Setting up the Fourth staff x Airship integration will allow all your contact data to be automatically sent to Airship daily - which will allow you to easily communicate and reward staff members for things like birthdays, a work anniversary, monthly newsletters or general ad hoc communications.
Contacts will be created, updated (with things like role changes, or if they transfer between locations) and deleted when they leave the business.
Fees
This is only available as a Booster option in Airship. See your Airship Customer Success representative for more information. Fourth also charge a one off fee of £480 for the setup of this integration.
Getting started
Getting set-up with Fourth is straight forward!
What we'll need from Fourth is:
API username
API Password
organisation ID
Once you have all this in place, get in touch with your Airship Customer Success contact and we'll handle the rest.
What data is sent to Airship?
When the data is processed by Airship, we will put the contacts against their Primary Venue
and allocate to a group. The fields captured from the integration include;
Contact first name
Contact last name
Contact mobile number
Contact email
Contact DOB
Contact address (Street / Postcode)
Contact email opt in (always in for this integration)
Contact mobile opt in (always in for this integration)
There are also the following Dynamic Fields which will be provided for a contact;
Job Title
Start Date
Employee Number
Primary Location
Department
Termination Date*
*Note, we will set the termination date as a Dynamic Field once the contact has left, and then soft delete their record. This means you won't be able to target, or view that contact within Airship - but we will have a record in the database for when the contact was marked as a leaver.
