Putting players into a segment based on tag

Hello!

This is in reference to title A508. I wrote some cloudscript that assigns a tag to a player when they login, it's in the function called VersionCheck(). We then have some segments set up that respond to that tag to give the player an inventory item. The player is successfully getting a tag but not getting assigned to a segment. I assume there is a delay? Anyway to prime the pump? Is there another solution to add players to segments on login like this?

For reference, player id C67282331E26E2F4 currently has the tag "funnel_first_time_player", but is not in the FirstTimePlayer segment.

No - all PlayStream functionality, including segmentation, occurs immediately when the event arrives. When you specify a tag, the complete tag (which you need to use in the Segmentation filter) is "title.{Title ID}.{tag text}". I've updated your title to correct the two segments: https://developer.playfab.com/en-US/A508/segments

Thank you for your help Brendan! This change does appear to have worked :). The only thing is - I don't see the inventory change for the players that are now in the segment.

Can you give me an example? The player you called out above has been granted the item: https://developer.playfab.com/en-US/A508/players/C67282331E26E2F4/inventory

This person for example: A7988015E4F343A8. It does appear some have been added though.

@Brendan I was redirected here from my own question at 29231. For my tag I was just using the tag "MyTag", but looks like I need to update that to be "title.9E588.MyTag". Although that doesn't work?

I can't quite follow what you did to fix this previously so I can fix it myself, any tips?

@Brendan ah nevermind. The problem was that after saving and returning to the list of segments I needed to refresh the entire page to see the updated counts :)
