Adobe Experience Platform Destination SDK

Overview

Adobe Experience Platform Destination SDK is a suite of configuration APIs that allow you to configure destination integration patterns for Experience Platform to deliver audience and profile data to your endpoint, based on data and authentication formats of your choice. The configurations are stored in Experience Platform and can be retrieved via API for additional updates.

The Destination SDK documentation provides instructions for you to use the Adobe Experience Platform Destination SDK to configure, test and release a productized destination integration with Adobe Experience Platform, and have your destination become part of the ever-growing destinations catalog.

Productized and custom integrations

As a Destination SDK partner, you can benefit from adding your productized destination to the Experience Platform catalog:

1. Standardize integration configurations across customers with pre-configured parameters and simplify the setup experience for customers.
2. Introduce a branded destination card in the Experience Platform destinations catalog for simplified customer setup and awareness.
3. Be featured as a productized destination integration with Adobe Experience Platform & Real-time Customer Data Platform.

As an Experience Platform customer, you can author an own private custom destination, which can best suit your activation needs.

Types of integrations supported

Through Destination SDK, Adobe Experience Platform supports real-time integrations with destinations that have a REST API endpoint. The real-time integration with Experience Platform supports capabilities like:

• Message transformation and aggregation
• Profile backfill
• Configurable metadata integration to initialize audience setup and data transfer
• Configurable authentication
• A suite of testing & validation APIs for you to test and iterate your destination configurations

Read about the technical requirements on the destinations side in the integration prerequisites article.
