Bloomreach Technical Customization

This technical documentation provides a detailed breakdown of the data exchange and customization patterns for the TRIFFT + Bloomreach integration, designed for technical implementers and marketing operations teams.

Goal	Document data exchange, endpoints, webhooks, and customization patterns

Architecture

TRIFFT serves as the specialized loyalty engine and source of truth for member states, emitting real-time events and property updates to Bloomreach Engagement. Bloomreach acts as the Customer Data and Experience Platform (CDXP), consuming these loyalty signals to enrich customer profiles and orchestrate complex, AI-driven marketing scenarios. These scenarios can then push personalized communications back to the user or trigger specific reward-related actions via TRIFFT’s API.

Identifiers and Consent

Primary identifier: The Email address or External ID (registered ID) is the primary key used to map and merge records between the TRIFFT loyalty database and Bloomreach profiles.
Consent mapping: Bloomreach typically serves as the centralized hub for marketing communication consents (Email/SMS/Push), while TRIFFT remains the authoritative source for loyalty-specific legal terms and privacy consents.
Data ownership: TRIFFT owns all loyalty ledger data (points, tiers, and coupon lifecycle), whereas Bloomreach owns engagement history, predictive behavioral scores, and omnichannel orchestration logic.

Data Mapping Table

Concept	TRIFFT	Bloomreach	Notes
Customer identifier	`email` / `external_id`	`registered` / `email`	Primary mapping key for profile unification.
Tier	`tier_name`	`loyalty_tier`	Synced in real-time upon tier change.
Points balance	`points_balance`	`loyalty_points`	Updated as an integer for segmentation logic.
Coupon state	`member_coupon_id`	`voucher_code`	Used to trigger redemption reminders or onsite banners.
Recommendation payload	N/A	`recommendations`	AI-generated lists pushed to TRIFFT app/widgets.

Standard Patterns

TRIFFT → Bloomreach: Syncing member properties and loyalty events (e.g., Points Earned, Tier Upgraded, Voucher Claimed) to Bloomreach Engagement for real-time segmentation and journey triggers.
Bloomreach → TRIFFT: Triggering loyalty actions via the TRIFFT API, such as manually awarding bonus points for an NPS survey completion or updating a member's custom profile attribute.
Two-way Content Sync: Bloomreach generates AI-driven product recommendations that are dynamically displayed within native TRIFFT surfaces like the Mobile App "News" or "Deals" sections.

Webhook/API Checklist

Security: API keys and private secrets for both platforms must be stored securely in the TRIFFT Cockpit; utilize HTTPS for all data transfers.
[cite_start]Reliability: Webhook listeners should include retry logic and handle idempotency to prevent duplicate point awards or redundant communications during sync[cite: 69].
Observability: Monitor integration health through the TRIFFT Cockpit logs and Bloomreach’s event tracking dashboard to identify and alert on sync failures.
Testing: Validate event payloads using test profiles in a staging environment before deploying live production scenarios.

Customization Examples

Personalized Coupon List: Pass a member's active, unused TRIFFT coupon codes directly into Bloomreach email templates to show exactly which rewards are ready to spend.
Tier-Specific Content: Use the member's current TRIFFT tier status to trigger a Bloomreach scenario that displays "VIP-only" product recommendations on the website.
Location-Based Personalization: Personalize Bloomreach push notifications or onsite pop-ups using the member's favorite_store or last_visited_location property stored in TRIFFT.
