Markin + Tealium
Real-time profiles in, committed decisions out.
Tealium is strong at collecting and routing in real time. What it does not do is decide which of forty possible actions is worth the contact. Markin arbitrates before anything reaches a connector.

How the connection works
| Pattern | What it means here |
|---|---|
| Attribute write-back | Markin writes the decision onto the customer profile; your existing journeys read it as an entry condition. Latency is the platform's sync interval. |
| Triggered event | Markin emits an event that starts or advances a journey. Near-immediate, and the channel keeps its own governance. |

Tealium questions
- How does Markin connect to Tealium?
- Attribute write-back, Triggered event. Markin writes the decision onto the customer profile; your existing journeys read it as an entry condition. Latency is the platform's sync interval.
- What does Markin read from Tealium?
- Visitor profiles and badges; Real-time event streams.
- What does Markin write back into Tealium?
- Decision attributes Trigger events for existing connectors
- Do we have to move our data to Markin?
- No. Markin reads from your warehouse, product events and operational systems in place, on your compute, under the access rules your data team already set. Nothing is copied into a separate customer base and there is no vendor-side profile store to migrate off later.
- Does Markin replace our engagement platform or CDP?
- No, and it should not. Your engagement platform keeps the channel, the templates, the deliverability and the governance. Your CDP keeps identity and consent. Markin adds the layer neither has: deciding which action deserves to exist for each customer, and proving it against a holdout.
- What if the system we use is not listed?
- The four activation patterns cover almost everything: attribute write-back, triggered event, decision API and direct surface rendering. Any system that exposes an API, accepts a table, or can read a warehouse column can receive decisions. New connectors are built during deployment, typically in days.
