Event transformation

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

Mailmodo propertyRudderStack propertyNotes
mailmodoUserIdcontext.externalId[0].typeOnly when the webhook is set up as an action in the user journey.
triggerData.userIdcontext.externalId[0].valueOnly when the webhook is set up as an action in the user journey.

Barring recipientData, recordedAt, email, and userId, RudderStack assigns the rest of the payload fields to properties after flattening them.

How RudderStack creates the event payload

This section details how RudderStack receives the data from Mailmodo source for different formats and creates the resulting payload.

  • If you choose to send webhook as an action in the journey, a sample payload sent by Mailmodo is shown below:
{
  "triggerData": {
    "data": {},
    "eventProperty": {
      "Name": "APPLE iPhone 13 (Blue, 128 GB)",
      "Category": "Mobiles",
      "Is Purchased": "false",
      "Price": "829",
      "Currency": "USD"
    },
    "triggerSource": "New Custom Event Trigger - Product Viewed",
    "email": "alex@example.com",
    "userId": "d3775892-****-4f2f-b9d5-e49810eb2cae",
    "journeyId": "3f135bf7-****-4e31-b265-f61cfe1bd423"
  }
}

RudderStack transforms the above payload into the following payload:

{
  "anonymousId": "26c9ad4b531287858155ffa834be13dddc2c45df6e29af7230408953d732dd92",
  "context": {

      "id": "d3775892-****-4f2f-b9d5-e49810eb2cae",
      "type": "mailmodoUserId"
    }],
    "traits": {
      "email": "alex@example.com"
    },
    "integration": {
      "name": "Mailmodo",
      "version": "1.0.0"
    },
    "library": {
      "name": "unknown",
      "version": "unknown"
    }
  },
  "event": "New Custom Event Trigger - Product Viewed",
  "integrations": {
    "Mailmodo": false
  },
  "properties": {
    "triggerData.eventProperty.Category": "Mobiles",

    "triggerData.eventProperty.Is Purchased": "false",
    "triggerData.eventProperty.Name": "APPLE iPhone 13 (Blue, 128 GB)",
    "triggerData.eventProperty.Price": "829",
    "triggerData.journeyId": "3f135bf7-****-4e31-b265-f61cfe1bd423",
    "triggerData.triggerSource": "New Custom Event Trigger - Product Viewed"
  },
  "type": "track"
}

  "recipientEmail": "alex@example.com",
  "formId": "formosztd5",
  "recordedAt": {
    "ts": 1662695704,
    "date": "2022-09-09",
