to the Integrations Center in Cortex by navigating to Cortex > Integrations and selecting the Privy plugin.
  • Click Install and wait for the plugin to complete the installation.
  • Once installed, click Generate a new key under the "API KEY" section and copy the key.

  • Scroll down to the Available Integrations section and select the Retention Science option. 
  • Enter your credentials in the prompt and then select Link Account.
