First-Party Enrichment
First-party enrichment services: what Intempt fills in from data you already own, at no per-lookup cost.
First-Party Enrichment
First-party enrichment is any field Intempt fills in from data you already own. Your events, your traits, and the objects your connected platforms sync. No outside vendor sees it and there is no per-lookup charge.
Reach for this before third-party enrichment. It is free, it is always available, and it is usually more accurate about your own customers than any purchased dataset.
The two first-party services
Out-of-box source schema
Connect a platform and Intempt provisions its objects with a schema already defined, field for field. You do not write a mapping and you do not normalise the payload.
| Source | Collections | Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | 24 | 2,170 |
| Stripe | 17 | 738 |
| HubSpot | 7 | 237 |
| Web, iOS, Android | 12 / 9 / 12 | 274 / 206 / 169 |
Full breakdown in Source taxonomy. This is enrichment in the sense that matters: a Stripe invoice arrives with 112 fields on the same profile as a web pageview, and you did nothing to make them line up.
Derived attributes
Computed from data already in your project, recomputed as that data changes.
| Kind | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| RFM scoring | Recency, frequency and monetary scores, and audiences built on them |
| Predictive attributes | Purchase likelihood, next best product |
| Calculated attributes | Fields you define yourself, as a formula over events and other attributes |
| Identity resolution | One profile from many identifiers, across sessions and devices |
Identity resolution is the one people forget is enrichment. Stitching an anonymous visitor to a known user retroactively enriches every event that visitor already sent.
What first-party cannot tell you
It cannot tell you a company's headcount, funding round, tech stack, competitors or hiring activity, because that information was never in your data to begin with. That is the line where third-party enrichment starts.

Both first-party services write into the same reserved keys as everything else, so a value's meaning does not depend on which service produced it. See user and account attributes.
Data Enrichment
How a profile in Intempt gets filled in: what you send, what we derive, and what we buy from third-party providers on your behalf.
Third-Party Enrichment
Third-party enrichment services: the external data providers Intempt contracts on your behalf, what each fills in, and how lookups are metered and billed.
