Click Create Credential to save.

5. Connect the Credential

Return to the dropdown, select your newly created credential, and click Connect.

Testing Your Integration

Once connected, events from your component will be sent to Segment. To verify:

1. Log into Segment.
2. Go to your Sources tab.
3. Open the source associated with your Write Key.
4. Check the Debugger to see incoming events in real time.

Best Practices

• Use the correct Write Key for the source you want to track (production vs. staging).
• Keep your Write Key secure — do not share it publicly.
• Use Segment's Debugger to confirm event flows before connecting downstream destinations.
• Consider naming credentials by environment (e.g., "Segment Prod" vs. "Segment Dev") for clarity.
