Account SQL Traits > rETL?

I wanted to run this by the community for advice and best practice.We use Account SQL Traits to enrich Account profiles today, so each computation generates a Group call and adds the traits to the Account.I built out a rETL model and have looked at the Segment Profiles destinations to replicate this approach with rETL. However, when configuring the Group mapping in the Segment Profiles destination, it requires that I set either an anonymousId or userId, neither of which I would have since I just want to enrich the Account profile.I don’t see a way to replicate Account SQL traits for this unless I generate/populate an arbitrary anonymous ID to use.  I’ve noticed that the Group calls that get generated from the account SQL Trait use a static anonymous ID - __segment_internal_personas_group. Would it be safe to simply use this exact same value in the Group mapping of the Segment Profiles destination in order to get it to work?

Did Segment Event Tracker stop working?

Hi all,Today I noticed that the Segment Event Tracker third-party Chrome extension has stopped working.At first, I thought it was just us, but then I checked app.segment.com, and there was nothing there either. At the same time, the official Segment Inspector works just fine.Weirdly enough, the Event Tracker does work on community.segment.com.Has anyone else experienced similar issues lately?

[Private Beta] Storing consent preferences in Unify Profile

 We are excited to announce the release of the next phase of Segment Consent Management: Storing end-user consent preferences on their Unify Profiles is now in Private Beta!Last year, we launched the ability to collect and enforce end-user consent preferences within Segment Connections and Reverse ETL when sharing data with 3P Destinations.Now, using these same events, Segment will stamp these preferences on to the Segment Profile as traits. With this beta release, customers can leverage consent traits on the profile to manually enforce consent in Engage Audiences. For more information, see the Storing Consent on the Profile documentation and demo. If you would like to participate in this Beta, send me a message with your workspace id or slug.

Question About Immutability of analytics.min.js for SRI Usage

Hello,We’re looking to implement Subresource Integrity (SRI) for enhanced security on our site and are importing the following script from your CDN:https://cdn.segment.com/analytics.js/v1/[key]/analytics.min.jsBefore proceeding, could you please confirm whether this JavaScript file is immutable—that is, once published at a given versioned path the content never changes?This is important for us to safely apply SRI, since the hash must remain valid over time.Thank you,

Linkedin Tracking best practices

Hi all, We have started looking into Linkedin ads and setting up the tracking seems to be very different to the other ads destinations. We have set up the Linkedin Insights Tag destination but all it really does it track button clicks and page urls. My question: should we be able to send the custom frontend events to Linkedin like we can for all the other ad destinations or do we have to go the manual route without using Segment?  Does anyone else use Linkedin Ads and would you be able to share any insights around fronted end tracking and the best way to set this up? Just a thought, it would be very helpful for Segment to have practical guides available in their documentation

how does canonical_segment_id is survived when profiles are merged

We are in the processing of utilized Profile Sync and ran into this question: how does canonical_segment_id is survived when profiles are merged?There is no straightforward documentation explaining the merging algorithm to determine the surviving canonical_segment_id when two profiles (with two different segment_id) are merged. We have performed some tests and noticed the first-created canonical_segment_id remained but would like to have a definite confirmation.

Using relative dates to create audiences based on event data

Hi. The question here is how to use relative dates within event properties when creating an audience.For example, I want to create an audience that automatically includes users who have performed a search for a hotel stay starting within the next 15 days.However, when I try to create the audience based on the "arrival_date" property, I can only select a fixed date, not a relative date like "in the next 15 days."Is there any way to solve this and be able to use relative dates?

Data Graph - Unify user traits for linked events

Hi guys,I’ve been trying to set up Data Graph. What I’d want to do with it is (I think) pretty straightforward. I’d like to use Linked Events to pull traits as they are known in Unify to populate those on events.I’m having trouble configuring the Data Graph so that it will actually allow me to pull these traits in mapping to any destination.At first I assumed that pointing to the Profile Sync dataset in our DWH would be enough for Segment to enable this. After all, Segment creates these tables with default schema’s so I figured it should work out of the box. I learned that this is not the case and that you’d need to set Enrichment first before you can select traits to populate on events.I set up an Enrichment that points to the user_traits materialized view, but that doesn’t work as there is no user_id in there to match on a property of any event.Currenlty the data graph looks like this:data_graph { version = "v1.0.0" profile { profile_folder = "PROJECT_NAME.segment_profile

Google Ads Conversions Destination: Conversions Action Setup Change

Google made updates to the Conversion Actions setup and removed the "using API or uploads” option that is still present in their docs.Old method still in the Google docs:Select Other data sources or CRMs if you'd like to integrate your CRM directly, or alternatively select Manual import using API or uploads.Click Continue.There are now options to add a source (such as Hubspot) - but no option to use the API that used to be the setup method. Have you run into a fix for this.Flow = Google Ads -> Goals -> New Conversion Action -> Conversions offline -> (no options for API only "data sources" and Segment is not an option). The Twilio option is for the comms business because it uses Zapier.Thanks

Dear sir,usually we are using the following code from Segment to delete users (Ex. Customer.io):analytics.track({ userId: oldData.id, event: 'User Deleted',});This can work if used to delete customer.io user by adding a specific action to the mappings, but I can’t see how can I delete Mixpanel user using the same Segment code.can you help to suggest a way to delete mixpanel users using the same trigger?

If a website is already utilizing a tag management system (such as Tealium iQ, Google Tag Manager, or another tool), would it be possible to leverage the existing setup to send website events to Segment? If so, what are the best practices for implementing this integration? Additionally, are there any official documents or resources available to guide this process?

Handeling null values on a property

Hi everyone,We’re having a challenge with some events that in some cases have a null value on a property. We want to send the events to GA4 Cloud. That destination does not accept null values so it will fail the event if we try to send it.We figured to solve this with a coalesce on the mapping of these properties. Then, if it has null, it would use the fallback value to replace null with a string. It turns out you can not set a static value in the coalesce function on the mapping. It will only allow to select 2 properties in the coalesce function.We try to avoid using an insert function as that makes the setup way more complex in our opinion.Are there any ways around this? Thanks!

About Google Analytics 4 tracking

Hi,I have some tracking issues with GA 4 integration.I have many people who are coming from different referrers but get attributed to “direct / none” because of the flow of our system. It works perfectly on Mixpanel but not so much with GA 4.The flow is the following :The user comes from referral A to page B, goes through an identification process, and then arrives on page C. On page C, we made four actions:track(“Authorized”) alias(newUserId) identify(newUserId) track(“SignedUp”)All the track actions “Signed Up” are in the direct / none channel because I think GA 4 does not understand that the track is from the previous user (before the identify) and not after. It seems the alias call is not used at all.But the track “Authorized” has good tracking.Is there something that we could do to say to GA 4, like mixpanel, to alias people?

Conversion tracking and enhanced conversions

Hi all, Can anyone share online video tutorials for setting up the ad destinations in the right manner so that we can track conversions and send through enhancements correctly using Segment. Seem to be having a little trouble in some instances and would like to view something on best practices or just general guides. Specifics: can you send through an enhanced conversion and a Restatement conversion for the same event to Google Ads Conversions destination? They will obviously be sent at the same time. I presume so but cant find anything to confirm. The Bing ads setup is easy enough but the setup of conversion goals in Microsoft Ads is  confusing as using Segment does not require us to add the UET tag to the site but the setup in Bing makes reference to it continually
