Forwardlytics

Takes event in and forwards them to various places.

You can send events to Forwardlytics, and it will forward it to many services like Intercom or Mixpanel.

THIS IS A VERY VERY EARLY NON WORKING VERSION. Use at your own risk, or contribute :)

Where are we at? What needs to be done and what's in the pipeline? See Forawrdlytics on waffle.io

Installation

• go get github.com/jipiboily/forwardlytics

• set FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY=SOMETHING_YOU_DECIDE_AND_NO_ONE_CAN_GUESS

To send to Intercom:

• set INTERCOM_API_KEY=123
• set INTERCOM_APP_ID=456

To send to Mixpanel:

• set MIXPANEL_TOKEN=abc
• set MIXPANEL_API_KEY=123

[Drip][drip] and [Keen.io][keen.io] are probably going to be next.

Deployment

Forwardlytics can be deployed to Heroku. You can setup the port it starts on by setting the PORT environment variable.

You need an integration that doesn't exist yet?

You have two options:

• send a PR adding it.
• get in touch to have it added by the author (for a fee).

Calling the API

cURL example:

curl --request POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY: 123ma" \
-d '{"userID":"123", "userTraits":{"number_of_things":"42"},"timestamp":1459532831}' http://localhost:3000/identify

See ./integration/integration.go for details of what is accepted by the API.

Development

Note that you should install [Godep][godep] if you are going to add any dependency to this project.

• FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY=somevalue go run main.go

If you want auto reloading, install codegangsta/gin and run:

• FORWARDLYTICS_API_KEY=somevalue gin -a 8080 -t .

You need to set environment variables for the integrations you want to work with.
