Monitoring Integration
In segment, you can go to the delivery tab under the function, to monitor the integration. Please note that event delivery from SMRT is delayed by 10-20 minutes, and only triggers on store pickup or delivery, and not on new orders.
In Birdeye, you can also monitor the integration by going to the "Contacts" page. Any contacts with recent order returns, should be listed at the top (the page is sorted by last activity). If you hover a contact and press actions => contact journey, you should see the API at work like so:
