BOSTON, MA & RALEIGH, N.C — June 10, 2019 — Drift, the leading conversational marketing platform, and Pendo, the product cloud company, today announced a partnership that will bring the power of conversations inside software applications. This integration will allow joint customers to import Pendo user segments they want to target for conversations and build a Drift Bot Playbook™ to start sales conversations inside their products. It will also let them add Drift chat capability to the Pendo resource center as yet another communication channel for end-users to get support.
Drift founder and CEO David Cancel announced the partnership with Rahul Jain, Pendo co-founder and VP of business development, onstage at HYPERGROWTH London.
“At Drift, we believe in friends and partners and an open future,” said Cancel. “That is why we’re thrilled to partner with Pendo. Like we have done in the past with Marketo, the best in class sales marketing automation platform and Outreach, the best in class sales engagement platform, we are now working with the best in class product cloud.”
“Great customer experience means driving the right conversation at the right time,” said Rahul Jain, vice president of business development at Pendo. “We’re excited to partner with Drift to leverage Pendo’s product usage data to connect sellers and buyers and companies and customers via chat-based interactions inside software apps.”
