Introduction to Marketing Edge
Overview
Integrating fully featured Call and SMS Tracking capabilities into your applications has never been easier.
With the Marketing Edge API, we provide you with the capability to develop everything from a simple call tracking application, or to create a full featured marketing attribution solution that enables you to associate phone calls and text conversations to your digital marketing campaigns.
