This article shows how to integrate Segment, an analytics API, with your Teachable school.
Overview
Segment is an analytics API (Application Program Interface) that allows you to collect customer data and send it to any analytics or marketing services you use, including:
- Google Analytics
- MailChimp
- HubSpot
- Facebook Pixel
- And many more
This means that instead of having to install a bunch of analytics integrations individually, you can install Segment, which will send information to those different integrations for you.
Segment has both free and paid plans. The free plan should be sufficient for your Teachable school.
NOTE: For more general information on tracking analytics, privacy, and Teachable, please review our FAQ.
