Segment db-less identify
This code is for a website that collects email addresses but no registrations (e.g., passwords, etc.). The requirements for the project go further, but this is a necessary first step.
Project requirements:
- Simplify tracking implementation
- Use a userId, not email address, as primary key
- Avoid using a database on email-only website
Segment is useful as a canonical tracker -- a single place to track identity, pageviews. It works best, though, when a server generates a userId and calls `identify`, ensuring the userId passed through to all connected services.
Here, in lieu of a server-generated userId, we check for a Segment userId in the cookie. If it exists, we use it. If it doesn't, we grab Segment's anonymousId and re-use it as userId. This, along with the other form fields in a simple form, are used in an `identify` call that ensures all connected services get the same userId.

Add proper Segment tracking to your Mailchimp signup form
userId is a better way to join data at the user level across various tracking/email/etc. services. Why?
- UserId is stable (e.g., update a user's email address from anywhere by calling Segment identify with the same userId.)
- UserId is not PII (e.g., Google Analytics explicitly forbids using PII as a userId)
So, in addition to manually adding a subscriber to your Mailchimp list, this will explicitly assign a userId to each new subscriber and identify the user via Segment.
Quick steps:
- Get your Mailchimp list embed code here: Lists -> {list} -> Signup forms -> Embedded forms
- Use it to replace the three values in the "action" line below with your own. Also change "us6" if yours is different.
- In the hidden input field with id "bot-field", replace the name with the one from your own embed code.
