+# Re-track Custom Destination Function
+
+Example of destination function which:
+* Intercepts track event from Segment source attached to it,
+* modifies userId and posts [alias](https://segment.com/docs/connections/spec/alias/) request, so Segment will know anticipated identity,
+* enriches event properties and posts [track](https://segment.com/docs/connections/spec/track/) request, so Segment will know enriched event,
+* all requests are being forwarded to another [Segment HTTP Tracking API Source](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/http-api/), given `apiKey` from function settings.
+
+## Settings
+
+- `apiKey` {String} ([write key of Segment HTTP Tracking API Source](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/http-api/))
