Boomtrain Destination
Boomtrain is a predictive intelligence platform for marketers that uses machine learning to drive increased clicks, engagement and revenue through customer communications. Visit Website.
The Boomtrain destination with Segment supports the identify, track, and page methods. The JavaScript destination code is open source on the Boomtrain Segment integration GitHub repository.
To connect the Boomtrain destination, follow these steps:
- Turn on Boomtrain using the destinations catalog.
- Enter your Boomtrain API Key.
If you're not sure where to find your Boomtrain API Key, contact Boomtrain Support or your Boomtrain CSM directly.
When you enable Boomtrain in the Segment web app, your changes appear in the Segment CDN in about 45 minutes, and then Analytics.js starts asynchronously loading Boomtrain's JavaScript library onto your page.
- Once loaded, the Boomtrain JavaScript library automatically starts sending events to the Boomtrain system indicating that the current page has been viewed.
- When users visit pages on your site, the "viewed" events sent to the Boomtrain system will trigger ingestion of your content and processing by our machine learning algorithms.
- To start sending custom events and user data, use the JavaScript methods described below.
When you call identify on analytics.js, we call person.set on the Boomtrain JavaScript Library with the traits object. A userId must be specified. For additional details about the Boomtrain person.set methods see this article on the Boomtrain Developer Documentation.
When you call track, we will send the event you specify to the track method on the Boomtrain JavaScript library, along with the properties you provide.
Segment lets you change these settings in the destination settings without touching any code.
The App ID for your app can be taken from the destination guide provided by Boomtrain to your company. For additional information about your App ID or destination details, contact your Boomtrain CSM or support@boomtrain.com.
