Selligent Source
Source Info
- The Selligent Source is an Object Cloud source. This means that it sends information (traits) about a thing that exists and persists over time, such as a person or company, and which can be updated over time. Data from this source can only be exported directly to a warehouse, but it can then be used for further analysis. 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.
Selligent is a cross-channel marketing platform that allows brands to effectively engage with their customers across email, mobile, social, display and web channels.
Take your company's email analysis to the next level by adding Selligent 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 Selligent data with the event data you're already sending through Segment to analyze the down-funnel effects of your emails.
If you've previously enabled sending email events using the Selligent destination during our beta (using a project write key), you do not need to create new Selligent source. Your email data will continue to flow as normal.
- From your workspace's Sources catalog page, click Add source.
- Choose Selligent.
- 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
Selligentfor nickname andselligentfor the schema name. - The Overview page surfaces your Segment write key for Selligent. Copy this write key.
- To finish the setup, send your write key to your Selligent Account Manager. They will enable the Source for you on Selligent's end.
- Click Save.
- In Segment, click into your Selligent Source in
segment.com/<your-workspace>/sources. From there, you'll be able to add destinations where you want to see email events.
As you send emails, events will now send to your destinations and automatically load into any enabled warehouses.
Stream
Selligent uses our stream Source component to send Segment email events. 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 Selligent to pass the userId associated with the email recipient as the userId. There are cases in which Selligent 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 |
