Overview

Kno is a post-purchase survey app designed to gather zero-party data from customers, providing valuable insights into which marketing channels are driving the most impact. By asking customers directly through post-purchase surveys, Kno helps businesses understand their customers' journeys and preferences, enhancing the overall marketing strategy.

Integrating Kno with Triple Whale enables businesses to improve their attribution story and gain deeper insights into customer behavior. Here’s how:

  • Improve Your Attribution Story: Kno helps bridge the gaps in customer journey tracking that may occur due to improper UTM setup, customers not clicking on ads, or viewing ads on different devices. Triple Whale uses data collected directly from Kno survey responses to provide a more accurate and complete view of marketing attribution, ensuring that all customer interactions are accounted for.

  • Analyzing Your Survey Responses: Triple Whale aggregates the responses to the "How did you hear about us?" survey question from Kno into an easily digestible section on your Triple Whale summary page. This integration allows for a comprehensive analysis of marketing channel effectiveness based on direct customer feedback, helping to refine and optimize marketing strategies.

By connecting Kno with Triple Whale, businesses can enhance their understanding of customer journeys, improve attribution accuracy, and make data-driven decisions to maximize marketing effectiveness.

Data Library

Once you've connected your Kno account, you will be able to access insightful reports in several locations in Triple Whale.

Head to the Summary page for a high-level overview of the type of responses you've received over a given time frame.

Only the following response types will be listed on the Summary page: Facebook, Instagram, Google, Snapchat, TikTok, and Pinterest. All other responses are categorized as Other and can be reviewed on the Pixel attribution dashboard.

Triple Whale will use your Kno survey responses to enhance your Pixel attribution data. If a customer's survey response differs from the journey captured by the Triple Pixel, we will display the Conversion Value of that order on the channel page that aligns with the customer's response.

Conversely, if the customer’s survey response matches the channel or source attributed by the pixel, the post-purchase survey data will be included in the customer journey but will not affect attribution, ensuring that orders are deduplicated for attribution purposes.

You can find the attribution lift from Kno responses as the last row of the Pixel attribution dashboard for any given channel.

Interpreting the Pixel Data

Combining first-party tracking data with zero-party survey data can lead to some confusing reporting questions. Triple Whale supports a variety of attribution models which allow you to distribute credit using the model that best fits your specific reporting needs. The illustrations below aim to illustrate the priority schema used to ensure you more fully understand the possible ways of reporting on the data.

  • When Pixel and Survey Data match: If a customer was tracked by Triple Whale's Pixel to a Meta ad click, and the customer responded Meta to the survey, the order and its corresponding conversion value will be attributed to Meta. (No surprises here!)

  • When Pixel and Survey Data differ: If a customer was tracked by Triple Whale's Pixel to a Meta ad click, yet the customer responded TikTok to the survey, then:

    • we will give precedence to Pixel-tracked data, and give credit to Meta.

    • However, by using the Triple Attribution model you can allow for duplicated credit to Meta and TikTok

  • When there is only Survey Data: If a customer did not have any tracked click events, but the customer responded Meta to the survey, the order and its corresponding conversion value will be attributed to Meta and located in the Kno row.
