Import event data from a partner web site

[nico9]

Hallo all,

We are using the adobe platform sdk in our web site to send event data to Aep, Analytics etc. 

Now we want to receive an event from a partner web site (one call when the user submits a form) and sent this data to the same datastreams we use in our website. 

I wanted to ask what is the better approach to do this. Maybe using the http source connector in Aep? Or we should have a data storage to send the data? 

In all the case, if we use aep functionalities, we won't have this data into Adobe Analytics,  right?

Thanks a lot to everyone

@nico9 Since it is a different org, I have them send you the data.  Options: 

1. Event Forwarding Probably what you want
2. Streaming Destinations (Segment based)

Thank you very much! the doubt i have is that this are functionalities to send data from a website that has the adobe aep suite to an external partner. The case is a little different, an external website (not having the sdk implemented) should send data to a website already using the adobe sdk. however i think it's a good point that it is an external org

@nico9 If this a website and they are ok to implement SDK, You could have them send it either 

1. Client side: Via websdk pointing to same datastream 
2. Server side:  without any client side code create a http source for the datastream and they could send data from their server directly to AEP instance

Thank you very much. However i have a doubt. the client side implementation seems easier but is it recommended? Or we have to use the http source

@nico9 If there is a way to do it client side, you should consider that. 

It is probably the most easiest way to set this up
