Segment makes it easy to send your data to Drip (and lots of other destinations). Once you've tracked your data through our open source libraries we'll translate and route your data to Drip in the format they understand. Learn more about how to use Drip with Segment.
Our Drip destination code is all open-source on GitHub if you want to check it out: Javascript,(iOS and Android work via the server destination).
Getting Started
When you toggle on Drip in Segment, this is what happens:
- Our CDN is updated within 5-10 minutes. Then our snippet will start asynchronously loading Drip’s track.js onto your page. This means you should remove Drip’s snippet from your page.
- Since Drip only records custom events and custom user data, no events or users will appear in Drip until you start using the API outlined below.
Identify
When you call identify
on analytics.js, we call identify
on Drip and pass through all of the user traits that were included on that call. You must pass email as a trait to identify the user to Drip. Note that if you want to do cross-domain tracking, after you’ve enabled it in the Drip UI, you’ll need to pass email
as a trait on the identify call on both domains.
Track
When you call track
, we’ll send the event to Drip with the event name
and all properties
that you specified. If you include revenue
as a property, it will get passed to Drip as the conversion value of this event.
Note:
If you are sending custom server side events, you must include an
email
property of the user that the event belongs to.Only conversions that are attributed to a Drip email delivery will show on the conversions dashboard page.
Sending Data from Drip
Drip supports sending email events to other tools on the Segment platform. These events will be sent as track
calls to the other destinations you’ve turned on.

Settings
Segment lets you change these destination settings via your Segment dashboard without having to touch any code.
Account Key
Your account ID can be found on your Site Setup page under 3rd-Party Integrations. It should be a 7, 8, or 9 character numerical string, like this: 83702741
.
Campaign ID
Your campaign ID can be found in your Campaigns page. Copy a campaign URL, the campaign ID will be the last segment of that url e.g (https://www.getdrip.com/account_id/campaigns/campaign_id). If you need to set this value dynamically, you can pass integrations.Drip.campaignId
as an integration specific option and we will respect that. IMPORTANT: If you put a value in here, we will by default try to subscribe every user to this campaign ID.
API Token
Your API Token can be found in your User Settings. It should be 20 character alphanumeric string, like: bmrdc6hczyn8yss8o8td
.
