CommandBar Destination

CommandBar gives your users a searchable index of your app’s features and content, as well as customizable in-app components, like onboarding nudges. This helps you to better understand user intent and deliver step-change improvements in UX, for new and power users alike. By connecting Segment to CommandBar as a destination, you can trigger nudges and customize CommandBar functionality based on user events and user attributes. The integration also allows you to deploy CommandBar to your users.

To configure CommandBar as an Event Source to get data into your warehouse or other downstream tools, see the CommandBar Source documentation.
