Onboarding

Segment channels offer a straightforward setup process using the Write Key to link your Segment account with EdgeTag. This connection allows your site to stream events into Segment. Let's walk through the steps.

Add Channel

To add a channel, begin by entering the channel's name. We recommend choosing a name that clearly describes the channel you are adding. This will assist with debugging if any issues arise. Once you have entered the name, you'll need to get your Write Key from your Segment account.

Get Write Key from Segment

Navigate to your Segment workspace and select Sources under Connections from the left menu. Click Add Source to begin creating a new source for EdgeTag.

In the catalog, search for Node.js and select it from the available options. Click "Add Source" to proceed with setting up the Node.js source.

Fill out the source configuration form with a descriptive name for your EdgeTag integration (such as "EdgeTag"). This name will help you identify the source later. Click Add Source to create the source.

Once the source is created, you'll see your Write Key displayed on the source overview page. This key is what EdgeTag will use to authenticate and send events to your Segment workspace.

Copy the Write Key and return to EdgeTag. Paste the Write Key into EdgeTag's Write Key field to complete the connection.

After entering your Write Key, click Save & Deploy to finalize the integration.
