A

Achievements

An Achievement is used as a counter to track and aggregate a specific type of transaction or interaction. Achievements have Levels which are thresholds that when reached allow the customer to 'level up' within the achievement. 'Leveling up' can then be connected to other incentives like rewards or benefits. Achievement mechanics are sometimes called gamification.

Action Portal

Action Portal is the legacy name for what is now known as the Omneo Profile Portal

Addresses

Addresses should be independently validated postable locations that represent a customers household (where they live) the business where they work, or a location where they like to have purchases delivered to. Addresses can also represent a brand's physical store location (see locations).

Aggregations

Unlike attributes, aggregation are calculated "facts" about an individual customer profile that is based on other interaction and transaction e.g. last spend date, average transaction value, return ratio, reward redemption rate, average CSAT etc.

Administrator

A system admin user that has access to the Omneo CX Manager to create/edit/delete records.

Algolia

Authentication Roles

Authentication Roles define the scope of a tokens access the Omneo API.

B

Benefits

Benefits are a mechanic similar to a coupon or promotion that has some type of conditional logic associated such as "25% off Pants". In Omneo, benefits are be issued to customers via incentive logic or can be 'claimed' by customers who meet specific qualifying conditions. Claiming a benefit is the same as issuing a benefit except that this is initiated by the customer rather than by Omneo logic.

Benefit Definitions

A Benefit Definition contains the attribute values (properties) that are assigned to a Benefit when issued to a customer. A Benefit Definition can be created by an Administrator in the Omneo CX Manager. Developer documentation can be found at Benefits Definition endpoint.

Customer

From Omneo’s point of view, a Customer is a person who has created a profile with the brand, is known by name, can be contacted, and has the capability to purchase products.
