Identify

You can use the identify call to create or update an user in Ortto. RudderStack sends this data to Ortto by leveraging their merge endpoint.

A sample identify event is shown:

rudderanalytics.identify("1hKOmRA4GRlm", {
  "firstName": "Alex",
  "lastName": "Keener",
  "email": "alex@example.com",
  "phone": "+1-202-555-0146",
  "emailConsent": true,
  "smsConsent": false,
  "gdpr": false,
  "address": {
    "city": "New Orleans",
    "country": "USA",
    "zipcode": 900001
  }
});

Note that:

  • userId or anonymousId are required fields in your identify calls for RudderStack to send data to Ortto successfully.
  • RudderStack uses userId/anonymousId to look up the user and update their profile in Ortto. If these fields are absent, it uses email instead.
  • Use the emailConsent, smsConsent, and gdpr fields to set consent for email subscription, SMS subscription, and GDPR, respectively.

Track

You can use the track to record user activities in Ortto. RudderStack sends this data to Ortto by leveraging their activities API. The event mapping is shown below:

RudderStack eventOrtto event
event
Required
activities[i].activity_id

A sample track payload is as shown in the snippet below:

rudderanalytics.track("Product Clicked", {
  description: "Adidas Sneakers",
  brand: "Adidas",
  colors: "red",
  productName: "Shoes"
}, {
  context: {
    traits: {
      emailConsent: false,
      smsConsent: true,
      gdpr: true
    }
  }
});

As seen in the above snippet, you can use the emailConsent, smsConsent, and gdpr fields within the context.traits object to set consent for email subscription, SMS subscription, and GDPR, respectively.

warning
Make sure the events you want to send to Ortto are specified and mapped to the Ortto events in the Event and property mappings dashboard setting. Otherwise, RudderStack will drop them.
