Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Segment	`segmentApp`	`app`	This component uses the Segment app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Workspace	`workspace`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Source	`source`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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 Config API is accessed programmatically using access tokens. Create access tokens via the Access Management page in your account: https://app.segment.com/{your-workspace-name}/settings/access-management. See Authentication for more details.
