Chameleon Destination
Destination Info
- Accepts Alias, Group, Identify and Track calls.
- Refer to it as Chameleon in the Integrations object
Components
The Chameleon destination code is open-source on GitHub. You can view the Chameleon integration source.
When you enable the Segment direct destination on the Chameleon dashboard, Chameleon immediately starts receiving your app's user and event data collected by Segment.
You may need to enable your website domain on the Chameleon Domains Dashboard to see User events and properties on Chameleon.
Identify calls let you target product tours to specific segments of users. Read more about how segmentation works in Chameleon's docs.
At a minimum, send the following traits:
emailname
Send properties that you would like to use to segment users into a handful of groups. Examples of properties you might use to segment users include:
account role(admin vs user)account value(paid vs free)account status(converted vs retained)
Examples of other specific properties you might send include:
credit(# of dollars in account)respoitory_count(# of authorized items)support_requests_count(# of touchpoints generated)chats_count(# of times user reached out for help)
The more Chameleon knows about your user, the more effectively you can target them. For example, you could show different tutorials to the account admin and other team members.
Send your app's events to Chameleon for two main reasons:
- Signal a
conversionfrom a product tour (a user successfully completing the action that they were prompted to take with the tour). - Trigger a specific product tour.
Product tours should lead to user actions, so each Chameleon product tour offers the option of tagging a 'conversion event' that helps you track how successful your tour is. Chameleon collects data about each tour (users starting, completing, and conversions) and sends it back to your preferred analytics provider. Read more about the analytics Chameleon tracks.
For more information, refer to Chameleon's docs or email them.
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 Chameleon 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.
