Nudgespot Source
Source Info
- The Nudgespot Source is an Event Cloud source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.
This Source is supported in US data processing regions.
This Source is only supported in workspaces configured to process data in the US region. Workspaces configured with data processing regions outside of the US cannot connect to this source. For more information, see Regional Segment.
Nudgespot is the easiest way to trigger emails, SMS, push notifications or in-app messages to your customers, at the right time.
Take your company's email analysis to the next level by adding Nudgespot as a Source to Segment. Segment automatically collects email events like Email Delivered and Email Opened, forward them to your destinations, and load them into your data warehouse.
In your favorite BI or analytics tool, you'll be able to analyze your email campaigns in SQL or through drag-and-drop reports. And, you'll be able to join your Nudgespot data with the event data you're already sending through Segment to analyze the down-funnel effects of your emails.
If you have previously enabled sending email events using the Nudgespot destination during our beta (using a project write key), you do not need to create new Nudgespot source. Your email data will continue to flow as normal.
- From your workspace's Sources page, click
Add source. - Choose Nudgespot.
- Give the Source a nickname and a schema name. The nickname is a label used in the Segment interface, and the schema name is the namespace you query against in your warehouse. You can name them however you'd like, but we recommend sticking to something that reflects the Source itself, like
Nudgespotfor a source nickname andnudgespotfor the schema name. - The next page ("Overview") will surface your Segment write key for Nudgespot. Copy this write key.
- Open Nudgespot, navigate to Set up > Send Email Events to Segment.com, and paste your write key into the write key field.
- Click Save.
- In Segment, click into your Nudgespot Source in
segment.com/<your-workspace>/sources. From there you'll be able to add Destinations where you want to see email events.
That's it! As you send emails, events will now be sent to your destinations and automatically loaded into any warehouses you have enabled.
Stream
Nudgespot uses Segment's stream source component to send email events to Segment. It uses a server-side Track method to send data to Segment. These events are then available in any destination that accepts server-side events, and available in a schema in your data warehouse, so you can query using SQL.
The default behavior is for Nudgespot to pass the userId associated with the email recipient as the userId. There are cases in which Nudgespot does not have an associated userId, in which case the email address will be passed in as the anonymousId.
Collections are the groupings of data we pull from your Source. In your warehouse, each collection gets its own table, as well as a tracks table that aggregates all the events into a single table.
| Collection | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Email Delivered | Event | Message has been successfully delivered to the receiving server |
| Email Opened | Event | Recipient has opened the HTML message. You need to enable Open Tracking for getting this type of event |
| Email Link Clicked | Event | Recipient clicked on a link within the message. You need to enable Click Tracking for getting this type of event |
| Email Unsubscribed | Event | Recipient clicked on message's subscription management link |
| Email Bounced | Event | Receiving server could not or would not accept message |
| Email Marked as Spam | Event | Recipient marked message as spam |
The Nudgespot Source works better when you also connect Nudgespot as a destination. With the Nudgespot destination, you can use Segment to send Nudgespot user and event data from which you trigger email campaigns. Want to start sending website or mobile data TO Nudgespot?
