# đź’« Segment Partner Destination Documentation Template
> Hi Partners 👋🏼
>
> Welcome to Segment - glad to have you onboard! This doc serves as a guideline for your team to create best-in-class documentation alongside your amazing product.
>
> At Segment, we believe that documentation is crucial in delivering the best experience for our mutual customers so we want to think with the following mindset:
>
>+ Be succinct and simple in your writing. Reduce text bloat where possible.
>+ Avoid 1st person language as it’s confusing for customers if they don’t know who wrote the docs (Segment or the Partner).
>+ Where pre-reading is required, hyperlink to other more generic parts of Segment’s (or your) documentation.
>
>+ Provide actionable code samples for each API method.
>
>+ If you would like to include screenshots, please send the original image to us via partner-support@segment.com with naming corresponding to where you've included it within the Markdown below. We prefer PNG images within 400px - 1200px. If you'd like to submit a GIF, please keep under 15MB. Generally you should be able to write these out as text, so only use them when there's something really hard to explain.
>
> The below template intends to provide a standardized structure. Please **make a copy** of this template for editing and submit to the Segment team as a new note on [HackMD.io](https://hackmd.io/). You can view a sample doc as reference here: https://segment.com/docs/destinations/clearbrain/.
>
> If a section does not apply to your integration, feel free to remove. Please don’t create separate sections unless absolutely necessary. In most cases, creating a H3 (###) sub-heading under an existing section is the best option!
>
> If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to our team at partner-support@segment.com.

## Template begins here...
> Include a 1-2 sentence introduction to your company and the value it provides to customers - updating the name and hyperlink. Please leave the utm string unchanged.
[YOURINTEGRATION](https://yourintegration.com/?utm_source=segmentio&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=partners) provides self-serve predictive analytics for growth marketers, leveraging machine learning to automate audience insights and recommendations.
> Update your company name and support email address.
This destination is maintained by YOURINTEGRATION. For any issues with the destination, please [reach out to their team](mailto:support@YOURINTEGRATION.com).
> Update your company name (x2) and support email address.
_**NOTE:** The YOURINTEGRATION Destination is currently in beta, which means that they are still actively developing the destination. This doc was last updated on January 23, 2019. If you are interested in joining their beta program or have any feedback to help improve the YOURINTEGRATION Destination and its documentation, please [let their team know](mailto:support@YOURINTEGRATION.com)!_
## Getting Started
> Do not remove this line. It will auto-populate the following information for your integration: https://cl.ly/23e637f055f7
{{>connection-modes}}
> Include clear, succinct steps including hyperlinks to where customers can locate their API Key in your app. If there is an expected delay for a customer to see data flow into your integration, please make that explicit.
1. From your Segment UI's Destinations page click on "Add Destination".
2. Search for "YOURINTEGRATION" within the Destinations Catalog and confirm the Source you'd like to connect to.
3. Drop in the "API Key" into your Segment Settings UI which you can find from your [YOURINTEGRATION dashboard](https://YOURINTEGRATION.com/dashboard).
> For each of the following call types (Page, Screen, Identify, Track, Group), update:
> 1. Code snippet with relevant code sample including required traits or properties.
> 2. Your integration name.
> 3. What the corresponding call looks like within your platform (eg. Segment `page` call might be a `pageview` on your platform).
> 4. It can be helpful to describe *where* data will appear (ie. Will `identify` calls appear within a Users dashboard as well as the Real-time dashboard of your platform?)
> 5. Any other important information for customer to note when sending through the events.
## Page
If you haven't had a chance to review our spec, please take a look to understand what the [Page method](https://segment.com/docs/spec/page/) does. An example call would look like:
```
analytics.page()
```
Page calls will be sent to YOURINTEGRATION as a `pageview`.
## Screen
If you haven't had a chance to review our spec, please take a look to understand what the [Screen method](https://segment.com/docs/spec/screen/) does. An example call would look like:
```
[[SEGAnalytics sharedAnalytics] screen:@"Home"];
```
Screen calls will be sent to YOURINTEGRATION as a `screenview`.
## Identify
If you haven't had a chance to review our spec, please take a look to understand what the [Identify method](https://segment.com/docs/spec/identify/) does. An example call would look like:
```
analytics.identify('userId123', {
email: 'john.doe@segment.com'
});
```
Identify calls will be sent to YOURINTEGRATION as an `identify` event.
## Track
If you haven't had a chance to review our spec, please take a look to understand what the [Track method](https://segment.com/docs/spec/track/) does. An example call would look like:
