Integrating Herow (Connecthings) with Iterable

Herow by Connecthings and Iterable are powering the future of location-based engagement. The Herow SDK provides a hyper-accurate understanding of where your users go, empowering Iterable to send real-time, location-based messages to engage users when the moment is right.

# Integration Overview

• Set up Iterable mobile SDK (iOS, Android) and the Herow SDK
  in your app.

• Confirm you have set a common user ID between Iterable and Herow to be able to match a Herow location event with an Iterable user. Herow works with phone ID (IDFV for iOS and device id for Android) or advertiser ID (IDFA for iOS and GAID for Android).

• Activate the integration option on the Herow dashboard and enter your Iterable API Key on the dedicated partner page.

# Setup Steps

1. Create an Iterable API key:

   • Navigate to Integrations > API Keys.

     

   • Click Create New API Key.

   • From the Select an API Key Type menu, select Mobile.

2. In Herow, copy and paste your Iterable API key to Herow Dashboard > App Settings > Partnership > Mobile Engagement Partner > Iterable:

   

3. Configure the Herow Console. Once set up, the Herow SDK will automatically track location events and forward them to Iterable, allowing you to easily engage with your users.

4. Confirm that you are seeing Herow events in the Iterable dashboard. The best way to do this is to test an event in Herow with an existing user in Iterable. Once Herow has sent the event, look up the user in Iterable and check the Events log. See the below example:
