Newsletter Subscription

Reports that a user signed up for a newsletter. Identification event.

Report this event to track subscriptions (regardless of whether the user has an account) and associate the anonymous user ID with the hashed email address entered by the user. This event does not accept custom user ID types, and its main use is to enable personalized email features.

  • properties: A container for the event properties as specified in the following table:

📌

Using the secondary identifier

As soon as you report a secondary identifier for a user, that ID is mapped to the user no matter which device is used or which event is reported. Until it's overriden with a new value, it exists for the user whether or not it's re-reported in an API or script-based event.

Example: Implementation via script, using hashed email address

DY.API("event", {
  name: "Newsletter Subscription",
  properties: {
    dyType: "newsletter-subscription-v1",
    hashedEmail: DYO.dyhash.sha256("[email protected]".toLowerCase()) // SHA256 encoding of the lowercase email.
  }
});

Example: Implementation via script, using cuid:

DY.API("event", {
  name: "Newsletter Subscription",
  properties: {
    dyType: "newsletter-subscription-v1",
    cuid: "156498191",
    cuidType: "EcommerceID"
  }
});

Example: Implementation via script, using secondary identifier

DY.API("event", {
  name: "Newsletter Subscription",
  properties: {
    dyType: "newsletter-subscription-v1",
    cuid: "156498191",
    cuidType: "he",
    secondaryIdentifiers: [
      {type: "phoneNumber", value: "+972503803434"},
    ]  
  }
});

Example: Implementation via Experience API (server-side), using hashed email address

  }
} ]

Example: Implementation via Experience API (server-side), using cuid
