Plotline (Event Stream)

Plotline helps product and marketing teams configure in-app nudges to improve feature adoption and drive conversions. Fully no-code.

Use cases

Sending events from Amplitude to Plotline can drive higher-value conversions through targeted and personalized messaging.

  • Generate personalized content: Generate content relevant to each user using event data from Amplitude.
  • Behavioral triggered campaigns: Set up behavioral triggers in Plotline based on events tracked in Amplitude. For example, when a user reaches a milestone or completes a specific action, Plotline can show specific campaigns.
  • Personalized campaigns: Send user behavior data from Amplitude to Plotline to create personalized in-app campaigns based on user actions or preferences. For example, include a user's name and offer details in the in-app campaigns.

Considerations

  • Enable this integration in each Amplitude project that needs it.
  • You need a Plotline account to enable this integration.
  • Event limits for Plotline:
    • Plotline doesn't impose hard limits on quantity or velocity. If you send too many requests in a short period, the integration returns a 429 response, which Amplitude handles.
    • Requests must be smaller than 2MB.
  • Amplitude sends selected user and event properties along with the event.
