Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Google Cloud Overview

The Google Cloud API opens a world of possibilities for enhancing cloud operations and automating tasks. It empowers you to manage, scale, and fine-tune various services within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create intricate workflows, trigger cloud functions based on events from other apps, manage resources, and analyze data, all in a serverless environment. The ability to interconnect GCP services with numerous other apps enriches automation, making it easier to synchronize data, streamline development workflows, and deploy applications efficiently.

Description:The page method lets you record page views on your website, along with optional extra information about the page being viewed (note requires userId or anonymousId). See the docs [here](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/http-api/#page)
Version:0.2.4
Key:segment-page

Segment Overview

The Segment API enables you to collect, manage, and route your customer analytics data to various tools for marketing, analytics, and data warehousing. By harnessing the Segment API on Pipedream, you can automate the ingestion and syncing of user events and properties to multiple destinations, allowing you to create seamless data pipelines without manual intervention. Pipedream's serverless platform empowers you to build custom workflows that react to events in real-time, enrich data, or trigger actions across your tech stack.

LabelPropTypeDescription

Anonymous IDanonymousIdstring

A pseudo-unique substitute for a User ID, for cases when you don't have an absolutely unique identifier. A User ID or an Anonymous ID is required.

Contextcontextobject

Dictionary of destinations to either enable or disable

Page Namelabelstring

Name of the page

Page Propertiespropertiesobject

Free-form dictionary of properties of the page, like url and referrer

Timestamptimestampstring

Timestamp when the message itself took place, defaulted to the current time by the Segment Tracking API. It is an ISO-8601 date string. For example, 2022-04-08T17:32:11.318Z

User IDuserIdstring

Unique identifier for the user in your database., A User ID or an Anonymous ID is required.

Action Authentication

Segment uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Segment account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Segment APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Segment's APIs are accessed programmatically using access tokens, as well as write keys.

Access Token

Create access tokens via the Access Management page in your account: https://app.segment.com/{your-workspace-name}/settings/access-management. See "Get a Token" for more details. Please note, that you must be on a Team or Business plan to create an access token.

Write Key

You will also need to find your write key, which is a unique identifier for your Source. To find a write key, you first need to create a non-Cloud Source such as a website, server, or mobile source. (Cloud-sources do not have write keys, as they use a token or key from your account with that service.) Then, in the Source, go to “Settings’, and then go to “API Keys”. See "Locating Your Write Key" for more details.
