Send events to Segment

Start sending the payload of events to Segment using track or identify calls. This will not only send events to Segment but will forward the selected values to Contentstack Personalization. Ensure your event payloads align with the mapping configuration you created for the Contentstack destination in Segment.

Receive personalized content

Based on your events/payloads, your Contentstack Personalize project should now start receiving events for understanding the users associated with your mapped values.

The event names and properties you use must match those defined in your Contentstack Personalize project. For advanced customization and to further enhance your personalized experience, explore Contentstack Personalize in Contentstack’s Documentation.
