2. Search for **Kable** in the Destinations Catalog, and select **Kable**.
3. Click **Configure Kable**.
4. Choose which Source(s) should send data to Kable, and add a name for your Kable Segment Destination.
5. Configure your Segment Connection Settings:
* Add your **Kable Client ID** and **Kable API Key**. (You can find your Kable Client ID and API Keys in the [Company tab](https://dashboard.kable.io/company){:target="_blank"} of your Kable dashboard.)
* Specify which Segment event field corresponds to your customer's **Client ID** on Kable.
* Map any other Segment event `properties` to Kable event fields.

| Setting | Description | Example |
| ------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| API Key | Your Kable API Key | `sk_test.h6kVNO3I...` |
| Kable Client ID | Your Kable Client ID | `kci_3c90e9ac92c6...` |
| Client ID Field | The field from your Segment events that corresponds to your customer's `clientId` on Kable. | `userId` |
| Properties Mappings | Map fields from Segment event `properties` to fields in Kable event `data`. Use dot notation to map nested fields. | `segmentX : kableX` `nested.field : dimension` |

## Supported methods

Kable supports Segment [Track](/docs/connections/spec/track) calls to capture usage metrics from your API. Learn more about Segment Track calls in the [Segment Spec](/docs/connections/spec).

### Track

Send [Track](/docs/connections/spec/track) calls to Segment to record [usage events](https://docs.kable.io/docs/usage-events) in Kable. For example:

analytics.track({
  event: "your_event_type",
  userId: "yourcompanyuser_1234567890",
  properties: {
    segmentX: "important data point",
    messageId: "msg_ABC123XYZ456", 
    objectCount: 12, 
    bankAccountBalance: 399.99,
  }
});

The Segment Track event above would be transformed and transmitted to Kable as:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://live.kable.io/api/v1/events/create \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --header 'Kable-Client-ID: <YOUR_KABLE_CLIENT_ID>' \
     --header 'Kable-Client-Secret: <YOUR_KABLE_CLIENT_SECRET>' \
     --data '
{
  "clientId": "messageId",
  "timestamp": "2022-01-09T09:32:01Z", # Segment timestamp
  "transactionId": "022bb90c-bbac-11e4-8dfc-aa07a5b093db", # Segment messageId
  "data": {
    "kableX": "important data point", # notice the property mapping here from the example above
    "messageId": "msg_ABC123XYZ456", 
    "objectCount": 12, 
    "bankAccountBalance": 399.99
  }
}
