Map Custom Event to Source Event

There are some instances where events that come to Capillary's system are not in a format supported by Capillary. For example, the Capillary does not support an event name with a blank space. Suppose an event named Promotion Viewed is coming from WebEngage (source). You need to create a custom event - promotionViewed (custom event name) and map it to Promotion Viewed (source event name) using the event mapping process.

Behavioral Events lets you map a custom event to a source event. You can do it at any phase - after creating, testing, or publishing a custom event. You can map the source event name and attributes to a custom event name and attributes stored in Capillary's system.

The following are the different stages of event publishing when you can map a custom event to a source event.
