Segment’s powerful customer data platform is now fully integrable with Edgee, allowing you to centralize your data collection and analytics seamlessly at the edge. This component eliminates the need to embed Segment’s script directly on your website, significantly improving site performance and adhering to strict privacy standards.

​
Event Mapping

Here’s how Edgee events map to Segment events:

Edgee eventSegment Event
Pagepage
Tracktrack
Useridentify

When you make a user call, Edgee will send an identify event to Segment. Additionally, the user’s data (user_id, anonymous_id, and properties) are stored on the device, enabling proper attribution for subsequent page views and events.

​
Getting Started

To integrate Segment with your project on Edgee:

  1. Log in first to your Segment account and create a new source for your project. 🚨WARNING Your source has to be a HTTP API source.
  2. Copy the Write Key from the Segment dashboard.
    (Your Write Key can be found under the source Settings > API Keys)
  3. Open the Edgee console and navigate to your project’s Components.
  4. Select “Add a component” and choose edgee/segment from the list of available components.
  5. Enter your Segment Write Key and click Save.
  6. With this setup, you’re ready to transmit events directly to Segment, leveraging the edge’s power for your analytics.

​
Destination Name

When configuring your Edgee Data Layer or making SDK calls, use edgee/segment as the component name:

{
  "components": {
    "edgee/segment": true
  }
}
