Segment

You can collect data from Segment in two simple steps:

1. Connect Anodot with Segment by creating a Segment data source and copy the Anodot API key in Anodot to Segment.
2. Create a Segment data stream.

Creating a Segment data source

To create a Segment source:

1. In the Navigation Panel, click Catalog.
2. Use the Search box OR click the Collector filter to locate the data source.
3. Hover over the Segment tile, and click Start. The Segment dialog is displayed.
   
   
4. Define a name for the data source, and copy the displayed Integration Token.
5. In your Segment account, do the following:
   • Create the Anodot destination type.
   • Paste the Integration Token in the API Key field.
6. In the Segment dialog in Anodot (as displayed above), click CONTINUE. You can then define the Segment data stream, as described in the procedure below.

Creating a Segment data stream

If you have just created a Segment data source, skip to step 3.

1. In the Sources page (accessed by clicking INTEGRATIONS > Sources in the Navigation Panel), filter the displayed list of streams to find the Segment source for which you want to create a stream query. 
   Note: The streams associated with the source are displayed. If no streams are displayed for the Segment data source, no stream queries currently exist.
2. Hover over the Segment row in the displayed list of streams, and click + New Stream to display the Stream Query window.  
   
   
   
   
3. Define the following:
   • • In the Stream Properties section, define a Stream Name and Stream Owner.
     • In the Missing data section, select from one of the following when there is no data: 
       • Data gaps should not be filled
       • Fill in the gaps 
     • In the Spec Type section, select from one of the following:
       • Auto Segment Spec: Select the relevant Segment message types and click Collect. The relevant message fields are displayed.
       • Manual Segment Spec: Click Event Sample to upload a sample JSON with the relevant fields. 
     • In the Schedule file collection section, define the collection schedule.
     • Select the relevant Measures & Dimensions from the list of fields detected by Anodot.
4. Click NEXT. The Stream Table is displayed, as described in Stream Tables. 

Note: Currently this integration is only available for customers in the US data center. If you need it on a different data center, please contact Anodot Support.
