Twilio Enhances Segment's Linked Audiences with Data Freshness Detection Twilio has introduced an enhancement to Segment's Linked Audiences feature, enabling data freshness detection for Identify events. This update allows for the detection of changes to entity context data between runs, emitting an Identify event for affected profiles even if their audience membership remains unchanged. The feature ensures that enrichment values are kept up to date in Braze, Customer.io, and AWS S3, facilitating more effective time-sensitive journeys such as past-due reminders, onboarding sequences, and abandoned cart campaigns.
