# Customer.io Quick Start Guide

[Customer.io ](https://customer.io/)is an all-in-one messaging platform. You can schedule emails, SMS messages, and more with Customer.io.

Freshpaint helps teams manage and control their customer data. Freshpaint automatically captures every click, pageview, and form submission on your site. This makes it possible for non-technical users to route data from Freshpaint to any marketing or analytics platform.

With Freshpaint and Customer.io, you can use Freshpaint to attach user metadata and trigger events in Customer.io to create customized messaging campaigns for your customers.
