The Customer Engagement Trends feature allows you to see how your contacts interact with your organization. When you have insight into this data, you can use it to build relationships with your contacts. Trend data can also tell you about the effectiveness of a certain campaign. For example, you can see how many times a contact has emailed your organization.

How to view Customer Engagement Trends

In this example, you will use the Apollo Systems organization. Perform these steps to see trend data for the Apollo Systems Organization:

1. Import the sample data.
2. Add a domain to the organization.
3. Review the organization Trend tab.

Importing the sample data

Download and extract the contents of this file:SampleTrendData.zip. The file is in comma separated value (.csv) format. Then, import the file into the pegadata.CED_SAMPLE_DATA table. The steps for importing a .csv file vary depending on which database client you are using.
