== How to connect Segment.com to your ActiveCampaign account ==

Segment.com is an analytics tool that allows you to track your data once and send it to any tool you wish to use. Connecting Segment.com to your ActiveCampaign account facilitates a two-way sync, allowing your ActiveCampaign account to receive and send data effectively. This integration is vital as it enhances your tracking capabilities and provides insights that are crucial for optimizing your marketing efforts and improving customer engagement.

This article provides a detailed guide on how to set up and manage the Segment.com integration with your ActiveCampaign account.

=== How to access this feature ===

To access the Segment.com integration, you need to have an active Segment.com account and an ActiveCampaign account (available on Starter, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans). Once logged into both accounts, you can proceed to connect them.

=== Step-by-step instructions ===

Follow these steps to connect your Segment.com account with ActiveCampaign:

# Log into your Segment.com account.
# Navigate to your Segment workspace and add '''ActiveCampaign''' as a "Destination."
# Provide your ActiveCampaign '''API URL''' and '''Key'''. You can find this information on the '''Settings > Developer''' page within your ActiveCampaign account.
# From your ActiveCampaign account, enable '''Site Tracking''' and/or '''Event Tracking'''.
   * For '''Site Tracking''':
     # Enable and whitelist your website URLs. There is no need to add the Site Tracking code if you are sending the page events through Segment.
   * For '''Event Tracking''':
     # Set the status to "On." You do not need to create the event, as the event name will be added automatically if it does not already exist.

By following these steps, you will successfully connect Segment.com to your ActiveCampaign account.
