Setup Event Forwarding
Event Forwarding sits on the Edge and allows us to create a set of rules and light transformations to send events to any endpoint.
At this step we are going to forward all events that we send into the Edge to a webhook. The webhook will act as a proxy for a third party and allow us to see what is happening.
To configure this, we will set up:
-
A Property that contains all the extensions, data elements and rules needed to decide what to forward and where
- A Data Element to reference the incoming event or parse it into multiple individual components if needed
- A Rule to add any Conditions on what to forward, transform the payload and where to send it
-
A Datastream that configures which services will utilize it (e.g. Event Forwarding & AEP)
- Data sent to these Datastreams can then take action according to the service configured (e.g. forward an event and send data to a Dataset)
