Question: Managing the session length, reset etc.

[luigi7up]

Hi! I'm using Segment and Amplitude Action as destination and I'd like to be able to manage the session duration, be able to reset the session once the user logs out (maybe) etc

In the old Segment JS and Amplitude integration, Segment was session agnostic. It was up to us to manage the session cycle and manage it by sending an integration object in the payload similar to this one:

integrations: 
{
     amplitude: {session_id: xxxx}
}

Now, it seems that Segment is managing the session through this plugin. Is there a way to interact with the plugin or we can only do it by manually changing the localStorage values?

Best regards
Luka

Hi! Any updates on this? Would be nice if new sessions generated an event which you could register a listener on. For instance:

analytics.on('reset', () => { 
  // do stuff 
})

Our fallback right now is similar to yours; sending the relevant ids in every payload.
