Amazon EventBridge (Actions) Destination
Beta
This feature is in active development and may change before general availability.
Amazon EventBridge (Actions) is a serverless event bus that routes real-time data between applications, AWS services, and SaaS tools — making it easy to build scalable, event-driven systems without custom integration code.
Segment maintains this destination. For any issues with the destination, contact the Segment Support team.
- From your workspace's Destination catalog page search for "Amazon EventBridge (Actions)".
- Select "Amazon EventBridge (Actions)" and click Add destination.
- Choose the source you want to connect to Amazon EventBridge (Actions) and create the destination.
- In your AWS account, find the EventBridge event bus. Copy your AWS Account ID, then paste it into the AWS Account ID field in the destination settings in Segment.
- Select the appropriate AWS Region for your EventBridge destination and save the changes.
- Go to the Mappings tab, click + New Mapping, then choose the Send mapping type. Configure your event trigger and field mappings as needed.
- (Required:) Before saving your mapping, create a Partner Source. This creates a new EventBridge Partner Event Source in your AWS account if it does not already exist. The source name is
aws.partner/segment.com/SEGMENT_SOURCE_ID. If you don't complete this step, data won't flow to EventBridge. - (Optional:) Once the EventBridge Partner Event Source is created in your AWS account, you can associate the source with the EventBridge Event Bus.
- Save and enable your mappings.
- Enable the destination in settings to send data to Amazon EventBridge.

Build your own Mappings. Combine supported triggers with the following Amazon EventBridge-supported actions:

The event data to send to Amazon EventBridge.
Detail Type of the event. Used to determine what fields to expect in the event Detail. Value cannot be longer than 128 characters.
Optional
AWS resources, identified by Amazon Resource Name (ARN), which the event primarily concerns. Any number, including zero, may be present.
Optional
The timestamp the event occurred. Accepts a date in ISO 8601 format.

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.
Real-time to batch destination sync frequency
Real-time audience syncs to Amazon EventBridge (Actions) may take six or more hours for the initial sync to complete. Upon completion, a sync frequency of two to three hours is expected.
Segment lets you change these destination settings from the Segment app without having to touch any code.
