Analytics.js / Segment.com integration to capture user

    I’m creating a sales funnel which looks like:

    1. View Site > 2. Email Signup > 3.Customer Purchase

    Using Segment.com we can capture 1. and 3. If we can capture the email signup we can assign the the users who visited the site in stage 1.

    Segment.com provide a single place to capture your site analytics and then push it out to multiple services. They use the open source analytics.js to capture this data and it’s very clean/simple method to capture.

    I’m currently using this MailChimp plugin and want to capture/send the email and and user ID on form submit.

    This is possible with trackForm documented here: https://segment.com/docs/libraries/analytics.js/

    I wanted to see if you were aware of this and had any feedback before I had a go at integrating.

    Having a segment.com integration would be ace.

    Thanks

    Elliot

    Hi Elliot,

    I’d use the success event hook for this, it’s actually pretty easy. You can simply include the following code at the bottom of your form mark-up and things should work.

    mc4wp.forms.on('success', function( form, data ) {
	analytics.track('Subscribed', {
	  email: data.EMAIL
	});
});

    You could expand this to your liking, maybe you haven’t identified the visitor yet? In my example I assumed you’d done that at step 1, but otherwise you could do something like this.

    mc4wp.forms.on('success', function( form, data ) {
	analytics.identify({
             email: data.EMAIL,
             name: data.NAME,
             newsletter: true
         });
});

    In the function callback, you have access to all the given form fields using the data array. Log it to the console to see what’s in there.

    console.log( data );

    The form object contains information about the filled form, like the form ID and the form name.

    console.log( form );

    Hope that sets you off in the right direction! Good luck!

    PS. If adding the above code to your form code, don’t forget to wrap it in <script> and </script>.
