1 00:01:37.250 ⇒ 00:01:39.470 Henry Zhao: Hey, Michelle, how are you doing this morning?
2 00:01:40.210 ⇒ 00:01:43.779 vishalag: Hey, Andrew, what’s up? I’m doing great, man. How’s it going on your end?
3 00:01:44.140 ⇒ 00:01:45.330 Henry Zhao: Good, good.
4 00:01:46.830 ⇒ 00:01:50.990 Henry Zhao: I think today should be a pretty fast meeting, because I think things are looking good.
5 00:01:52.410 ⇒ 00:01:57.870 vishalag: Yeah, I mean, I think… I think you already saw my message as to…
6 00:01:59.600 ⇒ 00:02:02.059 vishalag: How, like, the data has been…
7 00:02:02.230 ⇒ 00:02:14.910 vishalag: propagated now, okay? So, I mean, it’s the same we can do for other events, like, whatever you feel is missing, you can just let me know or something, or whatever’s on your mind in terms of next event, I can do that.
8 00:02:15.380 ⇒ 00:02:24.690 Henry Zhao: Okay, so a few things. One is, I don’t have permission here in Segment to access sources and destinations.
9 00:02:26.470 ⇒ 00:02:36.030 Henry Zhao: Before we do that, I was wondering if it’s… if it’s easy to switch, the access, instead of my account, to our Brainforge, default account?
10 00:02:38.220 ⇒ 00:02:41.779 vishalag: When you say Brainforce Default Account, what does that mean?
11 00:02:41.780 ⇒ 00:02:43.650 Henry Zhao: Let me send you the actual email.
12 00:02:43.980 ⇒ 00:02:48.059 vishalag: Yeah, because I just sent… like, so basically, I had to send the email to Victor.
13 00:02:48.270 ⇒ 00:02:53.229 vishalag: He’s… he’s the admin of Segment, so I just made you, like, one of the members, I guess.
14 00:02:53.470 ⇒ 00:03:02.379 Henry Zhao: Okay, but is it, … I just want to make sure it doesn’t cost anything or take too much effort to change the… to revoke my access and give it to this account instead.
15 00:03:03.060 ⇒ 00:03:04.890 vishalag: Just let me know the email.
16 00:03:09.810 ⇒ 00:03:10.510 vishalag: Thank you.
17 00:03:26.350 ⇒ 00:03:32.160 Henry Zhao: Yeah, and then we would just need access to sources and destinations. That’s really all. I wouldn’t make any changes, just to look at how
18 00:03:32.540 ⇒ 00:03:33.579 Henry Zhao: I’ll look that up.
19 00:03:33.770 ⇒ 00:03:36.320 Henry Zhao: And why it’s… See if it’s double counting.
20 00:03:43.330 ⇒ 00:03:47.049 vishalag: You said resources and, destinations, right?
21 00:03:47.950 ⇒ 00:03:49.050 Henry Zhao: Yeah,
22 00:04:02.830 ⇒ 00:04:08.420 vishalag: Cool, I have pinged him about that. You will hopefully get the access.
23 00:04:08.800 ⇒ 00:04:12.280 vishalag: Like, in all the other changes in, like, an hour or something, I guess.
24 00:04:13.740 ⇒ 00:04:14.500 Henry Zhao: Okay.
25 00:04:17.329 ⇒ 00:04:23.570 Henry Zhao: So yeah, I logged in yesterday, and it seems to be working. I just need to test if it’s getting double counted.
26 00:04:23.840 ⇒ 00:04:25.620 Henry Zhao: So I guess I would do…
27 00:04:39.280 ⇒ 00:04:43.930 Henry Zhao: Either way, like, if it starts coming in and it’s always an even number, then it’s double counting, so I’ll figure that out later.
28 00:04:44.100 ⇒ 00:04:46.499 Henry Zhao: I don’t need to bug you with that. …
29 00:04:47.070 ⇒ 00:04:53.829 Henry Zhao: Okay, so that’s that. So… I looked into the events that are…
30 00:04:55.120 ⇒ 00:04:58.810 Henry Zhao: So, we talked about events yesterday, right? … Hello, hello?
31 00:04:58.810 ⇒ 00:05:01.580 vishalag: Go to the home section, I think.
32 00:05:03.330 ⇒ 00:05:06.020 vishalag: This is a live event, sorry, yeah, with the source.
33 00:05:07.780 ⇒ 00:05:09.689 Henry Zhao: Yes, we’ll go to home….
34 00:05:11.490 ⇒ 00:05:12.250 vishalag: You know what?
35 00:05:12.250 ⇒ 00:05:15.050 Henry Zhao: Some data. Go to data, go to events…
36 00:05:15.380 ⇒ 00:05:25.220 Henry Zhao: I think the unexpected is actually not an issue. I think once we know what events we want to keep, all I really need to do is click Add, and it starts… and it just kind of works as… as expected.
37 00:05:25.980 ⇒ 00:05:37.429 vishalag: Yeah, I was mentioning the same thing, that it’s just that these are not identified, so if you identify them, it will be properly logged, so you can just identify them, label it or something, it’s up to you.
38 00:05:37.980 ⇒ 00:05:41.929 Henry Zhao: Yeah, but we just need to make sure that the events are what we want them to be.
