Data Onboarding: Fast, Secure, and Simple
Getting started with Causality Engine is a simple and secure process. We've designed our data onboarding to be as frictionless as possible, so you can get from signup to insights in the shortest possible time. There are no complex tracking scripts to install and no developers required. Our system connects directly to your existing data sources via secure APIs.
We understand that your data is your most valuable asset. Security and privacy are at the core of our design. We use read-only permissions and industry-standard encryption to ensure your data is always protected. We are fully GDPR compliant.
The 3-Step Onboarding Process
Connect Your Shopify Store: Simply authenticate your Shopify account through our secure portal. This gives us the necessary sales and customer data to build our models. We only require read access to your orders, products, and customers.
Connect Your Ad Accounts: Connect your key marketing platforms, such as Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads. Again, this is done through secure, official API connections. This allows us to pull in your spend and impression data.
Analysis Begins: That's it. Once your accounts are connected, our system automatically begins the process of ingesting and analyzing your data. For a one-time analysis, your report will be ready within minutes. For a subscription, your dashboard will be populated with initial insights within the same timeframe and will update continuously.
The Importance of First-Party Data
Our entire approach to marketing attribution is built on the foundation of your own first-party data. By connecting directly to your Shopify and ad accounts, we are not reliant on third-party cookies or pixels that are becoming increasingly unreliable. This is a more robust, more accurate, and more future-proof way to measure marketing performance.
We do the heavy lifting of data integration and modeling so you can focus on what you do best: building your brand. Our process is designed to be so simple that any member of your team can do it, from the CMO to a marketing intern.
