Cordial Destination

Getting Started

To enable the destination, you will need to authenticate by entering your Cordial API Key in the Segment dashboard.

To access your Cordial API Key, log in to your Cordial account and open the dropdown menu in the top right corner. Navigate to Administration > API Keys.

Supported Segment methods

Cordial supports the identify, track, group, page methods.

Identify

When identify is called, user_id should be a valid identifier that matches the Cordial account’s primary key. This will be the contact e-mail address unless you have set up a custom value.

If the user_id passed is valid and known, the contact in Cordial will be updated with any corresponding property values. For example, first_name, user_id, address.state, and email will populate or replace the corresponding values in Cordial.

If the user_id passed is valid but does not correspond to a Cordial contact, a new contact will be created and assigned any mapped values.

If the user_id passed is invalid, an error will be returned.

Group

If the user_id passed is valid and known, and the group_id passed is valid and known, the contact will be added to the list in Cordial.

If the user_id passed is invalid, an error will be returned.

Supported data parameters

Track

If the user_id passed is valid and known, the event and its properties will be attributed to the contact in Cordial.

If the user_id passed is invalid, an error will be returned.

Supported data parameters

Page

If the user_id passed is valid and known, a page view event will be attributed to the contact in Cordial.

If the user_id passed is invalid, an error will be returned.
