Getting Started

Steps to integrate Segment with WebEngage:

You will be required to provide the API key if you intend on sending any using WebEngage’s server-side component. The API key can be found in your WebEngage dashboard on the top right under Integrations > REST API. If you don’t have a WebEngage account, you can create one on the WebEngage site.

To use the client-side web or mobile bundled SDKs, enter your License Code. WebEngage only needs the License Code you want to enable the device/packaged Integration which will allow you to use WebEngage’s in-app and push notification functionality.

Do note that WebEngage for Mobile supports only the Identify and Track methods.

Android

To install the WebEngage-Segment integration, simply add this line to your app’s build.gradle file:

 compile 'com.webengage:android-segment:2.+'

After adding the dependency, you must register the WebEngage’s destination in your Segment’s Analytics instance. To do this, import the WebEngage integration:

 import com.webengage.sdk.android.integrations.segment.WebEngageIntegration;

And add the following line:

analytics = new Analytics.Builder(this, "YOUR_SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY")
                .use(WebEngageIntegration.FACTORY)
                .build();

iOS

To install the Segment-WebEngage integration, simply add this line to your CocoaPods Podfile:

pod "Segment-WebEngage"

If you are using XCode 8 and face any build issues try following before contacting support:

pod "Segment-WebEngage/Xcode8"

After adding the dependency, you must register the integration with our SDK. To do this, import the WebEngage integration in your AppDelegate:

#import <Segment-WebEngage/WEGSegmentIntegrationFactory.h>

And add the following lines to your AppDelegate’s application:didFinishLaunching:WithOptions: method

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    //Initialise Segment
    SEGAnalyticsConfiguration *configuration = [SEGAnalyticsConfiguration configurationWithWriteKey:@"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"];

    //Additional Segment Configuration
    configuration.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents = NO; // Enable this to record certain application events automatically!
    configuration.recordScreenViews = NO; // Enable this to record screen views automatically!

    //Register WebEngage Integration With Segment
    [configuration use:[WEGSegmentIntegrationFactory instanceWithApplication:application launchOptions:launchOptions]];

    [SEGAnalytics setupWithConfiguration:configuration];

    return YES;
}

Page

This is only supported on the client side web component. Sending page events using server side integration is not supported.

Identify

When a user is identified, Segment will send that user’s information to WebEngage, wherein a user will be created/updated. The anonymousId must be present in case of an anonymous user and userId in case of an identified user. We will map semantic traits such as your first name, email, gender, etc and also send along any custom traits.

Track

When you track an event, Segment will send that event and its properties to WebEngage. Each event will have the necessary data about the user (anonymousId and userId) who performed the event.

An event name can be maximum 50 characters long. Event attribute values can be booleans, numbers, strings and dates only. The maximum length of attribute names is 50 characters and of String data type attribute values is 1000 characters.

You cannot start your event or event attribute names with we_.

In an account, events can have at most 25 attributes of each data type type (i.e. 25 String type attributes, 25 Number type attributes etc.) across all instances of a particular event.

Reset

The reset call must be invoked when a user is logged out.

Features

Push Notifications

Follow WebEngage’s push notification documentation:

• Android
• iOS

In-App Notifications

No further action is required to enable in-app messaging.

Proguard

Include the following rules in your ProGuard file.

 -keep class com.webengage.sdk.android.**{*;}
-dontwarn com.webengage.sdk.android.**

Engage

You can send computed traits and audiences generated using Engage to this destination as a user property. To learn more about Engage, schedule a demo.

For user-property destinations, an identify call is sent to the destination for each user being added and removed. The property name is the snake_cased version of the audience name, with a true/false value to indicate membership. For example, when a user first completes an order in the last 30 days, Engage sends an Identify call with the property order_completed_last_30days: true. When the user no longer satisfies this condition (for example, it’s been more than 30 days since their last order), Engage sets that value to false.

When you first create an audience, Engage sends an Identify call for every user in that audience. Later audience syncs only send updates for users whose membership has changed since the last sync.

Settings

Segment lets you change these destination settings from the Segment app without having to touch any code.
