Getting contact details
The easiest way to retrieve contact details of an existing user in Mautic is by specifying the unique user trait in the Mautic property name to used as lookup field dashboard setting. RudderStack will look for this property in the event's traits
or context.traits
and use the value for contact lookup.
If the events do not contain the property specified in the above setting, then:
- RudderStack uses the
email
property in the event. - If
email
is not present, RudderStack then creates a new contact in Mautic.
Optionally, you can also pass the contact ID in your event's externalId
, as shown:
{ "context": { "externalId": [{ "type": "mauticContactId", "id": "1hKOmRA4GRlm" }] }}
externalId.type
is set to mauticContactId
before using the id
field for contact lookup.externalId
takes precedence over the user property specified in the Mautic property name to used as lookup field dashboard setting.Group
You can use the group
call to link or delink a Mautic contact with a segment, campaign, or a company.
A sample group
call is shown below:
rudderanalytics.group("group01", { "name": "Alex Keener", "type": "Segments", "operation": "add"});
RudderStack uses the type
trait present in the group
call to link or delink a Mautic user to a segment, campaign, or company. You can add or remove a user to a group using the operation
trait. If this field is not explicitly set, RudderStack sets it to add
by default.
The following table lists the supported group
traits:
RudderStack property | Presence | Notes |
---|---|---|
traits.type | Required | You can set it to Segments , Campaigns , or Companies . |
traits.operation | Optional | If not set, RudderStack sets it to add by default. |
Similar to the identify
call above, RudderStack retrieves the contact ID from the group
call in the following order of precedence:
- If
externalId
is present, RudderStack checks if thetype
is set tomauticContactId
. If yes, it uses theid
field for the contact lookup. - If you have specified a unique user property in the Mautic property name to used as lookup field dashboard setting, RudderStack will look for this property in the event's
traits
orcontext.traits
and use it for the contact lookup. - If the events do not contain the property specified in the above setting, then:
- RudderStack uses the
email
property in the event. - If
email
is not present, RudderStack then gives an error.
- RudderStack uses the
