What it does
Twilio Segment combines a customer data pipeline with broader identity, audience and journey capabilities. Connections supplies event collection and routing; larger customer-data arrangements add unified profiles and activation.
Twilio Segment's Connections product collects events and routes them to analytical and business tools. Broader customer-data packages add unified profiles, audiences and journeys.
For a website, create a JavaScript source in your Segment workspace. Name the source and choose its environment label, then copy the snippet from Connections > Sources > JavaScript into the page head. The write key is also available under the source's Settings > API Keys.
The source's Debugger shows incoming events after instrumentation. It displays a sample of up to 500 events; pausing that display does not pause collection. Anonymous activity receives an anonymous ID. An identify call can associate activity with your application's known user ID and optional traits.
| Connections plan | Monthly tracked users | Source and warehouse scope |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 1,000 | 2 sources; 1 warehouse; daily warehouse sync |
| Team | Starts at 10,000 | Unlimited sources; twice-daily warehouse sync |
| Business | Custom | Larger deployment and governance needs |
A tracked user can be identified or anonymous. Free is continuing access, while Team has a 14-day trial. A Segment user account and workspace are required to configure collection.
