Segment Setup Guidelink

The way Fivetran connects Segment to your destination depends on whether you send events to your destination using Fivetran Webhooks or host them in an S3 bucket. Follow the setup instructions for your Segment implementation.

To connect Segment to Fivetran, you need:

Segment account (both Webhooks and S3)
Segment trackers installed (Webhooks only)
To have paid for Segment S3 option
