Introduction
RudderStack is an open-source customer data platform for developers for collecting and routing customer event data to your preferred data warehouse and dozens of other analytics providers, such as MoEngage. It is enterprise-ready and offers a robust transformation framework to process your event data on the fly.
Scope
The MoEngage and Rudderstack integration allows you to track your users in MoEngage. The integration offers a native SDK integration for your Android, iOS, and web applications, as well as a server-to-server integration from your backend services.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Add a source
To start sending data to MoEngage, you first need to make sure a source is set up in your RudderStack app. Visit RudderStack to learn how to set up your data source.
Step 2: Configure MoEngage as destination
Now that you have your data source set up, in the RudderStack dashboard, select ADD DESTINATION under Destinations. From the list of available destinations, select MoEngage. Give a name to the destination and click on Next. You should then see the following screen: 
In the Connection Settings on the RudderStack dashboard, please enter the MoEngage API ID, API Key, and Region, as shown above.
By turning on the native SDK switch under Android SDK Settings on the RudderStack dashboard you can enable Rudder Stack Device Mode for Android Sources. Similarly for Web Under Web SDK Settings and IOS under iOS SDK Settings.
Your data center aligns with your MoEngage dashboard instance. Read more
Step 3: Choose the type of integration
You can choose to integrate RudderStack’s web and native client-side libraries with MoEngage using either a side-by-side (device mode) integration or a server-to-server (cloud mode) integration.
Integration types
- Side-by-Side / Device Mode: RudderStack will send the event data to MoEngage directly from your client (browser or mobile application).
- Server-to-Server / Cloud Mode: The MoEngage SDK sends the event data directly to RudderStack, which is then transformed and routed to MoEngage

Side-by-side integration (device mode)
With this mode, you can send your events to MoEngage using the MoEngage SDK set up on your website or mobile app. Set up the mappings to the RudderStack SDK for Android , iOS , or [React Native] as described in the Rudderstack's documentation.
Server-to-server integration (cloud mode)
With this mode, the MoEngage SDK sends the event data directly to RudderStack. RudderStack then transforms this data and routes it to MoEngage in the expected format. The transformation is done in the RudderStack system. To enable the integration, you will need to map the RudderStack methods to MoEngage as described in the Rudderstack's documentation.
Note- RudderStack’s server-side SDKs (Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby) support only Cloud Mode. This is because their server-side SDKs operate in the RudderStack backend and cannot load any MoEngage-specific SDK.
Step 4: SDK methods
MoEngage supports the RudderStack methods identify, track.
Identify
The RudderStack's identify method associates a user to their actions. RudderStack captures a unique user ID and optional traits associated with that user, such as name, email, IP address, etc.
Track
The RudderStack’s track method captures all the user activities, along with the properties associated with those activities.
