Integration using Segment
This section serves as a guideline for developers on the Publisher backend, facilitating the integration of Zendrive webhook with Segment.
Prerequisites:
Publishers have accounts in Segment.io to obtain access to the required API keys.
The webhook provided by Zendrive backend service has a
driver_id. This unique identifier is used to send data to Segment.
Procedure:
Log in to Segment.io.
To send data to Segment, add a
Source. For example, to send data from Python Server to Segment: Go to Catalog → Sources → Search for Python → Add Source. a. To set up Segment using Python, refer to Quickstart: Python | Segment Documentation. Below is the code snippet that must be added to the server:
import segment.analytics as analytics
analytics.write_key = 'YOUR_WRITE_KEY'
analytics.identify(‘test_driver’, {
'email': ‘test_driver@gmail.com’,
'name': ‘Test user’
})
analytics.track(‘test_driver’, ‘Webhook fired’, {
'type': ‘Webhook fired’,
'subtype': ‘First trip’,
'trips_count': 1
})b. The function records two events with the required payload: Identify and Track.
c. The events are recorded in the Segment as follows:
To forward data to MarTech tools like Iterable, Braze, and others, use the Destination feature.
For example, To send data to Iterable from Segment: Go to Catalog → Destinations → Search for Iterable → Add Destination.
