Getting Started

Before you start, make sure Vitally supports the source type and connection mode you’ve chosen to implement. You can learn more about connection modes here.

Enabling Vitally as a destination in Segment can be done in one click from your Vitally account. These instructions are also detailed in the Vitally help center.

1. Navigate to the Segment integration page within your Vitally account. This can be found in your Account Settings in Vitally by navigating to the Product Data integrations list.

1. In a separate tab/window, make sure you are logged into your Segment account
2. Configure the Segment integration using the one-click “Enable with Segment” button. Choose the primary source of product usage data in Segment and Segment will automatically create a destination for Vitally:

1. You’ll now be able to see and manage your Vitally Destination directly from your Segment workspace

1. That’s it! Once we receive at least 1 event from Segment, you’ll be able to proceed with the set up process and configure how to create accounts from Segment

Identify

If you haven’t had a chance to review the spec, take a look tounderstand what the Identify method does. An example call would look like:

analytics.identify('userId123', {
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john.doe@yourcustomer.com',
  avatar: 'https://yourdomain.com/avatars/johndoe.png',
  role: 'CEO'
});

Identify calls are used by Vitally to maintain a picture of a single user. The traits you pass to the Identify call will be displayed on the user’s dashboard and can be used for sorting and filtering users within an account and across all of your users.

Passing along the following traits will correspond to what is displayed in Vitally:

• name is used to set the name of the user in Vitally
• email sets the user’s email in Vitally
• avatar is used to display an avatar for the user

Track

If you haven’t had a chance to review the spec, take a look tounderstand what the Track method does. An example call would look like:

analytics.track('enabled-slack-integration', {
   channel: '#support'
})

Track calls are used in Vitally to track and analyze your accounts’ engagement with your product. Vitally provides out-of-the box analysis on your events, plus the ability to define your own custom metrics on top of those events, like Success Metrics and Elements.

Group

If you haven’t had a chance to review the spec, take a look tounderstand what the Group method does. An example call would look like:

analytics.group("accountId123", {
  name: "Initech",
  industry: "Technology",
  plan: "enterprise",
  mrr: 2000
});

Group calls are used by Vitally to maintain a picture of an account. Any traits you pass to the Group call are added to the account in Vitally and can be used to analyze your customer base as a whole. You can view a customer’s traits on their dashboard, use them for sorting and filtering, configure rules to automate your customer success process, and even create segments of your accounts.

Passing along the following traits will correspond to what is displayed in Vitally:

• name is used to set the name of the account in Vitally

Personas

You can send computed traits and audiences generated using Segment Personas to this destination as a user property. To learn more about Personas, contact us for 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, Personas 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), Personas sets that value to false.

When you first create an audience, Personas 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.
