Segment integration

Enable Xtremepush as a destination in Segment

The Segment integration allows you to use Xtremepush as your multichannel messaging hub by adding it as a destination in Segment. Customer data from Segment can be routed to Xtremepush in real-time which can be used to trigger campaigns or launch journeys. You can route identified customers, their associated traits, and any action data that is tracked in Segment.

The Xtremepush integration with Segment gives access to the following Segment APIs:

Create a connection to Segment

Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Marketplace, select the Segment card and click Connect.

Give your connection a unique Name that helps you easily identify it, click Connect to confirm.

The Overview page will show you the API token needed to add a destination in Segment.

Segment platform

Go to Destinations and click Add destination. Search for "Xtremepush" in the destinations catalog and select. Enter the API token from Xtremepush and click Save. Review the Segment documentation for more information.

User identifiers

When you identify a user, Segment passes that user’s information to Xtremepush where we will update or create a new user profile based on whether a profile exists with that User ID.

Some special traits will also be used as additional user identifiers:

Segment traitXtremepush user identifier
emailemail
phonemobile_number

Custom profile attributes

For any additional traits you want to save you should create user profile attributes in your Xtremepush project.

If a trait does not match a custom Xtremepush user profile attribute and is not recognised as a user identifier it will be ignored.
