Event structure

Segment events are slightly different from Journey Analytics events. Segment events use nested JSON, and have different property names than Journey Analytics . When integration Segment and Journey Analytics , Journey Analytics flattens these event Segment property names are mapped to Journey Analytics properties.

JSON Flattening:

When a Segment event contains a nested JSON, it will be flattened using the standard JSON format. For example:

{a:{b:"value"}}

will be converted to

{a.b:"value"}

Thus, the property name of this key will be "a.b".

Segment property names are mapped to Journey Analytics properties according to the following table. Where more than one Segment property can apply, the priority matches the order in the table.
