Page
If you’re not familiar with the Segment Specs, take a look to understand what the Page method does. An example call would look like:
analytics.page()
Page calls will save your data in SlicingDice using the following columns:
{source_name}-pages-page-event
: contains thename
attribute of the call{source_name}-pages-{attribute_name}
: contains theproperties
attributes of the call, saving each one as an individual column{source_name}-pages-context-{attribute_name}
: contains thecontext
attributes of the call, saving each one as an individual column
Screen
If you’re not familiar with the Segment Specs, take a look to understand what the Screen method does. An example call would look like:
[[SEGAnalytics sharedAnalytics] screen:@"Home"];
Screen calls will be sent to SlicingDice using the following columns:
{source_name}-screens-screen-event
: contains thename
attribute of a Screen call{source_name}-screens-{attribute_name}
: contains theproperties
attributes of a Screen call, saving each one as an individual column{source_name}-screens-context-{attribute_name}
: contains thecontext
attributes of a Screen call, saving each one as an individual column
Identify
If you’re not familiar with the Segment Specs, take a look to understand what the Identify method does. An example call would look like:
analytics.identify('userId123', {
email: 'john.doe@example.com'
});
Identify calls will be sent to SlicingDice using the following columns:
{source_name}-identifies-user-id
: contains the “userId” attribute of an Identify call{source_name}-identifies-{attribute_name}
: contains the “traits” attributes of an Identify call, saving each one as an individual column{source_name}-identifies-context-{attribute_name}
: contains the “context” attributes of an Identify call, saving each one as an individual column
Track
If you’re not familiar with the Segment Specs, take a look to understand what the Track method does. An example call would look like:
analytics.track('Clicked Login Button')
Track calls will be sent to SlicingDice using the following columns:
{source_name}-track-event
: contains the “event” attribute of a Track call{source_name}-track-{attribute_name}
: contains the “properties” attributes of a Track call, saving each one as an individual column{source_name}-track-context-{attribute_name}
: contains the “context” attributes of a Track call, saving each one as an individual column
Observation: if your context
attribute has nested attributes, your column names will follow this pattern: {source_name}-track-context-{attribute_name}{nested_attribute_name}
Groups
If you’re not familiar with the Segment Specs, take a look to understand what the Group method does. An example call would look like:
analytics.group("0e8c78ea9d97a7b8185e8632", {
name: "Initech",
industry: "Technology",
employees: 329,
plan: "enterprise",
"total billed": 830
});
Group calls will be sent to SlicingDice using the following columns:
{source_name}-groups-group-id
: contains thegroupID
attribute of a Group call{source_name}-groups-{attribute_name}
: contains thetraits
attributes of a Group call, saving each one as an individual column-
{source_name}-groups-context-{attribute_name}
: contains the “context” attributes of a Group call, saving each one as an individual columnObservation: Group calls will also be sent to SlicingDice using the following Account columns that holds the latest state of a group.
{source_name}-accounts-group-id
: contains thegroupId
attribute of a Group call{source_name}-accounts-{attribute_name}
: contains thetraits
attributes of a Track call, saving each one as an individual column{source_name}-accounts-context-{attribute_name}
: contains thecontext
attributes of a Track call, saving each one as an individual column
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.
Real-time to batch destination sync frequency
Real-time audience syncs to SlicingDice may take six or more hours for the initial sync to complete. Upon completion, a sync frequency of two to three hours is expected.
Settings
Segment lets you change these destination settings from the Segment app without having to touch any code.
