What is a Marketing Automation Platform (MAP)?
A Marketing Automation Platform (MAP) is software designed to streamline and automate repetitive marketing tasks, such as sending emails, scoring leads, segmenting audiences, and tracking campaign performance. Platforms like Marketo, Eloqua, HubSpot, and Pardot help marketing teams execute personalized campaigns at scale.
When integrated with the ON24 Platform, a MAP captures first-party engagement data from webinars, virtual events, and content experiences. This allows marketers to track audience behavior, score leads, and trigger follow-up actions based on real engagement insights — not just clicks or form fills.
By connecting ON24 to a MAP, organizations can align marketing and sales teams around a unified, data-driven engagement strategy that nurtures prospects more effectively through the funnel.
