Insider Source


Source Info
  • The Insider Source is an Event Cloud source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.

Components

Stream

Insider uses a server-side track method to send data to Segment. These events are then available in any destination that accepts server-side events, and available in a schema in your data warehouse, so you can query using SQL.

The default behavior is for Insider to pass the uuid (unique user ID) associated with the user as the userId. This is the same userId that Insider originally receives from the downstream destination with Segment. You can easily change the identity attribute to email, phone number, uuid, or any custom attribute. If the selected identifier is not present or you want to pass additional identifier under anonymousID, Insider is capable of sending a secondary selected identifier as anonymousID.

The table below lists events that Insider sends to Segment. These events appear as tables in your warehouse, and as regular events in other Destinations.

Adding Destinations

Log into your downstream tools and check to see that your events appear as expected, and that they contain all of the properties you expect. If your events and properties don’t appear, check the Event Delivery tool, and refer to the Destination docs for each tool for troubleshooting.

If there are any issues with how the events are arriving to Segment, contact the Insider support team.
