Integrating Appbrew with BIK lets you trigger omnichannel retargeting flows off real in-app behavior. You can:
- Send real-time event webhooks to BIK — page views, searches, signups, purchases, refunds, add-to-carts
- Trigger automated flows across mobile push, WhatsApp and SMS from those events
- Reach app users through the same BIK flows already running on other channels
This means app behavior becomes another trigger source for the omnichannel campaigns you're already running in BIK — not a separate, disconnected channel. For conversational support, the app deep-links out to WhatsApp; dedicated in-app chat widgets run through native helpdesk connectors like Tidio, Kustomer or Kapture instead.
What You Need
- Login credentials for both your Appbrew and BIK accounts
- An active BIK account
- Minimum Appbrew plan: Pro

Use Cases
Cart Abandonment Retargeting
- Trigger: a shopper adds to cart in-app but doesn't purchase
- Action: the add_to_cart event fires to BIK, triggering a WhatsApp or push reminder
- Outcome: cart recovery without a separate manual campaign
Post-Purchase Flow
- Trigger: a shopper completes a purchase in the app
- Action: the purchase event triggers a BIK confirmation or upsell flow
- Outcome: consistent post-purchase messaging across app and other channels
Chatbot Event Forwarding (Bikai)
Separately from omnichannel retargeting, Appbrew can forward user activity events — like product views and add-to-cart actions — to BIK's chatbot webhook endpoints in real time. You can:
- Send app events (view item, add to cart, and more) to specific BIK flows
- Whitelist exactly which events get forwarded
- Include user info (email, phone, name, Shopify customer ID) for logged-in users
- Pass session, device, and event-specific data for richer automation
This is especially useful for brands using BIK for chatbot-driven engagement, retention campaigns, and conversational commerce.
