Event transformation

RudderStack ingests the events from Iterable after converting them into the RudderStack event format. It also populates the following properties from the Iterable event payload into the RudderStack event:

Iterable property	RudderStack property
`email`	`context.traits.email`
`userId`	`userId`
`dataFields`	`properties`

The userId is a unique identifier in the output payload. If not provided, RudderStack creates a unique userId using email.

How RudderStack creates the event payload

This section details how RudderStack receives the data from the Iterable source platform and creates the resulting payload.

A sample payload sent by Iterable is shown below:

{
  "email": "docs@iterable.com",
  "userId": "1",
  "eventName": "hostedUnsubscribeClick",
  "dataFields": {
    "country": "United States",
    "city": "San Jose",
    "campaignId": 1074721,
    "ip": "192.168.0.1",
    "userAgentDevice": "Mac",
    "messageId": "ceb3d4d929fc406ca93b28a0ef1efff1",
    "emailId": "c1074721:t1506266:docs@iterable.com",
    "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.149 Safari/537.36",
    "workflowName": "My workflow",
    "locale": null,
    "templateId": 1506266,
    "emailSubject": "My email subject",
    "url": "https://iterable.com",
