Custom Integration¶
Custom Integration (Backend Side) Guide and Restful API
Beta
This integration method is in beta and not recommended for frontend use. Please check other integration methods.
Introduction¶
This tutorial provides a very simple and quick introduction to the Segmentify integration for custom applications by walking you through details of different events. Segmentify has a RESTful API to feed important events like page/product information and visitor actions to the Segmentify Engine.
Integration¶
This guide will help you to integrate different events (visitor actions) and also product recommnendations, engagement campaigns. Integration can be divided into following steps:
- Event Types
- Event/Request Details
- Response Details
- User & Session Management
- Common Parameters
- Page View
- Product View
- Basket Operations
- Checkout Operations
- User/Visitor Operations
- Custom Event
- Interaction
- Form/Survey
- Banners
- Tracking
Event Types¶
Segmentify uses different event types for different visitor actions. You can define following events by using Segmentify RESTful API:
Event | Description | Event Name |
---|---|---|
Page | It is send when a visitor views a page | PAGE_VIEW |
Product | It is send when a visitor views a product | PRODUCT_VIEW |
Basket | It is send when a visitor makes a basket action (add product to basket or remove product from basket) | BASKET_OPERATIONS |
Checkout | It is send when a visitor makes a checkout action (views basket, enter customer information, enter payment information, finishes purchase) | CHECKOUT |
User | It is send when a visitor makes a user action or use this event to update information about customers | USER_OPERATIONS |
Custom | It is send when to identify any visitor action that has no predefined value in Segmentify | CUSTOM_EVENT |
Interaction | It is send when a visitor makes an interaction like click, view a widget, submit, etc. | INTERACTION |
Form | It is send when a visitor submits a form or survey | USER_FORM |
Banner | It is send when visitors views or clicks to banners | BANNER_VIEW or BANNER_OPERATIONS |
Request Details¶
In order to use Segmentify RESTful API, you must be make POST requests to your data center end point with event details at request body. Request body must be formed as a valid json array.
Segmentify accounts have two important system variables used in integration: API KEY and Data Center. You can access these values from Integrations menu of Segmentify Panel:
System Variable | Description |
---|---|
Api Key | unique Segmentify key value to send events |
Data Center | data center end point to send Segmentify events |
To access Integrations menu of Segmentify Panel, please login to your Segmentify account and navigate to
Settings > Integrations
.
Request body should be a json array whose elements are Segmentify events that will be described in the next sections, you can send multiple events with a single request.
Request Endpoint¶
Requests must be made to proper end point. Endpoint url format is like
Request Endpoint Format:
<DATA CENTER URL>/add/events/v1.json?apiKey=<APIKEY>
Data Center Url is account specific and you should use the end point shown at Integrations page under Account Settings.
Example Data Center Url:
https://dce1.segmentify.com
Api Key is your account's unique key to send requests to Segmentify RESTful Api, and you can learn your Api Key from Integrations page under Account Settings
Example Api Key:
XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
Proper request end point is changing data center url and api key with your account specific value.
Example Request Endpoint:
https://dce1.segmentify.com/add/events/v1.json?apiKey=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
Request Headers¶
Segmentify Restful API is based on json, so headers should match content type and response type.
All request should have the following headers:
Header | Value |
---|---|
Content-Type | application/json |
Accept | application/json |
Request Body¶
Request body should be a json array whose elements are Segmentify events that will be described in this document.
An example request body will be in this format:
[
{
"name": "PAGE_VIEW",
"userId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"sessionId": "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY",
"device": "IOS",
"pageUrl": "http://www.exampleshop.com/",
"referrer": "http://www.google.com/",
"category": "Product Page",
"subCategory": "Men > Sports"
},
{
"name": "PRODUCT_VIEW",
"userId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"sessionId": "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY",
"device": "IOS",
"productId": "EXAMPLE_PRODUCT_1"
}
]
--
Response Details¶
RESTful API returns different status codes to show you status of your request. Summary of status codes are given:
Status Code | Description |
---|---|
200 - OK | Request has reached to Segmentify Server and it is processed. Please check Response Body for details. |
400 - Bad Request | The request was unacceptable, often due to wrong request type. You should make a POST request for sending events. |
404 - Not Found | The requested resource doesn't exist, often due to illformed request url |
429 - Too Many Requests | Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests. |
5XX - Server Errors | Something went wrong on Segmentify's end. |
Response Body¶
Segmentify event requests returns a json object as reponse.
Example format of response body is given below:
{
"campaigns": [
[],
[]
],
"responses": [
[],
[]
],
"timestamp": 1501142345512
}
If request is taken successfully, but there is an error with the request, statusCode
variable shows the error. Example format of response body indicating an error is given below:
{
"timestamp": "",
"responses": [],
"statusCode": "NO_DOMAIN_APIKEY_MATCH"
}
Details of response errors are given in secotion API Errors
API Errors¶
If your request body has a field statusCode
, then you have an error in your request. Details of errors are given in below table:
Error Code | Description |
---|---|
NO_API_KEY | Your request doesn't have an apiKey parameter, please provide apiKey parameter at the request with your account's unique api key. |
NO_ACCOUNT | Given api key is not associated with a Segmentify account, please check your api key value. |
UNVERIFIED_ACCOUNT | Account associated with api key is not a verified account. To verify your account, please check your email and verify it. |
FAILED_ACCOUNT | Account associated with api key is not an active account. Please contact with support team to re-activate your account. |
NO_DOMAIN_APIKEY_MATCH | Each Segmentify account is associated with a domain. Please check your domain and provide at requests with header Origin . Check Reqeust Details for required headers. |
UNVERIFIED_ACCOUNT | Account associated with api key is not a verified account. To verify your account, please check your email and verify it. |
NO_EVENT | There is no events inside request body. You should add at least one event with each request. |
NO_USERID | Each Segmentify event should have an userId parameter, and at least one event in the request lacks this parameter. |
NO_SESSIONID | Each Segmentify event should have an sessionId parameter, and at least one event in the request lacks this parameter. |
BAD_INPUT | Your request body should be a json array of Segmentify events. It is malformed, please check your json object for validity. |
User & Session Management¶
Each event has to have user and session id fields to uniquely identify the user using your store and current session through out the visit.
User and session ids can be generated by Segmentify and new ids can be reached by making GET requests to following url:
<DATA CENTER URL>/get/key?count=<KEY COUNT TO GENERATE>
Data Center Url is account specific and you should use the end point shown at Integrations page under Account Settings.
Example Data Center Url:
https://dce1.segmentify.com
You should ask for one key to just getting key for session id, and ask for two keys to get keys for both user id and session id.
Example Key Generate Request:
GET
https://dce1.segmentify.com/get/key?count=1
// for just session idGET
https://dce1.segmentify.com/get/key?count=2
// for both user id and session id
Request Body is a simple array with number of keys you have asked for. Example request body is shown below for two key request:
["XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX","YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"]
Alternative approach is creating and using your own unique ids. These ids can be any string, but must be unique for each user and session.
