Segment Component for Edgee

This component implements the data collection protocol between Edgee and Segment.

Quick Start

1. Download the latest component version from our releases page
2. Place the segment.wasm file in your server (e.g., /var/edgee/components)
3. Add the following configuration to your edgee.toml:

[[components.data_collection]]
id = "segment"
file = "/var/edgee/components/segment.wasm"
settings.segment_api_key = "..."

Event Handling

Event Mapping

The component maps Edgee events to Segment events as follows:

Edgee Event	Segment Event	Description
Page	page	Triggered when a user views a page
Track	track	Uses the provided event name directly
User	identify	Used for user identification only

User Event Handling

Each time you make a user call, Edgee will send an identify event to Segment.

But when you make a user call using Edgee's JS library or Data Layer, the user_id, anonymous_id and properties are stored in the user's device. This allows the user's data to be added to any subsequent page or follow-up calls for the user, so that you can correctly attribute these actions.

Configuration Options

Basic Configuration

[[components.data_collection]]
id = "segment"
file = "/var/edgee/components/segment.wasm"
settings.segment_api_key = "..."

# Optional configurations
settings.edgee_anonymization = true        # Enable/disable data anonymization in case of pending or denied consent
settings.edgee_default_consent = "pending" # Set default consent status if not specified by the user

Event Controls

Control which events are forwarded to Segment:

settings.edgee_page_event_enabled = true   # Enable/disable page event
settings.edgee_track_event_enabled = true  # Enable/disable track event
settings.edgee_user_event_enabled = true   # Enable/disable user event

Consent Management

Before sending events to Segment, you can set the user consent using the Edgee SDK:

edgee.consent("granted");

Or using the Data Layer:

<script id="__EDGEE_DATA_LAYER__" type="application/json">
  {
    "data_collection": {
      "consent": "granted"
    }
  }
</script>

If the consent is not set, the component will use the default consent status.

Consent	Anonymization
pending	true
denied	true
granted	false