39 00:05:42.150 ⇒ 00:05:47.590 Henry Zhao: So, similarly to what you did with the user login, we can do 4 or 5 of these.
40 00:05:49.170 ⇒ 00:05:51.150 Henry Zhao: I can send that to you via Slack.
41 00:05:51.610 ⇒ 00:05:52.340 vishalag: Yeah.
42 00:05:52.640 ⇒ 00:05:57.980 Henry Zhao: And then we can, by tomorrow, see if those are… are working properly.
43 00:05:58.750 ⇒ 00:06:15.789 vishalag: Yeah, so the five that you will send me over, let me know what all field data you want. I mean, I can already see the Excel sheet, but if there’s any explicit thing which is missing in the current properties of the untracked ones, you can, like, highlight that also for me.
44 00:06:15.910 ⇒ 00:06:20.310 vishalag: Overall, I think, yeah, you can just send me any 5 of it, and I can do the same for you.
45 00:06:20.690 ⇒ 00:06:25.760 Henry Zhao: Okay. But in terms of user properties, those are fine, because I was able to search myself by user ID and email.
46 00:06:25.910 ⇒ 00:06:30.060 Henry Zhao: Account created at is… is, … Should be…
47 00:06:34.540 ⇒ 00:06:39.070 Henry Zhao: is there also. And then the UTMs are there also, so…
48 00:06:40.200 ⇒ 00:06:46.540 Henry Zhao: I just need to figure out if initial is the first touch, and then… So, properties is good.
49 00:06:46.980 ⇒ 00:06:51.590 Henry Zhao: I will probably just test the events with, sign-up success.
50 00:06:52.430 ⇒ 00:06:55.270 Henry Zhao: And then these interaction events.
51 00:06:58.190 ⇒ 00:06:59.090 Henry Zhao: Okay?
52 00:07:00.390 ⇒ 00:07:00.820 vishalag: Oh, look.
53 00:07:00.820 ⇒ 00:07:09.060 Henry Zhao: And then, I don’t know right now if team ID and team name are useful. Do you think we need those? Probably not, right?
54 00:07:10.090 ⇒ 00:07:15.079 vishalag: I mean, it’s… like, if the… right now, what I see from the Excel sheet, like.
55 00:07:15.250 ⇒ 00:07:22.030 vishalag: The team is trying to understand overall product analytics, but if, let’s say, they want to understand which particular team
56 00:07:22.110 ⇒ 00:07:38.339 vishalag: And when I see, like, which particular domain companies are using default mode or something, that’s where it can get plugged in. So, I mean, we can just keep it as it is, like, you know, unexpected field value, I guess, for now. You don’t have to categorize it right now, maybe.
57 00:07:38.750 ⇒ 00:07:41.999 Henry Zhao: Okay, but do you think it’s firing properly, or is there work that needs to be done there?
58 00:07:42.520 ⇒ 00:07:44.270 vishalag: No, no, that’s firing properly.
59 00:07:44.400 ⇒ 00:07:47.900 Henry Zhao: Okay, so then… so then I… so then no work needs to be done there, then.
60 00:07:48.270 ⇒ 00:07:50.419 Henry Zhao: I might as well maybe even already categorize it.
61 00:07:51.210 ⇒ 00:07:53.780 vishalag: Yeah, I think that could be, like, pretty good.
62 00:07:54.000 ⇒ 00:08:00.970 Henry Zhao: Yeah, because it’ll be good to know which teams have more users, which ones are, like, big companies, but there’s only one user, and then also…
63 00:08:01.090 ⇒ 00:08:08.649 Henry Zhao: look at it by user, by team, and, like, users by per team, right? So, I think that’ll be helpful in terms of product analytics.
64 00:08:09.170 ⇒ 00:08:12.550 vishalag: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that’s what I was trying to do.
65 00:08:12.550 ⇒ 00:08:14.220 Henry Zhao: Okay, now I understand.
66 00:08:15.560 ⇒ 00:08:19.360 Henry Zhao: Okay, so I’ll send over these 5557 events.
67 00:08:19.650 ⇒ 00:08:31.120 Henry Zhao: And then once those are done, and you give me a ping, I will put those as expected, test those, and then we should be in a good spot by tomorrow, and I can already build out some reporting and see how that looks.
68 00:08:31.700 ⇒ 00:08:34.110 vishalag: Yeah, I think that that’s a very solid plan.
69 00:08:34.350 ⇒ 00:08:38.939 Henry Zhao: Thank you. Alright, great. I’ve been enjoying working with you. You’re a lot easier to work with than
70 00:08:39.210 ⇒ 00:08:41.529 Henry Zhao: Some other people, I will just say.
71 00:08:42.530 ⇒ 00:08:52.030 vishalag: Oh, man, like, it’s just easy, I mean, we just have to keep it as a very simple… I said you, right? Like, a simple pipeline, let’s do this, do this, do this, everything will be figured out.
72 00:08:52.270 ⇒ 00:08:55.129 Henry Zhao: Yeah, okay, sounds good, I’ll send that over to you as soon as possible.
73 00:08:55.460 ⇒ 00:08:56.630 vishalag: Alright, good, no issues.
74 00:08:56.630 ⇒ 00:08:58.529 Henry Zhao: Alright, thank you, Drew. Talk soon.
