Autopilot

Autopilot is a popular marketing automation platform that allows you to track and capture new leads, create detailed customer journeys, and boost customer retention.

Autopilot is now Ortto. Refer to this documentation only if:

• You set up the Autopilot destination in RudderStack before the rebranding.
• You are leveraging the Autopilot REST API to send the data.

If you’re sending data from RudderStack to Ortto, see the Ortto documentation.

Identify
