- Execute your request by clicking the Send button in the top right
- We are simulating a web page view being streamed to the Hub.
- This means that when we go check the profile in the next Validate section, we will see it trigger any streaming audiences, evaluate the rules it has and possibly qualify for it.
A successful call should result in something similar as below in the response. The actual values will vary based on a few things.
Validate
- Go back to AEP
- Lookup your Profile to see that the event was ingested onto Profile. It should appear in seconds. (instructions)
- Use the email in your call to lookup the Profile
- Merge Policy: Default
- Namespace: email
- Value: "{{SANDBOX_NAME}}@dep.com"
- Depending on how long it was since you last sent in an event, you may not qualify for new Audiences. Otherwise you may see these or others:
- Any Event Edge (within 15 minutes)
- Remember: all audiences saved with an Edge evaluation also are evaluated on the Hub when streaming data comes in
- dep: Any Event Streaming (within the hour)
- Event Forwarding won't send anything.
- Why? This event went to the Hub, not the Edge, thus, the event will not appear as an something for Event Forward to send, nor in Assurance.
- Destinations should send a payload to your webhook within 5 minutes. It will look similar to this below:
