What Does This Plugin Do?
This plugin uses Segment to clean, collect and control customer data. It helps monitor performance, define decision-making processes and identify customers' interests.
Setup
- Run
npm install --save @botonic/plugin-segment
to install the plugin. - Add it to the
src/plugins.js
file:
src/plugins.js
export const plugins = [
{
id: 'segment',
resolve: require('@botonic/plugin-segment'),
options: {
writeKey: 'YOUR_WRITE_KEY',
},
},
]
Use
The default behavior of this plugin is to:
- Identify the user during the first bot interaction.
- Track
track
a page event to Segment from then on.
If you prefer to track your events manually, you can add the flag trackManually: true
in your options. Once set, you can use them inside the method botonicInit
on each Botonic component you want to track:
static async botonicInit({ input, session, params, lastRoutePath, plugins }) {
let { segment } = plugins
let userId = session.user.id
let event = 'This is the name of the current event I'm tracking'
let traits = { name: 'Peter', email: 'peter@domain.com', plan: 'premium' }
await segment.identify({
input,
session,
userId: userId,
traits: traits
})
let properties = {
name: "Some interesting data",
value: "14.99"
}
await segment.track({ input, session, userId: userId, event, properties })
}
