Supported methods

Engage Messaging supports the following methods, as specified in the Segment Spec.

Identify

Send Identify calls to identify the user profile and traits on Engage. For example:

analytics.identify('userId123', {
  email: 'john.doe@example.com'
});

If the user already exists on Engage, identify can also be used to update the user traits. Segment sends Identify calls to Engage Messaging as an identify event.

Track

Send Track calls to track user events and actions. For example:

analytics.track('Login Button Clicked')

Segment sends Track calls to Engage Messaging as a track event.

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.
