About Demandbase

Demandbase is a targeting and personalization platform for business-to-business (B2B) companies. With Demandbase integration, you can create B2B audiences for delivering personalized content to the companies you care about the most.

Integrating VWO with Demandbase

With the VWO-Demandbase integration, you can utilize the company's attribute to deliver personalized content to any user from a specific company’s IP address or run A/B tests only for targeted companies meeting certain criteria, for example, all fortune 100 companies located in the US

Integrating VWO with Demandbase is a two-step process:

1. Enable the Demandbase integration in VWO
2. Use Demandbase data as targeting condition in VWO

Prerequisites

• An active Demandbase account.
• The value of the var parameter you have specified for the ​​api.company-target.com/api/v2/ip.js endpoint or any variable with all the company API data set in it. Make sure this variable is in the window scope so that we can read it.

   To know more about custom segments in VWO, refer to How to Define Custom Visitor Segments.
   NOTE: When you choose Demandbase Attribute as a targeting condition, we set the Poll Until setting to Custom Event by default, which includes a code snippet that waits 5 seconds for the demandbase attribute variable (the value you specified in the Config tab) to be available. The segmentation condition will not apply if this is not available within 5 seconds. This time interval can be modified (as per your requirements) in the code snippet highlighted in the screenshot below.
5. To add multiple conditions, click Add another condition. Also, you can define the logical relationship between the different conditions using the AND/OR operators and use brackets to organize the segment condition.
6. Once done, click Save Segment.

You might experience a delay in VWO changes getting applied on the page as the Demandbase API call might take some time to populate the required info on the page.
