CDP Segment FAQs



Introduction

Segment is a data platform (CDP), that helps you collect, clean, and control your customer data. It enables you to unify customer data from every customer touchpoint, and empowers marketing, sales, and customer service leaders with the insights they need to design and build relevant, data-driven customer engagement.



Replaying Facebook Data



If there is a break in data, Facebook replays can be implemented for a maximum of 7 days of historical data. Facebook's event_time can be up to 7 days before you send an event to Facebook. If any event_time in data is greater than 7 days in the past, Facebook will return an error for the entire request and not process the event.

This is a FB limitation and not a Segment one, as their API would reject any event older than 7 days.
