How Does Intent Data Integrate into MAP Tools?
MAPs ingest third-party and first-party intent, resolve it to people and accounts, and trigger orchestrated journeys—from segmentation and nurturing to ABM plays—while preserving consent and data governance.
Intent data integrates into MAPs via connectors and feeds that deliver topic activity at the domain/account and person level. MAP workflows normalize topics to your taxonomy, enrich leads/contacts, and write fields & scores that segment audiences, trigger nurture streams, escalate hand-raisers, and coordinate with CRM/ADS. Governance is enforced through consent flags, frequency caps, and suppression rules to keep outreach relevant and compliant.

Source → Normalize → Match → Score → Segment → Orchestrate → Personalize → Govern
- Source: Configure intent vendor feeds and first-party behavior (web, email, product) into MAP or CDP.
- Normalize: Map vendor topics to internal themes, product lines, and personas.
- Match: Resolve domains to CRM accounts; bind signals to contacts/leads where possible.
- Score: Translate intensity and recency into points; apply time decay and channel caps.
- Segment: Build smart lists for surge accounts, buying groups, and topic clusters.
- Orchestrate: Launch nurtures, SDR plays, and ad audiences; set SLAs for hot thresholds.
- Personalize: Swap content modules by topic/persona; align CTAs to stage.
- Govern: Enforce consent, frequency caps, and “do-not-disturb” windows; review outcomes monthly.
