What you'll send to Segment
When you connect Candu to Segment, all Candu events are automatically forwarded. This includes:
Content views: when users see your content
Call-to-action clicks: button clicks, card clicks, and link interactions
Checklist interactions: individual item completions and full checklist completions
For a complete list of events and their properties, see Candu's eventing schema documentation.
Important: There is currently no event filtering available for the Segment integration on the Candu side. Once enabled, all Candu events are sent to Segment, and you cannot choose which events to send from Candu.
Filtering options and their limitations
The number of events Candu generates depends on:
How many active content pieces you have published
How many users see and interact with that content
What types of content you're using (tours generate more events than banners)
Segment offers filtering at different stages, depending on your pricing plan:
Schema Controls: allows you to block specific event types before they're ingested by Segment. This would prevent them from counting toward your usage limits.
Destination filters: allows you to control where data goes after Segment has ingested it. These do not reduce your usage costs.
Warehouse Selective Sync: allows you to choose which events, properties, and sources sync to your data warehouse. Like destination filters, this happens after ingestion and doesn't reduce Segment costs.
How to set up the integration
For detailed setup instructions, see Segment's Candu source documentation.
Quick overview:

Find Segment in the list of available integrations
Toggle on and enter your Segment Write Key

Once connected, Candu will automatically begin sending events to Segment. You can then route this data to any analytics tools connected to your Segment workspace.
