Where can I learn more about setting up the Segment integration?
Be sure to review the two key resources hosted by our friends at Segment!
- Delighted Destination: Resource for setting up the Segment integration to trigger Delighted surveys
- Delighted Source: Resource for setting up the Segment integration to sync response data to Segment
What is the difference between the different Segment keys?
There are two "keys" used when setting up the Segment integration. It's important to note that neither are the Delighted API key, found in your account by going to Integrations > API. You will not need your Delighted API key to set up the Segment integration.
When setting up the Delighted Source (to sync feedback from Delighted to Segment), you'll use the Write key supplied by Segment. This key will be delivered within Segment as a read-only value when setting up the Delighted Source, and needs to be inputted into the Segment integration page in Delighted.
When setting up the Delighted Destination (to trigger Delighted surveys from within Segment), you'll simply click "Enable with Segment."
Can the Segment integration trigger Web surveys?
Not at this time.
Currently, Delighted’s Segment integration can only trigger Email platform surveys. If you’re interested in the ability to trigger Web surveys via Segment, let us know—we appreciate the feedback!
Does the Segment integration support Additional Questions?
Yes.
Before looking for that Additional Response data in your Segment payload, take a moment to first move through this checklist to see if your responses are eligible to be synced back over to Segment:
- Was the survey originally triggered via the Segment integration?
- Have you set up the Delighted source in Segment?
- Have you checked the option for syncing feedback to Segment on the integration page?
If you answered "Yes" to all the above, we will sync Additional Response data collected in Delighted over to your Segment instance. Here's a screenshot of what that raw payload looks like:
What information will be passed from Segment to Delighted when surveys are triggered?
Any user details included in the track call used to trigger the Segment integration will be passed to Delighted as properties. This can include email, name, User ID, and any other details you'd like to capture about your survey respondents. All properties included in the survey trigger will also be passed back to Segment when syncing feedback, if this integration feature is used.
