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.
