Customer.io Automation Meets Alpaco Production

Customer.io is the automated messaging platform designed for data-driven product and growth teams. But when teams need to scale sophisticated, multi-brand email designs across complex event-triggered campaigns, the default code editor and visual builder can introduce workflow friction.

Alpaco provides the dedicated upstream email production studio that Customer.io teams need. Designers establish modular design systems and responsive grid layouts. Marketers assemble on-brand emails in minutes — with complete creative freedom and absolute certainty in the email design system.

Creative Freedom with Design System Certainty

Template engineers have complete creative freedom to build custom HTML and Liquid modules during setup. Once in the Email Design System, daily campaign creators are fully alleviated from HTML — assembling layouts with drag-and-drop ease and 100% brand certainty.

Support for Layouts, Templates & Snippets

Create and sync responsive Email Layouts, message templates, and reusable Snippets directly into Customer.io for behavioral campaigns and newsletters.

Zero Data Exposure

Alpaco operates strictly upstream in the production layer. No access to customer PII, people segments, or sending credentials — your sensitive Customer.io user data remains untouched.
