Event and property mapping

Click the Set up mapping button to map your RudderStack events and properties to specific Ortto custom events/properties. You can also use the JSON mapper to set these mappings.

RudderStack provides the following options:

• Event and property mappings: Map a RudderStack event or property to an Ortto event/property. In the property mappings, you can also specify the Ortto Property Type.

• Custom user traits mappings: Use this setting to map the user traits in your identify events to your Ortto Person attributes.

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",
  "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.

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:

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

rudderanalytics.track("Product Clicked", {
  description: "Adidas Sneakers",
  brand: "Adidas",
  colors: "red",
  productName: "Shoes"
});
