Note: Event feed uploads are limited in size to 100,000 lines (approximately 35MB).

In order to expedite the uploading process, it is possible to upload multiple event feed files simultaneously, provided that the files have different timestamps.

Order Feed

Introduction

The purpose of the Order Feed is to provide order data that you would like to use in your marketing activities with CrossEngage. The imported feed will create the following events:

• “Completed Order” events which will state that an order has been placed

• “Ordered Item” events

Furthermore, it is possible to use Order Feed to generate general events that you wish to use with CrossEngage and which are not sent via Web Tracking or Public API.

Naming Convention

The naming convention for the order feed file is the following:

“order_history_”+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.json (UTC)

Data File

This data file contains an array of objects which contain the data of the users that should be loaded into CrossEngage. Each object defines the attributes of a single user.

In case you use multiple stores with a separate SKU or ID logic each, you will need to include a business unit that the product belongs to. The combination of business unit and Order ID needs to be unique in that case.

The .JSON file consists of an array of objects . Each of these objects represents one order will have the default keys shown below:

Order Feed Example:

It's possible to use more properties for each order than listed above. Please contact your account manager for this possibility.

Event Feed

Introduction

It is possible to import any other event other than orders in the Event Feed. In order to do this, the events need to have the same .JSON structure as the events that have been set up in the Web Tracking.

Naming Convention

The naming convention for the event feed file is the following:

“event_history_”+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.json (UTC)

Data File

The format of the file is very similar to the order feed structure described above. On top of the listed attributes, you will need to add the following key to each entry:

Order Feed is uploaded in the root of SFTP account. The CrossEngage importer will then add each event according to the specified name. Please ensure that the data you are providing in the Event Feed is consistent with the data you are sending with the Web Tracking.
