Overview

Segment is a well-know customer data platform, owned by Twilio. Thousands of companies have installed Segment to route web and platform data to mainly eco-system marketing tools, and in a lesser degree, also to other customer applications such as CRM and customer success tools.

Note

Important note on using segment, deployed on frontend.

When you primarily use Segment's Analytics.js on the frontend, you might experience missing data because of ad blockers (e.g. uBlock Origin). If the data doesn't reach Segment, journy.io can obviously not receive it neither, and thus won't be able to process your data in a meaningful way. To solve this, you can setup a proxy domain (see https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/custom-proxy/) or move calls to the backend.

How to connect Segment to journy.io

Go to your connections and click the 'Connect' button under the Segment logo:

...

You will have the option of connecting Segment manually or automatically.

...

Connecting Segment automatically

Connecting Segment automatically basically requires you to do following steps:

...

  • In journy.io, you will now see a connected Segment panel on top of your connections screen.

Connecting Segment manually

Connecting Segment manually requires you to copy-paste an API key from journy.io into Segment.

...

  • Once this is done, you save the destination and you have manually connected http://journy.io to Segment.

Review source settings

Going to your Connection→Segment settings, you can choose source settings tab:

  • (Optionally, depending on manual or automatic setup) See you API key. Pressing on it will copy it to the clipboard.

  • 'Ignore event metadata keys': Fill in the metadata key names that you want to ignore throughout journy.io. An event (e.g. 'Submit form') kan have metadata (e.g. your-message). Sometimes companies add things such as AccountID or UserID which doesn't have any use, as journy.io already collects those IDs. To avoid misleading metadata with ID data, you can enter those names here and they will not be tracked by journy.io

Review Segment logs

At any time, you can check the sync logs of your Segment↔journy.io connection by selecting the 'log' submenu.
