Configuration settings

Configure the below settings to receive your data correctly in Emarsys.

SettingDescription
Custom Identifier Field SettingsChoose a custom identifier from the dropdown which is populated with your Emarsys properties list. If not provided, RudderStack considers email as the default custom identifier.

If you have chosen any custom identifier while creating the contact list in Emarsys, choosing the same identifier while sending data to that contact list is recommended. RudderStack looks for the same identifier key while creating the event payload.

You must include this custom identifier field in the Custom Property Mapping section.
Default Contact List Field SettingsChoose a default contact list from the dropdown which is populated from your Emarsys account.
Discard empty contact propertiesThis setting is turned on by default and discards the empty string values while retaining the opt-in status of that contact.

If you turn off the setting and send an empty string for a field, RudderStack will not filter it and any created email (which is opted in), will be opted out for any campaign.
Consent management settingsConfigure the consent management settings for the specified source by choosing the Consent management provider from the dropdown and entering the relevant consent category IDs. See Consent Management in RudderStack for more information on this feature.
