Bento Event Streaming

Bento allows you to build powerful and native-looking activation experiences in your product. From onboarding checklists presented in your app dashboard, to upsell and cross-sell cards, to new feature announcements, Bento empowers designers and PMs to build and test without being blocked by engineering.

In order to show the right users the right experience, you can send cohort information to Bento for guide targeting. We support this at the user and group level. To automatically complete steps in a Bento guide when a user takes actions, you can pass in events from Amplitude.

This integration lets you stream events and event properties from Amplitude to Bento.

Considerations

Keep these things in mind when sending events to Bento:

  • You must enable this integration in each Amplitude project you want to use it in.
  • You need a paid Bento plan to enable this integration.
  • Amplitude matches the User_id to the ID field within Bento to associated events. If a user with that id doesn't exist within Bento, a user is created. Make sure that the Amplitude User_id field matches the Bento Identity ID to avoid user duplication.
  • Amplitude sends all user properties along with the event.

Setup

Prerequisites

To configure an Event Streaming integration from Amplitude to Bento, you need the following information from Bento:

  • API Key: To start sending data into Bento, you first have to get your API Key. It is used to authenticate your requests to the API and connect the data with your account. Find this in your Bento Integrations > Amplitude > Modify Configuration. See the Bento documentation for more help.

  2. In the Event Streaming section, click Bento.
  3. Enter a sync name, then click Create Sync.
  4. Toggle Status from Disabled to Enabled.
