Integration with Segment CDP (as Source)

Last updated December 24, 2023

 Segment     is a customer data platform that helps you collect, clean, and activate your customer data. Using Mailmodo Source allows you to export the campaign activity events generated after your contacts engage with the Mailmodo campaigns to Segment for further processing and analysis

Benefits of using Mailmodo Source

  1. Enhance your team's engagement and marketing strategies by consolidating all customer data in a single location.
  2. Merge the data from Mailmodo with the existing event data integrated into Segment.
  3. Utilize Mailmodo Source to seamlessly transmit these events to your desired destinations or data repositories.
  4. Obtain a comprehensive report on your engagement and marketing endeavors, capturing the complete picture.

A step-by-step guide to setup Mailmodo Source for Segment

Step 1: Add a new Mailmodo Source to Segement

  1. From your workspace’s     Sources catalog page     click Add Source.
  2. Search for “Mailmodo” in the Sources Catalog, select click Mailmodo, and click Add Source.
  3. On the next screen, give the Source a nickname and configure any other settings.
  4. The nickname is used as a label in the Segment app, and Segment creates a related schema name in your warehouse. The nickname can be anything, but we recommend using something that reflects the source itself and distinguishes it amongst your environments (e.g. Mailmodo_Campaigns).
  5. Click Add Source to save your settings.
  6. Copy the Write key from the Segment UI. You will need to input this key on the Mailmodo integration page.

Step 2: Enter connection details on Mailmodo

  1. Look for the Segment Source option on the Mailmodo Integration page. Click on the "Click to configure" option
  2. Enter your Write Key copied from Step 1 and select a Segment Region
  3. Click on "Test and Save" to complete the setup. 
  4. If the provided write key is valid, Mailmodo will now act as a Segment source. To confirm the same, you can check the source debugger within Segment to see if the event arrived. 

Step 3: Adding destination to Mailmodo Source

Now that your Source is set up, you can connect it with Destinations.

Log in to your downstream tools and make sure that the events are populating in your Debugger and that they contain all of the properties you expect. If something isn’t working as you expect, see the Destination docs for troubleshooting.

If there are problems with how the events arrive at Segment,     contact the Mailmodo Support team    .

Events

The following table lists events that Mailmodo sends to Segment. These events show up as tables in your Warehouse and as regular events in your other Destinations.

Sending Data To Mailmodo
