Contentstack Cloud Destination

• a Contentstack account with Personalize enabled
• a Contentstack Personalize project created in your Contentstack organization

• Contentstack Personalize Project: Create a Contentstack Personalize project within your organization and link your Contentstack stack to enable variant functionality.
• Attributes & Audiences: Define attributes and create audiences based on those attributes within your Contentstack Personalize project.
• Events: Define and create the events that you want to track and sync with your Contentstack Personalize project.

1. From your workspace's Destination catalog page search for "Contentstack".
2. Select Contentstack and click Add Destination.
3. Select an existing Source to connect to Contentstack.
4. Go to the Contentstack account and find the following parameters to input as settings in the Segment destiantion settings:
   • Personalize Project ID: Enter the unique ID of your Contentstack Personalize project.
   • Personalize Edge API Base URL: Enter the base URL of your Contentstack Personalize API. You can find this URL in the Contentstack documentation.

Build your own Mappings. Combine supported triggers with the following Contentstack Cloud-supported actions:

• Custom Attributes Sync
• Contentstack Browser Plugin
• Computed Attribute Sync
• Audience Sync

Sync Custom Attributes to your Contentstack Experience.

Custom Attributes Sync is a Cloud action. The default Trigger is type = "identify"

Enriches all Segment payloads with a value indicating if Attributes need to be created in Contentstack before they are synced.

Contentstack Browser Plugin is a Web action. The default Trigger is type = "track" or type = "identify" or type = "page" or type = "group" or type = "alias"

Sync Computed Attributes to your Contentstack Experience.

Computed Attribute Sync is a Cloud action. The default Trigger is type = "track" or type = "identify"

Sync Audiences to your Contentstack Experience.

Audience Sync is a Cloud action. The default Trigger is type = "track" or type = "identify"

Start sending the payload of events to Segment using Track or Identify calls. This will not only send events to Segment but will forward the selected values to Contentstack Personalization. Ensure your event payloads align with the mapping configuration you created for the Contentstack destination in Segment.

Based on your events/payloads, your Contentstack Personalize project should now start receiving events to help you understand the users associated with your mapped values.

The event names and properties you use must match those defined in your Contentstack Personalize project. For advanced customization and to further enhance your personalized experience, explore Contentstack Personalize in Contentstack's Documentation.

You can send computed traits and audiences generated using Engage to this destination as a user property. To learn more about Engage, schedule a demo.

For user-property destinations, an identify call is sent to the destination for each user being added and removed. The property name is the snake_cased version of the audience name, with a true/false value to indicate membership. For example, when a user first completes an order in the last 30 days, Engage sends an Identify call with the property order_completed_last_30days: true. When the user no longer satisfies this condition (for example, it's been more than 30 days since their last order), Engage sets that value to false.

When you first create an audience, Engage sends an Identify call for every user in that audience. Later audience syncs only send updates for users whose membership has changed since the last sync.

Segment lets you change these destination settings from the Segment app without having to touch any code.
