Segment

Segment acts as a unified event bus. Connecting it gives Shingo access to cross-platform user events without needing to connect each downstream tool individually.

What Shingo reads

Track events

All tracked events across web, mobile, and server sources

Identify calls

User identity and trait data for segmentation

Page/Screen views

Navigation data for journey reconstruction

Group calls

Account-level data for B2B cohort analysis

Setup

1

Create a read-only API token

In Segment, go to Settings → API Access → Generate Token. Select read-only permissions.

2

Copy the token

The token will look like seg_... — copy it from the access page.

3

Paste in Shingo

In the Shingo onboarding flow, paste the token in the Segment connector field.

Key format

# Segment read-only token

seg_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you already connect PostHog or Amplitude directly, adding Segment is optional. It's most useful when you have events flowing through Segment that don't reach your analytics tool.
