Event transformation

RudderStack ingests all events mentioned in the Mailjet documentation. The event name is mapped on the basis of the event property which is present in each event.

RudderStack ingests the Mailjet events after converting them into the RudderStack event format. It also maps the following properties from the Mailjet event payload to the RudderStack properties:

How RudderStack creates the event payload

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

A sample payload sent by Mailjet is shown below:

{
  "event": "open",
  "time": 1664443614,
  "MessageID": 94857068804950690,
  "Message_GUID": "54d6cdec-f659-4547-8926-13d9c4126b82",
  "email": "alex@example.com",
  "mj_campaign_id": 108760,
  "mj_contact_id": 399962859,
  "customcampaign": "mj.nl=58424",
  "ip": "66.249.84.231",
  "geo": "US",
  "agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:11.0) Gecko Firefox/11.0 (via ggpht.com GoogleImageProxy)",
  "CustomID": "",
  "Payload": ""
}

RudderStack transforms the above payload into the following track payload:
