Customer synchronization from CQ to Hybris

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

I am a very beginner in CQ as well as Hybris. One of the scenarios I would like to explore customer synchronization from CQ register screen to Hybris. In depth, when the guest user registers in the CQ front end, the details are saved in customer group in Hybris as well. I am using AEM 5.6.1, Hybris 5.0.4, Content packages 5.6.100. 

It would be very helpful if someone can guide me with steps to accomplish this.

Thanks, 

Varada

There is not an out of the box CQ feature that will let you do this. However -- one of the powerful features of AEM is to create a custom service. You can write a custom AEM service by using an AEM OSGi that uses the Hybris Java API:

If you are not familiar with writing a custom CQ service - I recommend reading this community article:

You can find other examples of writing CQ OSGi bundles here: AEM Community Page.

Thanks for the reply.

Could you please let me know what are the out of the box features available? According to AEM documentation, lazy import and sync from CQ to Hybris is possible. Could you please explain how can I achieve that?
