Event Forwarding data elements in AEP Web SDK

Hi,

Event forwarding data elements utilizes XDM object as data source and Edge network forward those data elements values to non-adobe solutions. My question is in case of non-xdm data, what could be the data source for event forwarding data elements? Any document or example on sending non-xdm data would be helpful.

Here are some samples to create data elements:

based on the guideline given here https://docs.mktossl.com/docs/experience-platform/tags/event-forwarding/overview.html?lang=en#data-elements 

 

The make fetch call looks like this:

 

See if this helps.

@vikashyadav are you able to pass the non-xdm data to the data collection?

 

The data that comes to the data collection with XDM object, you can remap by adding rules & data elements and pass it in the format that you like to the non-adobe extension.

@chetanyajain-1 I am passing XDM data into data collection and using Event forwarding property to send it to non-adobe solution. I'm using Adobe Cloud Connector extension with "Make Fetch Call' action type in Event Forwarding property. XDM compliant data is flowing to non-adobe solution.

In order to send non-xdm data to non-adobe solution, how to do remapping? Any document or example around this would be more helpful.

@chetanyajain-1 Thanks for your efforts 😊 

I think I'm doing the same steps for sending data to non-adobe solutions from XDM data collection. 

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/platform-learn/implement-web-sdk/event-forwarding/setup-event-forwarding.html?lang=en

In event forwarding data element I'm referring XDM data

elements(arc.event.xdm.identityMap.pmiCrmId.0.id & arc.event.xdm.identityMap.ECID.0.id) and in rule mapping them to send as query parameter. 

My question is, instead of referring the xdm data element, can we map non-xdm data element with event forwarding data element like instead of using arc.event.xdm.identityMap.pmiCrmId.0.id & arc.event.xdm.identityMap.ECID.0.id, can I use  arc.event.person.name.firstName & arc.event.person.name.lastName considering firstName & lastName is not part of XDM data element?

 

 


@vikashyadav I am wondering how will you populate the data element if it's not part of the data layer that gets ingested from websdk/mobilesdk/server API?

To ingest the data into data collection, you will need the xdm defined and then you will forward it to non-adobe.

Please let me know if I am missing or overlooking the fundamentals.
