Delighted Source
Good to know: Event Cloud source
The Delighted Source is an event source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.
This source is supported in US data processing regions.
The Delighted source is only supported in workspaces configured to process data in the US region. Workspaces configured with data processing regions outside of the US cannot connect to this source. For more information, see Regional Segment.
Delighted is the fastest and easiest way to gather actionable feedback from your customers. Use the feedback you gather from customers in all of your decision making processes. Send your feedback to your BI and data warehouses automatically.
This source is maintained by Delighted. For any issues with the source, you may contact the Delighted Support team.
Getting Started
- From your Segment UI’s Sources page click on “Add Source”.
- Search for Delighted within the Sources Catalog and confirm by clicking “Connect”.
- Give the Source a nickname and follow the set up steps to “Add Source”. The nickname is used as a label for the source in your Segment interface, and Segment creates a related schema name which you query against in your warehouse. The nickname can be anything, but we recommend sticking to something that reflects the source itself and distinguishes amongst your environments (Eg. SourceName_Prod, SourceName_Staging, SourceName_Dev).
- Sign in to your Delighted account and visit the Segment destination to connect.
- Once you connect with Segment you need to choose which
trackevents you’d like to use as triggers for surveys to be sent people. Then you can configure Delighted to send feedback back to Segment by following the next 2 steps. - Enable the “Sync feedback to Segment” option.
- Copy the Write Key from your Delighted source within Segment and paste it into the provided box within Delighted
NOTE: We only send feedback back to Segment on surveys triggered from Segment initially. This ensures all feedback we send to Segment is identified and enriched with Segment information.
Components
Delighted uses our stream Source component to send events to Segment. These events are then available in any Destination that accepts server-side events, including your data warehouse.
Events
Below is a table of events that Delighted sends to Segment. These events will show up as tables in your warehouse, and as regular events in your other Destinations.
Delighted always sends the values received from Segment for the user_id and/or anonymous_id identifiers. All calls sent to Segment from Delighted will include the original value, Delighted never generates these.
Additionally, they also send email and delighted_person_id under context.traits.

Adding destinations
Now that your Source is set up, you can connect it with Destinations.
Log into your downstream tools and check to see that your events are populating and they contains all the properties you expect. If all your events and properties are not showing up, refer to the Destination docs for troubleshooting.
If you experience any issues with how the events arrive in Segment, contact the Delighted team.
Sending Data To Delighted
The Delighted Source works only when you also connect Delighted as a downstream destination within Segment. With the Delighted Destination, you can send Delighted user and event data, which you can use to trigger surveys. Head on over to our Delighted destination docs.
