Segment.io Integration

If you already use Segment inside your application and want to integrate Pointzi data with your segment data, then please follow the below instructions to ensure the Segment ID is linked to the Pointzi InstallID.

NOTE: Pointzi will store Segment's "Identify" Traits only, please filter out other events such as "Track". Pointzi supports Traits of the following types: String, Numeric, Datetime (a string in ISO-8601 format), These types map directly to Pointzi's Tags. Pointzi will ignore structures.

IOS

Swift:

After Segment initialisation, during registration simply pass segment anonymousId into Pointzi register function

 let segmentId = Analytics.shared().getAnonymousId()
    Pointzi.sharedInstance().registerInstall(forApp: <appkey>, segmentId: segmentId, withDebugMode: false) {
            Pointzi.sharedInstance().tagCuid(segmentId)
            Analytics.shared().identify("", traits: [
                "sh_cuid": segmentId,
                "email": "myuser@acme.com",
                "gender": "male",
                "phone": "+14088123123"
            ])
    }

If you didn't link segment during Pointzi registration and would like to do it at any other place in your application

Android

1.After Segment initialisation, simply pass segment anonymousId into Pointzi/Streethawk register function

1
Pointzi.INSTANCE.init(getApplication, <appKey>,  "anonymousID");
Note to get your anonymousID you can do: 
1
2
3
4
 com.segment.analytics.Analytics.with(MyActivity.this)
                .getAnalyticsContext()
                .traits()
                .anonymousId()

2.Pointzi/StreetHawk provides a ISHEventObserver to inform notification center about initialisation of SDK is done. Therefore, please register a notification as

public class MyActivity .... implements ISHEventObserver {

Pointzi.INSTANCE.init(getApplication, "MyAppKey",  "anonymousID", this);
.......

@Override
public void onInstallRegistered(String installId){
}

@Override
public void onInstallRegisterError(String errorMsg) {
}

3.Please call segment api such as sending traits in the callback function onInstallRegistered

@Override
public void onInstallRegistered(String installId){
    com.segment.analytics.Analytics.with(MainActivity.this).identify(
            new com.segment.analytics.Traits().putName("Michael Bolton"));
}
