Evolv Segment Integration

Usage

When using the Segment integration, a map of Segment events to listen for and their respective Evolv events should be passed into the config in parametersToReadFromSegment.

The example config below will listen for the Segment events Button Clicked and Page View, and emit evolv-button-clicked and evolv-page-load to Evolv, respectively.

{
  "eventListenerAdapter": {
    "parametersToReadFromSegment": {
      "Button Clicked": "evolv-button-clicked",
      "Page View": "evolv-page-load"
    }
  }
}

Note: Only events that are defined in parametersToReadFromSegment will be caught and forwarded to Evolv.

Advanced Event Mapping

To map more complex events, consider a checkout page with 3 different steps. Each step has the same event name from Segment, so they can't be mapped 1:1, but we can match properties in the track call to map each of the steps:

// track call for first step:
analytics.track("Checkout Page Viewed", { step: 1 });

// track call for second step:
analytics.track("Checkout Page Viewed", { step: 2 });

// track call on third step:
analytics.track("Checkout Page Viewed", { step: 3 });

We can map all 3 steps as separate events in our config by passing the Segment event name as the key, and an array of objects as it's value. The objects in the array contain 2 keys: condition and event.

The value of condition is an object containing key/value pairs we want to match in the properties passed into the track call.

The value of event is a string containing the corresponding Evolv event to map to.

Example:

{
  "eventListenerAdapter": {
    "parametersToReadFromSegment": {
      "Checkout Page Viewed": [{
        "condition": {
          "step": 1
        },
        "event": "checkout-page-viewed-step-1"
      },{
        "condition": {
          "step": 2
        },
        "event": "checkout-page-viewed-step-2"
      },{
        "condition": {
          "step": 3
        },
        "event": "checkout-page-viewed-step-3"
      }]
    }
  }
}
